Music I'm Listening to Lately

As I previously wrote about, I'm really digging the solo Richard Butler album. When I first heard it I thought it was good, but now it's really grown on me. I absolutely love it. Songs of note are:

Good Days, Bad Days
Maybe Someday
California
Milk

I recently rediscovered a great Talking Heads song: "(Nothing But) Flowers". I saw the video on Youtube and noticed that Johnny Marr was playing guitar. I gave it a close listen and it is vintage Marr. He's a genius. The lyrics are really cool too. They're about how the way we live changes things forever. He does it in a clever way by reversing the situation.

There was a factory, but now there are mountains and rivers
There was a shopping mall, now its all covered with flowers

Mourning the loss of strip malls. Got to love David Byrne.

Here is the video:




I also have to mention "Breathe Me" by Sia. This song played at the very end of the last episode of Six Feet Under and it was perfectly chosen. The first time I watched that episode it had a powerful effect on me and now this song forever reminds me of that.
