do you know the mountain goats? they're a band with music that's really different from a lot of other stuff i've heard - their music and the lead singer's voice is SO distinctive. once you start listening to them, you'll recognize their songs immediately, even if you've never heard them. love them. i guess they're folk? bluegrass? itunes classifies them as "alternative," but what does itunes know.
this is a great collection of some of their best songs - check them out! i'm particularly in love with the first two.
(thanks to pandora for telling me - correctly - that i would like the mountain goats. thanks to nora for this link! nora is that friend who knows everything about any kind of music you bring up. i love this about her. and she has a new blog! so you should check it out.)
Thanks for the plug, Miss Claire! Can't wait until MLK weekend :)
