What are you listening to right now?

This was my introduction to both of them. It was in my Amazon "recommendations" a few weeks ago and I loved the samples. I REALLY liked this one after playing it start to finish. They sound pretty good together, but yeah, her voice is like good liquor - I want more. I'll take your recommendation and look for her solo releases.

God, I love this thread

They're one of those bands I was always aware of, but didn't own any of their albums. I'm fixing that problem now

If you like The Good Earth, then check out Only Life if you don't have it yet. The band does a nice cover of the Velvet Underground's "What Goes On'." In fact, Stanley Demeski (Feelies drummer) went on to join Luna as their first drummer, another band who was heavily influenced by the V.U. I have every Luna cd, as they are my favorite NY band.

Her two solo albums are pretty good, but in my estimate her best song writing was with Rilo Kiley, coupled with Blake Sennett's great guitar work, Pierre De Reeder's terrific bass, and the steady drumming of Jason Boesel. Together, the four of them made musical magic, both in the studio and in concerts. My favorite band of all time.
