What I'm listening to: FlyLeaf



This week I went back to a favorite from last year. Not exactly old, but not the latest release either. I really love the single, Fully Alive. In fact, I like pretty much the whole CD. It's a little darker than some CDs I have, but not so dark that it is depressing. Its almost the exact opposite of the Matisyahu CD I was listening to just a few weeks ago. This group is one of those very rare metal groups with a female lead singer.




And if you want to buy the CD, its for sale on Amazon right now for $12.98.

What I'm listening to: Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight


I'm a huge fan of Linkin Park's music, and lately I've been playing their new CD a lot.
I've got a 30 minute commute to work in the morning, so I get a lot of time with nothing much to do. Listening to music is about the only thing there is to do on that long boring commute. So I go through a lot of music, and am always listening to something different. Right now it just happens to be Linkin Park.

So anyway, here is their latest hit.

What I'm listening to: Matisyahu - Youth


Lately, I've been listening to Matisyahu quite a bit. His music is a little different, and he doesn't fit any particular genre. Most of the music world can't quite decide what to classify him as. Because of that, you probably won't hear his music on any terrestrial radio stations. I would classify his music as reggae, with a little rap thrown in.
Despite not being played on the radio much, he is getting a lot of recognition in the music world for the quality of his performances, and the lyrics of his music. His songs are really amazing. Watch the music video of Jerusalem below to see what I mean.

Check out his MySpace Music page for more samples of his music: Matisyahu
