I usually listen to music on the computer using the “Party Shuffle” feature of iTunes on a playlist consisting of recently acquired music. It gives me a chance to get a good feel for new albums, and then when I’m at work or on the road, I listen to the four-and-five-star playlist.
I haven’t bought much recently, though, so the playlist just clicked over to only one album, the new Fountains of Wayne record. Which just isn’t that good– it’s not terrible, but it’s not so good thhat I want to listen to it exclusively for any length of time.
So, what should I buy when I hit iTunes for new music this week?
(I have my own list of stuff that I’m going to get (assuming it’s available– I’ve been looking for the album by The View for months, and it keeps not being available, but that’s a separate rant), but I’m always interested in new bands. So suggest some stuff.)
