I think (hope) it's clear to everybody reading this blog that I enjoy music very very much. My tastes are all over the place and I'm always willing to make new discoveries. These are some of the artists I've been listening to a lot recently. Some swing, some rock and roll, some jazz, some blues, some rock and some pop. I'm really passionate about them all and I don't think you can go wrong with any one of them. I'm also constantly listening to an online radio called Rock-It. I urge you to give it a try. It plays "1950's and Early 1960's Rock and Roll, Doo Wop, Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues". I love it, their playlists are very good and the hosts quite funny.
OLDIES
For each of these artists, I chose one random compilation of their music because I love everything they've done. The compilation is here for your listening pleasure and for easy access but please bear in mind that I am not limiting their music to these few titles.

CONTEMPORARY
It's so hard for me to find contemporary music that I absolutely love! I'm quite choosy when it comes to it - I won't always like entire discographies (it happens but seldom) and I won't always like "similar artists" whom I don't think are similar at all. Still, I do find some extraordinary artists from time to time and here are the ones I've been listening to the most recently:
Muse - Complete Discography

Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
LISTEN HERE
The Raveonettes - Pretty in Black
LISTEN HERE
Lily Allen - Complete Discography
I have already posted Alright, Still - her first album - here but I love her new album It's Not Me It's You as well. It's fresh and the lyrics are so current.
LISTEN HERE
That's all, folks, have a splendid day!
Something old (okay, none of the music I've been listening to recently is as old as that!) and something new.
