If you like classical music with a weird twist, you should go and listen to Jocelyn Pook’s Flood. If you’ve seen Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, then you’ve already heard her music. (You can buy it off iTunes; I did!)
Evanescence’s debut album really kicks ass. Go and obtain. (You can’t buy this off of iTunes — yet.)
Like a particularly tenacious fungus, that new song by Jewel has grown on me. I’ve determined it’s her voice in the chorus that does it for me. The way she holds her voice on “…heart!”. Yeah. You go, Jewel…I don’t care if you’ve been invaded by the Britney Snatchers. (iTunes has the “Todd Terry1 Radio Remix” of “Intuition” if you’re interested.)
1 Todd Terry is most famous for turning Everything But the Girl from blissed-out adult alternative folk music into blissed-out adult alternative electronic music. That remix of “Missing” that you’ve heard a million times? That was his. However, after hearing his remix of “Intuition”, I’ve determined that he is not a real person at all; he’s just the name for a preset on ProTools.
