Listen Up

For me, music is an important part of creating, and based on what I choose to listen to, it can sometimes inspire me more one way or another. If I'm not tuning into some of the music that is a part of my extensive library, I find some new music over at last.fm.

Each day, I have a hard time deciding what music I want to listen to, because we have so many great artists and songs that I can choose from. Well, today I decided to choose one artist for each letter of the alphabet, beginning with A and ending with Z. This allowed me to create an amazing playlist, and I wanted to share the artists that I chose to listen to today.

A - Andrew Bird
B - Belle and Sebastian
C - Calexico
D - Devendra Banhart
E - El Perro del Marr
F - The Fiery Furnaces
G - Gary Louris
H - The Housemartins
I - Iron & Wine
J - Jens Lekman
K - Kate Bush
L - Lloyd Cole
M - M. Ward
N - The New Pornographers
O - Of Montreal
P - Paris Combo
Q - n/a
R - Regina Spektor
S - Smog
T - Thievery Corporation
U - Uncle Tupelo
V - Vampire Weekend
W - Wolf Parade
X - Xiu Xiu
Y - Yo la Tengo
Z - Zero 7

And if there was one new artist's album that I could purchase today, it would be For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver.
