The summer is a great time to find new music as well, which I endeavor to do each time around, so here's a quick look at what I've been listening to lately.
Regina Spektor - Far
Her new album is a great listen. I've heard some say that it just isn't Regina, but I really like the way she took this album. Her songs are thought-provoking and deep, and her music is incredibly good. "Eet" and "Laughing With" are two songs that I really enjoy from the album, as well as the creative and poignant song "Machine".
Ray LaMontagne - Gossip in the Grain
Good cd. I'm glad I bought it in the end, although I won't say that I could listen to him all day. The live songs are really great, and I really enjoy the songs "Trouble" and "Achin' All The Time".
David Crowder Band - How He Loves
This single excites me for his new CD that will be coming out in September, called "church music". If this is only the radio edit, I'm pumped to hear what the real deal will be when it comes.
Cage the Elephant - Ain't No Rest for the Wicked
I really like this song. It's probably my guilty pleasure of the summer. Nothing special, but catchy and reminds me of Modest Mouse in a folksy-weird-bangs-and-random-instrument-sounds way.
Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow
Because I'm so three-thousand and eight. You're so two-thousand and eight.
Can't Get It Right Today - Joe Purdy
Love this song. So simple, but so good. I love getting this song stuck in my head. Definitely would recommend. And its on some commercial for some car or something like that.
That's all for now. I'm cheap so I don't just go buy albums whilly-nilly anymore, although I'd really like to check out Andrew Bird and Wilco's new album, as well as DMB's new CD. Alas, such is the life of a poor college student.

The new Wilco is definitely worth checking out. Also the new Son Volt.
The DMB album you can wait on. I like it because the songs will make for great jam sessions at summer concerts, and none of them will be on the radio for long.
