Playlist for the month of March 2012.

I got a little tired of posting a weekly chart of my listening habits, so I cut back to a monthly chart. I believe the month chart will be more useful and more interesting moving forward.

I’m still into the whole garage rock thing, but Andrew Bird’s new album took over for a while last month. I also went back to some old favorites: Captain Beefheart, Deerhunter, Michael Hedges, Chris Whitley, the Kills, Dylan & the Band. I believe my only new find on this list was Caetano Veloso, who I really enjoyed. Later.

I settled in with the new Andrew Bird album last week and enjoyed it; I’m going to see him next week and as always expect a great show. Nothing really that new, lots of playlist listens in shuffle mode.

I got hung up on Arcade Fire this last week, I’m pretty certain I played there entire catalog then listened to a couple of choice songs in the evenings. However, most of the time I was listening to my Buried Treasures playlist on Spotify which contains older Rock/Soul/Blues: Muddy, Byrds, Dylan, The Band, The Who and The Stones. I’m also really enjoying the whole punk, garage rock, rockabilly sound now;  which is where the Compulsive Gamblers, Mr. Airplane Man, Les Sexareenos and Holly Golighty came in.

I got a little stuck on Radiohead for a day last week and discovered Dylan has been added to Spotify. My wife and I went and saw Jack Oblivian this weekend, so I had to bring her up to speed. She’s always a good sport going to see a concert, even though she had never hear him before this weekend. We both had a great time; the concert was everything I could have hoped, great Rock and Roll.

I signed up for Spotify pretty much immediately after a friend of mine provided me with a free trial. This is a recap of my music I played for the week, using last.fm through Spotify. I hope to continue providing weekly updates of what I’m listening to and maybe even a monthly summary what I have discovered. We’ll see how that goes.
