So Amanda, what have you been listening to these days?

That’s a good question. Here are some artists/songs I’m currently digging:

1. Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson (1971)

Finally got around to listening to an actual Nilsson album and it’s fantastic. Just great pop/rock music.

2. Madonna – The Immaculate Collection (1990)

Say what you want about Madonna, but pop music doesn’t get much better than her stuff from the 80s and early 90s. Immaculate Collection is a great compilation of her greatest hits and I’m hoping to dive into her actual albums at some point. But right now I’m having a lot of fun just listening to the hits.

3. Emmylou Harris – Roses in the Snow (1980)

My love for country music has been expanding ever so slowly, but each time I discover a new artist I’m completely blown away. Emmylou Harris is phenomenal.

4. Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet – Savvy Show Stoppers (1990)

Canadian surf revival garage rock? Yes please. They are best known for their song “Having An Average Weekend” which was the theme for the show Kids in the Hall.

And that’s all folks. I hope to get back into the swing of updating again, so stay tuned.
