I’m really glued to “Such Great Heights,” a Postal Service cover by Iron and Wine, off the _Garden State_ soundtrack. And “I Never” by Rilo Kiley, and the entire “Once More With Feeling” soundtrack (the _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ musical episode), which I have memorized word for word, note for note.

Anyone who liked the opening song from **Lain: Serial Experiments** go out and find and buy **Get There**!

> I saw them live by accident at a music festival in September having barely heard of them before. The whole tent was singing along to the chant (you’ll know what I mean if you know the song) and it was a fantastic atmosphere. I’ve been a huge fan ever since.

They’re quite the live act, aren’t they? The first time I heard that screaming chorus, it sent chills down my spine.

Right now, I’m listening to _Entertain_ by Sleater-Kinney. It’s got this great stomping, sneering girl-chant near the end. Cool stuff.

It’s hard to pick – I’ve got a current favorite album, so how about my favorite three from it?

Julieta Venegas’ _Sí_ is the album, and my favorites are “Lento”, “Lo Que Pidas”, and “A Tu Lado”. This album recalls some of my favorite dance / pop music from the 90s, but it’s at the same time very modern. And there’s an accordion, so you can’t go wrong.

That’s a fun disk; I really like Vivian Green’s “Love For Sale.” That soundtrack has its ups and downs, though; much as I like Alanis Morisette (and I do), she is \*not \* a Cole Porter kind of gal.

I kind of enjoy Morisette’s version, though it’s not really true to the Porter style, as you say. Sadly, as much as I love Jonathan Pryce’s voice, I do not like, “Blow, Gabriel, Blow” and often skip over it.
