I have been hooked to a a Dolly Parton Album called "Little Sparrow"... I've probably listen to it seven times (the whole album) in the last three days...
Now that I am driving the older one to and from school, I listen to the radio...I never used to, so was very much out of touch with latest music etc. Gees, I wish I never switched it back on. The stuff they play these days is utter rubbish...yes, where in deed has all the good music gone!
Well there is some good stuff now too...I look at my iPod and see recent additions from Sam Smith, Hozier, Taylor Swift, Sia, Sheppard, Paloma Faith, Milky Chance, George Ezra...granted no [c]rap
Well I have Hozier and Taylor Swift. My daughter made me by the new Maroon 5 album for a song called "sugar" and then another album called Uptown Special by Mark Ronson for a song called Uptown Funk...
I've been buying stuff from the same guy for 3 or 4 years. I've probably bought 70-80 CDs from him. Today he tells me he's brought his last two boxes of CDs from his storage unit. Turns out to be all the jazz, blues and big band... He bought out a k-Mart when they went bankrupt... Usually he would charge me 2/$5 today he says you've been at it for a while, how about 2/$1... 58 CDs later...
I only one (vinyl) album by this artist, it came in a pile of records I bought many many years ago. As I understand it, she was sort of the Debbie Harry of her day - could sing and was also hot becoming somewhat of a fashion icon of the day. She made some minor films appearances and some of her songs were in films too.

The album gets a regular play in our house, if you have a record player, spend some money and enjoy: http://www.discogs.com/Francoise-Hardy-This-Is-Francoise-Hardy/release/3706440
