If nothing else in the new year, I am keeping to my Emusic resolution. While February’s picks didn’t find me another love like Greg Laswell, I did manage to use 48 of my 50 downloads.

Greg Laswell – Through Toledo. While overall Three Flights From Alto Nido is my favorite, this earlier album has some excellent songs.

Sigur Rós – Med sud I eyrum vid spilum endalaust. A band from Iceland, I first heard their song “Hoppípolla” on a soundtrack and felt much happier about life. While Emusic doesn’t have “Hoppípolla” (from the album Takk), iTunes does.

The Echoing Green – “True Love.” The latest single from a much loved band.

Oakley Hall – Gypsum Strings. This was in my Emusic recommendations. Different, interesting, rocky, folksy, somewhat-out-there music. I especially like “Lazy Susan,” but have yet to give the full album a good listening to.

Beth Waters – Self titled. Comes Brina recommended.

Icon of Coil – “Dead Enough for Life” and “Sleep: Less.” I picked this up because it was supposed to be similar to Iris. It’s not.

Suzy Solar – “Odyssee Breakbeat Remix.” The clip sounded promising.

Ella Fitzgerald – “My Heart Belongs to Daddy.” It’s Ella people, enough said.
