Mikal Blue's album "Gold".  I love male solo artists who sing, play the guitar, and produce.  His music is also very simple, awesome quality, and relaxing.

If I got 6 desert island discs and they all had to be Lou Reed (without including VU), I'd be pretty fodaing pissed. But if it came down to it, I'd say Transformer, Berlin, Ecstasy, New York, American Poet and ... probably RnR Animal, but not for sure.
I used to be very keen on Ecstasy as well. But a funny thing happened in that I saw a live performance of Lou at the Monteraux Jazz Festival performing mostly material from said album and it was dull and lifeless. Kinda sullied my appreciation for the album, but I still like a lot of tracks.

And I meant six LR picks. I'd never make it on a desert island with just Lou to listen to--I'd become way too paranoid within the first hour...

I like the Beatles a bit more than the Boys of Beach, I think Brian's band is the tops---really amazing. And finally, I'm liberal. That's it.

Funny, I also saw Lou perform mostly the Ecstasy material on his tour of that album, and it was a great show. Maybe it was that I'd never seen him live, or that I was lucky enough to score front-row seats for free, or just a better night. But to me it showed how strong the material was that it stood up on its own. (And the show had a classic Lou moment. Someone in the crowd: "Rock 'n' Roll! Play Rock 'n' Roll! Rock 'n'--" Lou: "Shut the f*** up." [audience laughs] "You can leave if you're unhappy."

I'm listening to Okkervil River's upcoming (Sept 9) album, The Stand-Ins. I loved their last album, The Stage Names, and this is something of a companion/sequel. This band does not come out of nowhere and change the world, but they're a really cool band, in my opinion: obviously they're great fans of the 5+ years of rock that came before them, and they're good at what they do. Plus, I like frontman Will Sheff's lyrics--I'm a sucker for literate nerds. You can see the trailer for their new album, plus new and old songs, on their myspace if you want to check them out. I recommend it (for whatever that's worth!). http://www.myspace.com/okkervilriver

Jeff Hanson's wonderful new album Madam Owl. He's got great songs and a falsetto that you'll love. Check: http://www.myspace.com/jeffhanson

He's a great musician. I read that he produced Coblie Caillat's first single too.
