Crowdsourcing Music via Twitter (again)

One of the things I love about Twitter is the fact that I can reach out to a large group of people that are far more knowledgeable than me and get ideas for things like restaurants, cameras, washing machines and yes, music. This morning, I mentioned that I was looking for five new songs to add to my iTunes and this is the response I got.

UPDATED 12/8 @ 2:30 PM CT

The choices are in (I slightly exceeded my goal of 5 and went with 12 songs instead). I really loved the diversity of everyone's recommendations and listened to every song. In the end, I chose these:

• Mars Volta - Inertiatiac ESP
• Tanya Donelly - Whiskey Tango
• Amos Lee - Freedom
• Ray LaMontagne - Barfly
• Elbow - Mirrorball
• Blue Sky Black Death - Secrets
• Jollie Holland - Damn Shame
• Switches - Drama Queen
• Horrorpops - Misstake
• Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire
• Matisyahu - Smash Lies
• Sonics - Have Love Will Travel
