What are you listening to?
Gyrre:
'Clocks are Swell' from Gooseworx's album Dyslexic Lemons.
Skewbrow:
Lately I've gotten really into OK:KO. A quartet of jazz majors from Sibelius Academy. A tenor saxophone strengthening your classical jazz piano trio. Not very cultivated, yet, but I don't give a damn. Their acoustic, rural jazz sounds works for me.
FYI: "Kesäranta" = "Summer beach" in Finnish
This is the title track of their second album. Some critics seem to think that it suffers from one of the maladies mentioned also by our Marten Reed - trying to cram too many ideas into one song. I dunno? Again, works for me.

With the discussion on easy listening, I'd like to warn you that my new favourite song can NOT in any way be said to be easy listening. It's hard, heavy, though provoking and dark as hell. And it's in german.

I've got a bunch of free CDs from the covers of magazines that I ripped and barely listened to. I don't know why I didn't give them more attention given that Wilco and Nick Cave are two of my all-time favourite artists and I found them through CDs like this.
I'm finding some real gems. Shit that I didn't know I had by artists I now like - I recently got into Sleater-Kinney because I'm on a feminist music kick and found I had another song by them on one of these comps, called 'Rollercoaster' and my God that song starts off good and then turns into a shapeshifting beast of a god of a leviathan of a thing two minutes in. I was listening to it while doing the dishes and when the tom-toms started to sound like the world ending I literally paused just to absorb it. For what it's worth, I basically never JUST listen to music. This was something.
I'm also on a big mid-60s thing lately because we watched The Boat That Rocked recently so I'm digging through a bunch of shit I have like that; two different songs by the Yardbirds, 'A Certain Girl' and 'Better Man Than I', both of which suggest to me that I should really listen to the Yardbirds because those two songs are fucking AWESOME.
I'll embed them sometime when I have more laptop power.

Black Lily by Ken Ashcorp.

Was listening to spotify and I thought I hit shuffle for my favorites but I think I hit something else and it went to this song (which I've never heard before) and it sounds beautiful. The cover art seems questionable but it doesn't resemble the lyrics at all.
