The Divinyls love me and so should you...

I need some suggestions for new music. I want to find another band that just blows me away, but it's been awhile since I found one like that. So there is your mission.

In other news, October is the month I do not shave, pictoral evidence is inevitable.

EDIT: the house I grew up in [age 2-11] a block away from my current home is on fire at this

i've heard of all of these, but i havent really listened to half of them. i'll check em out, thanks.

You need to get your listen on.

Hella reminds me a bit of Ghosts & Vodka, only the roles are reversed. In Hella the drummer seems to be the better musician. Carissa's Weird and Blonde Redhead both sound like things I want to hear more of. As for Belle & Sebastian, what do you recommend I start with?

headphones
matt pond pa
ghosts & vodka

I've heard these, but havent really gotten into the first two. What should I be looking for with those ones?

[ducttapebill]

he's nowhere near new, but check out some of Nick Drake's stuff.

[_abbatoirnoises]

I've heard scattered bits of his stuff, any particular album to start on? I've heard Pink Moon is best, but I figured I'd ask.

[ducttapebill]

Never heard of them. Upon searching it says they've only got one album [imported at that]. ??

[earthtoryk]

you'll only find one album...probably only on cassette. 'delta 88'

[ducttapebill]

you forgot to mention section 8.

[_abbatoirnoises]
