$15 music?

[filipinareina]

Okay lj friends and community, here's a challenge. My boyfriend just gave me a $15 giftcard to iTunes 'cause he didn't want it and I have no idea what to buy. My school has a network so I can download most popular music for free **cough illegally cough** so I don't want to spend money on something not worth it. But I have a hard time thinking of

Limewire

I suggest downloading Limewire. If you're already illegally buying music, then it shouldn't matter. Limewire is protected somewhat from the law anyway.
I'd download that and then use the $15 to buy what you can't find or find good quality of there.

filipinareina:Andy c has to favourate be my all time DnB dj,not sure if hes on itunes but hes definately worth checkin out.TC is a really good DnB dj too.Goin back to the old skool,you just cant beat sublime,they're a mix of ska, reggae,hip-hop and punk.If your open to all types of music youd appreciate them.Reel big fish,mad caddies,nofx,catch 22 and operation ivy are all the same sort of style.
If you like anything french electro definitely check out simian mobile disco,digitilism,sebastian and the original-daft punk.'Does it offend you yeah'-(album)you have no idea what your gettin yourself into is a banger.
Dont forget the classics either,pink floyd,led zep,beatles,rollin stones,etc,they might seem cliched but they are for a reason.

Okay, I recommend this to everyone, but I definitely think Neko Case is worth checking out. Some of her stuff has a bit of a country feel to it, but not all of it does, and her voice is gorgeous. Anyway, check some of it out, and maybe you'll find something you're fond of?

do you have any specific songs/albums to recommend? again, only $15.

I'm a big fan of "Star Witness."

[shropshire_lad]

OK

I'm gonna go with

Harder Hit by Loquat (They're a San Fran based band I love all their songs)

Ummm let's see, either Misery is a Butterfly, Elephant Woman, or Melody (french version) by Blonde Redhead

Conscious by Bob Belden or staying within the Jazz Genre here Nardis by Jacky Terrasson

The Engine Driver by The Decemberists

If you haven't gotten into the Feist Craze i love one of her older songs Mushaboom not any of the remixes though, at least in my taste

OK i can't stop alright i didn't touch any hip hop though, but if you're looking for good underground stuff, check out: Diverse, Modill, J-Live, or CunninLynguists

Ok sorry for my long list
