SAVE MY MUSIC!

Sep 25, 2007 23:41

I realized lately that my knowledge of good music is painfully lacking. The playlist in my iTunes is brimming with safe, top 40 fare that is mostly going on a decade old. It's sort of like a time capsule.

Look everyone! We've booted up Brett's computer and discovered the years 1996-2002! Don't stand too close, you might cause Creed to get back ( Read more... )

Ok, here's some of my favorites, most of which I think are available on iTunes.

Big Rude Jake - interesting mix of punk, soul, swing, and jazz, with really good lyrics and a lot of inspiration.

7 Shot Screamers - glam/punk/rockabilly from St. Louis. Really fun and interesting and also nice guys to drink with.

Great Big Sea - folksy Irish-influenced poppy music with a lot of harmony and some really fast singing.

Hasil Adkins - "The Haze", as he was known, lived in a shack in the hills of West Virginia and recorded over 5000 songs on a reel-to-reel recorder. Typical subject matter included chickens, hot dogs, and a date fantasy involving cutting off a girl's head and mounting it on the wall at the end of the evening. He released an entire album of songs about chickens, called "Poultry in Motion." It's very raw, very aggressive, amateur, outsider-art type stuff. The Haze was the Wesley Willis of his day.

I really like The Fratellis, Under the Influence of Giants, and, of course, Amy Winehouse. I'm a big fan of Head Automatica (with Daryl Palumbo from Glassjaw).

Also, I'm going to throw in my support for Muse and Hellogoodbye.

Sorry sugar, my iTunes sounds pretty much exactly like yours. Except with some of the newest inclusions of Glenn Case, a couple VG bands, and Orange Range. But I'm sure you've got all of Glenn by now; if you're even interested I could bring the cds of Powerglove and ES to Pappy's (as they'll probably be in the car anyway); and somehow I don't think (as awesome as they are) that you'd really be interested in J-rock (although I could be wrong).

Why don't you go get some of that smooth stuff from the Animal Planet music video? ^_- haha And go make one while you're at it!

Squirrel!
