I'm more of a solo musician fan than a band fan, I think. If anyone wants, for whatever godforsaken reason, to creep on my taste in music then you can do so at my
last.fm account page BUT TO SUMMARIZE: Tom Waits, Jenny Owen Youngs, The Mountain Goats (or anything John Darnielle does really), Coheed & Cambria (I already know I'm gonna get **** for this lol), Azure Ray, Radical Face, Gorillaz, Ke$ha, Imagine Dragons, Dethklok (yes seriously) etc. The Cure, The Pixies, Ohbijou and Laura Veirs are honorable mentions as well.
I'm really into the Leftover Cuties recently. Electric Patients. Born Ruffians. Late to the party on MCR and Death Cab but enjoying their stuff as I discover it. HUGE, HUGE HUGE UNBELIEVABLY FRIGGIN MASSIVE FAN OF THAT ONE BELL HORSES ALBUM but since Bell Horses was a one-time project I don't think I'm gonna be getting anything like that unless I can find it elsewhere. Which would be great, and I'll take what I can get, but still.
I burned out on Led Zeppelin and Guns N Roses a while ago and can't really listen to them much anymore, which is a shame because the former are absolutely genius. Oh! Rush! Rush is great. ♥ My general background music for when I'm doing stuff but not actively listening is either Pretty Lights or Spangle Calli Line.
I was hard into Me First & The Gimme Gimmes for some time but it just kind of died out.
I'm not really obsessive about any of them unless I'm assembling their discographies and listening to everything for the first time. Waxahatchee is putting out a new album this year which I'm unbelievably excited about. So are The Mountain Goats. I think JOY has an EP out or something but it's all just re-releases of songs she's already done which is fine I guess but I'd rather have a proper album to look forward to from her.
I could ramble forever about music but I'll stoppp
