"Pachebel wants his chords back"

[ultranos]

So, I've got a bit of a "problem". See, I got this new iPod, Moros. Moros has roughly 6x more space than I currently have music. (Moros is also bigger than my sole computer at the moment, but lets ignore that.) And despite my recent addiction to Bang Camaro, they only have one album. And, really, I can only listen to so much Shostakovich and Haydn before I want something with less...woodwinds and strings.

Which brings me to this: what kind of music do you like/would recommend?As far as my tastes go, it's pretty eclectic (witness as I jump from Matthew Good Band to Orbital to Queens of the Stone Age to Bach to Freezepop). I'm asking because I'm starting to wonder if I'm not just confusing the hell out of the Last.fm and Pandora algorithms.

I'll admit to an aversion to rap, hip-hop, and R&B, but that's mostly colored by only being exposed to the genres via my brother who listened to albums with incomprehensible lyrics and lackluster beat and tone that sounded indistinguishable from each other (and not in the amusing way like how All Linkin Park songs look the same). I'm also not fond of the "really twangy kind" of country, probably because really twanging on an acoustic guitar makes me cringe.

Did she also send you Girlyman?

I'll poke through my iTunes this weekend and see if I can't come up with some more ideas for you.

[ultranos-fic.livejournal.com]

Just Dar. She pointed me at Girlyman, but I'll admit to not having explored that very much.

If you like Dar, you might consider exploring Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, or the Magnetic Fields.

Does this mean I should look at your music collection?

[baniszew.livejournal.com]

Indeed! (Although mine's less extensive than many people's.) Are you going to the Cape next weekend?

[ultranos-fic.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* I knew I forgot about something. I, er, apparently wasn't planning on it.

[baniszew.livejournal.com]

well, some other time then. tuesdays and thursdays are generally good for me. we could also chat on zephyr or something instead of in a billion lj comments.

[ultranos-fic.livejournal.com]

But a billion LJ comments amuses me. (Also, it's giving me something to do at work. Stupid webzephyr.)

[baniszew.livejournal.com]

Oh, right; you're also behind a Government Firewall of Doom. Carry on, then. :)

**points above**

Girlyman is fantastic. They've opened for Dar and the Indigo Girls and are quirky, amusing, and blend their voices like mad.

EDIT: Okay - not quite sure where in the thread I ended up as I'm half alseep but I stand by my statement. :)

[ultranos-fic.livejournal.com]

I really should go acquire some Girlyman, then, shouldn't I? :)
