New Music

I am always on the lookout for new music.  I listen to a wide range of genres.  Since I love dancing so much, I listen to quite a bit of popular music just so I know the songs when they come on in a club, but I don’t usually buy dance music. 

My favourite type of music is a genre I can’t really put a name to.  Alternative/pop/punk all at once.  Happy music.  Bands like Motion City Soundtrack, OK Go, Attack in Black, Spiral Beach, Metric, and the new band I listen to, Vampire Weekend.  I also LOVE Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker.  If they would just re-release their CD, my life would be so much better.  I’m pretty sure most of the bands I named aren’t really popular, and I actually like it better that way.  I can’t stand having to listen to a popular song on the radio over and over again. 

Usually I’ll hear a single on the radio, and if I like it, then I’ll take a chance and buy their CD.  Sometimes it’s amazing, sometimes I listen to it once.  I thought I’d like Joel Plaskett’s Emergency but I didn’t.  Too out of this world for me. 

I have a few classic CDs too.  Like Spice Girls!  Not that they’re classic, I mean CDs like Nirvana and Bob Marley’s Legend.  And I NEED to get Queen’s Greatest Hits.

I actually just wrote that on my CD list.  Bohemian Rhapsody anyone?
