I got this nice tape rack from my friend Nebulagirl! Here is a letter I wrote to my friend Kurt July 18, 2007 Kurt, Good to see you and it was good working with you! Here are some faves (in no particular order) All of which can probably be sampled on Myspace or maybe Youtube, Most of them are current or at least recent bands (as I thought that might be what you were asking for;) The Libertines The Shins * Deerhoof Joan Of Arc Spoon Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks Radiohead (and also Thom Yorke) * Super Furry Animals * Liars Sufjan Stevens * Wilco * Guided By Voices (also Robert Pollard) The Walkmen Dr Dog The Bees (also A Band Of Bees) * Cass McCombs Bark Psychosis * The Good The Bad And The Queen * Arcade Fire Slavic Soul Party * Stereolab * Modest Mouse Blonde Redhead Broken Social Scene * Cat Power * The Dears Dungen The Evens Evangelicals The Cardiacs ... I could go on and on,... ...I guess I kinda did. AS I am sure you know taste is subjective, and yet I still am so identified with what I like, as if I have some objective angle on certain aspects of popular culture,...it is weird. Anyway, I put an asterix by the Musicians that I felt pretty sure that you would like.....why..?....I don't know....I guess they are hunches and guesses. As i said I am sure you can check any and all of them out for free some how or other, perhaps even your library?...So I will not feel bad or take it personally if I steer you wrong and you don't like any or some of these, But I do hope that you do enjoy them! And should you exhaust this list and want more, feel free to ask! -Jeff +++
