FYI, this is a feed of relevant blog posts.
So this page will be for the rambling of the bands and the music and stuff, y’all. I gots even more opinions on all that.
I started a spotify playlist for anyone and everyone to add their recommendations for me to check out. You can find it here. Have a listen, it’s pretty random – and totally feel free to add some more to it. I also started a little a personal spotify playlist which is more for sharing my tastes with the world. It’s not entirely representative but you might like some of it anyway. You can find that one here. Please note that you will need a spotify account to access either of those two playlists. Some of my friends have some neat lists too, I’ll add links to them soon.
So what do I listen to? Well now. I guess I have my roots in shoe-gazing straight up indie rock of the MOR variety – perhaps that is reflected in some of my listening trends. However, I play bass (specifically one of these beautiful things – while I can’t currently afford a warwick – Christmas, anyone?) so I have a natural leaning towards something with a bit of a kick ass bass line to it. Since I’ve started playing my tastes have broadened quite a lot, I got a lot of love for the ska end of ska-punk, I love the funk and can totally deal with the jazz/funk and funk/rock perversions going on. I even appreciate some indie/electro and garagerock-type-dance-its-ok-to-like sort of stuff. Dude, I went to my first hip hop concert recently! It was mint. And if you want to know the real deal about the crew, you should check them out too. Oh, purely for your amusement there is a little clip of some of us dudes mucking round at a band practice here.
