Calling all music gurus!

This entry might seem a little bipolar. So here we go first with the yang.

(Because I know how people get their hands on music these days) oddly enough, I'm probably among the last of his fans to do this, but I had a listen to John Mayer's new album in its entirety the other day. And I honest to goodness cannot remember the last time I've been

I love me some John Mayer for sure. I can't wait for the new album as well. He's always been a favorite of mine.

As for new music, well, yeah. lol Lately I've been listening to a lot of bands I've liked for awhile like Snow Patrol. It kinda makes me sad that they're kinda mainstream now. lol

But I've really been into Honestly, but as far as I know, they're kind of on hiatus. Their lead singer quit awhile back, and last time I checked their website was down. But they have some good stuff.

A few other bands I've really been into are The Spill Canvas, OK Go, The Juliana Theory, Ben Kweller, Landon Pigg, Michelle Featherstone (adore her) and Teitur. Damien Rice and the Pat McGee Band have always been favs of mine, but you probably already know of them.

There's also this guy, Adam Green, from the Moldy Peaches. He's kinda folksy and kinda vulgar and obscure, but some of his songs strike my fancy. lol

There's also Bob Schneider. He has a few good songs that I like (Big Blue Sea, The World Exploded Into Love).

I know I gave you way more than three, but oh well. :D

I am soooo glad you replied to this because I know you know your stuff when it comes to good music. I hadn't heard of Pat McGee Band (or Adam Green... or Landon Pigg... or, um, Michelle Featherstone hahaha) but I will definitely DEFINITELY spend the next few days looking into your suggestions. Can't wait! THANK YOU! You never let me down. :)

I hope I don't let you down. You know I couldn't not reply to this. I mean come on. ;)

Just be warned...Adam Green isn't typical music. lol Like I said, he's kinda vulgar and pretty out there. But it's fun nonetheless. Some of his songs are more about the melody than the lyrics for me. lol I happened to stumble upon him when I was in need of new music and was going through withdrawal. (Songs I recommend are Bluebirds, The Prince's Bed, Bunnyranch, Frozen In Time, Baby's Gonna Die Tonight, Bleeding Heart, Gemstones, and He's the Brat). Enjoy! lol

The two songs I really recommend for Michelle Featherstone are Coffee and Cigarettes and We are Man and Wife.

I think you'll really like Pat McGee Band and Landon Pigg. At least I hope you do. I'm really into PMB's newest cd, but some people argue Shine is their best album. I kinda tend to disagree. lol So I recommend their album Save Me.

Good luck and have fun, my dear! :)
