As I sit here in my coffee-sipping, slightly chilly, waking up phase, listening to some REM and getting all emotional and nostalgic, I got to thinking about music in general and how I discovered so many groups I completely love after their heyday has passed: REM I didn't really start listening to until college, the Cure I didn't find until after

I know exactly what you mean. There are two bands that I love that I didn't discover until a few years ago, and sadly, neither one is still recording. The are Catherine Wheel and Nudeswirl.

Well, I am currently loving Joshua Radin. Don't know if he's your taste or not, but you can check out his website at http://www.joshuaradin.com/ which has some of his songs.

In recent years, I think I've mellowed and gotten impressed by a whole different range of stuff than I used to. But more recently I really have been impressed by Iron and Wine, a guitarist named Andy Mckee, and by Air.

Then of course there is the combination of asshatery and sublime honesty that is Ween. And the polished punkish introspection that is Hoobastank.

If you like female vocalists then you might like Jesca Hoop. "Big Fish" off her first EP (video on Youtube) and pretty much all of her album.

I caught Poi Dog Pondering at the end of thier band-life -- I got to see them twice. But I still miss them and the lead singer, Frank (sigh). I haven't found any good tunes lately, so I am watching your comments closely!!!
