A long weekend…

[guenievre]

Well, really it wasn’t that long. In fact, I wish it had been longer, as I didn’t get as much done as I planned, but enough thinking about that.

As I was blockaded in my sewing room for much of the weekend, I listened to a lot more music than usual. And as a confession? My music taste hasn’t really changed that much since, well, high school. This is kind of sad. Not to mention it was getting a bit repetitive…

So, people with better music taste than I, what should I be listening to that’s come out in the last 5-10 years, since I quit listening to the radio? My taste in music runs slightly angsty, leaning heavily on Tori Amos and Better than Ezra, but ranging as far as Disturbed/Korn/etc into the “harder” rock side of things… not so much into folksy, definitely not into country at ALL.

(And yes, I know about Pandora, but I’m hoping for more personal suggestions…)

Definitely Frou Frou and her alter ego, Imogen Heap (same person, different... managers? I think? Or maybe she's just solo for the latter). Imogen Heap's first album is very Tori-like, but she gets into her own style by her second album.

I'm partial to Apocalyptica, which you probably already know since they're more than five years old.

Also might be worth checking out:
Harder gothic rock: Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Naio Ssaion
More pop rock: Alex Bach, Fallout Boy, Weezer (not new, but the new stuff they've come back with is pretty good)
Downright pop: Natasha Bedingfield, Finger Eleven, Panic! at the Disco, Tatu
Celtic: Capercaillie, Wolfstone

Hope there's something there to interest you.
