Tunes!

[batskeets]

I finally burned some new music to play in my car last night. Guitar Hero reminded me recently that I like Wolfmother. Also, for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I'm really digging Santogold.

It does remind me that I'm *really* out-of-touch with current music. I occasionally hear decent tracks on the radio, but most of it either sucks, or is music from a prior decade. Do y'all have any recommendations for things I might like that are new?

For reference, here's the list I have on pretty much every social networking site I belong to, to give you an idea of what I generally like:

80's Music (from synthpop to butt rock, you name it!), the Anniversary, Atari Teenage Riot, Bis, Cibo Matto, the Clash, D'Erlanger, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Devo, FAKE?, the Flaming Lips, hide, Kuroyume, Laputa, Led Zeppelin, Luna Sea, the Mad Capsule Markets, Mary Prankster, musicals, the New Pornographers, Nine Inch Nails, Oblivion Dust, Pink Floyd, Pizzicato 5, PJ Harvey, Rancid, RENT, Rufus Wainwright, Sleater-Kinney, Smashing Pumpkins, Social Distortion, Soul Coughing, Spock's Beard, the Strokes, System of a Down, The Ramones, They Might Be Giants, Tori Amos, Utada Hikaru, X Japan.

And... GO! ;)

I have had two consistent favorites the past year and a half or so. Take a look at The Ataris, I would suggest either "So Long, Astoria" or "Welcome The Night" (both are good but I think the latter is the better one). Or check out The Killers, their "Hot Fuss" album was fantastic. In fact that was the only CD I listened to for almost 6 months after I got it. This stuff is a few years old, but most of the main stream radio garbage does suck pretty severely.
