all kinds, especially if it's live. In particular, I like wilco, the avett brothers, bob dylan, sam bush, rogue wave, okkervil river, the stones, spoon, the arcade fire, bell and sebastian, billy bragg, iron and wine, fiest, elliott smith, and locals like wax fang, my morning jacket, and arnett hollow.
anything interesting. I've been on a really bad streak lately. I've learned that just because it is foreign does not make it good.
