Music:
Hmm... Bear with me, I'm extremely picky with this section...First and foremost the greatest band in this quantum "the bus" ie: INCUBUS - Ol' shit, new shit, who really gives a shit!? It's all "otherworldly" & don't make a difference to me. I'm a loyal fan and stay true so anything from experiMENTAL demo tape days of Pillow your eyes, to Fungus, to S.C.I.E.N.C.E, right thru to Light Grenandes, these guys F#%kn rock!!!Oh yeah I also love... The Eels, Sonic Youth, Yeah yeah yeahs, Cold War Kids, New York Dolls, Nada Surf, Evan Dando and the Lemonheads, Beck, Jeff Buckley, Placebo, Phantom Planet, Filter, Hoobastank, Dashboard confessional, Something Corporate, Kasabian, Elefant (Aguante Diego Garcia!), Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Dinosaur Jr, Faith No More, Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley, N.E.R.D, Beastie Boys, Black Eyed Peas (Especially pre-Fergie days when they were far cooler), Jurassic 5, Resin Dogs, Lupe Fiasco, Prince...My hat also goes off to da ladiez, whom I must say produce some fine work perhaps even better at times than their male counterparts. The gals should not be distinguished simply because they are female, but essentially becuase they are talented artists (NOTE: Yes smartass, I do realise that by making that point at the same time as listing these perfomers under a seperate category is somewhat contradictive, however look at it as a special mention rather than a grouping because the following artists are women who don't just use sex to sell, they actually add a great deal of substance to the industry): Nelly Furtado, Fergie (solo), PINK, Gwen Stefani, Stacey Oricco, Vanessa Carlton, Maria Mena (my favourite!), Jamie O'Brien, Imogen Heap, Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey, Ani DiFranco, Jem, Beth Orton, Alanis Morrisette, Regina Spector, Kimya Dawson, Tori Amos, Bj?rk, Jennifer Paige, Nikki Costa, Joss Stone, Lady Sovereign, M.I.A, our own Sarah Blasko, The Veronicas...Love my chillout shit like Nouvelle Vague...Must also admit I'm a sucker for the 80's glamrock muse: Duran Duran, The Clash, The Cure, Adam and the Ants, Billy Idol, Soft cell, Alice Cooper, David Bowie I think you get the picture...NOTHING HOWEVER, BEATS THE BEATS!!! some good ol' dance music of all types, whether it be sleazy, trashy, get down and dirty electro (my personal fav), lounge, disco, trance, deep tribal, New wave electronica, Breaks, indietronica, all the fusions post-punk, indie, hip-hop (the lot), bastard pop mashups, electro-pop, Chicago House, Detoirt House, French house, funky house, Latin House (cant help it it's in the blood), soulful house, House house!!! Here we go:
LCD Soundsystem, Scenario Rock, New Young Pony Club, DFA 1979, Young Love, Pomomofo, Soulwax, Muscles, Sparcadia, Mandy Kane, Wolfmother, Mystery Jets, Futureheads, The Rapture, Cassius, The Killers, The Bravery, Franz Ferdinand, Datarock, Midnight Juggernauts, The Valentinos, Who made Who, Klaxons, The Cloud room, The Knife, Kaiser Chiefs, Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, Blocparty, The Presets, Audio Bully's, Cut Copy, Bumblebeez, Van She tech, Chromeo, Rocket Science, The Fratellis, The Caesars, Busy P, Loose Cannons, Tiga, DJ Shadow, Joachim, Pheonix, MSTRKRFT, Digitalism, 2 Many DJ's, DJ Switch, Shakes, Bookashade, Sebastian & Kavinsky the list goes on....None of the above could be accredited without making a special mention of the following pioneers of what is house music phenomena of today!Franky Knuckles, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Fat Boy Slim, Groove Armada, Armand Van Helden, Faithless, Underworld, Pet Shop Boys you are all the forefathers of house.There are surprisingly very few artists I dislike, however the following are most certainly exceptions to the rule and artists that I quite literally don't give a rats ass about... Rhianna, Pussy Cat TROLLS (like they need a fucking ninth member!), Beyonce (although I concede she is HOT skinny or PHat!), J-Ho, Paris Hilton (that is if you'd call her a musical artist... I mean like... What would you call her? Damnit what the hell is she anyway? Does anyone even know?), yeah I don't enjoy bitching so lets stop right there...Look I've left shitloads out so please excuse the add ons from time to time.
