trip hop. it's in my heart. i like indie bands but hate hardcore. if i sorted my cds by girl/boy it would be a 4 to 1 ratio. i have a fascination with lyrics. it's an obsession really. i like sharing it. i'll send you a cd but i don't want to have some dumb pretentious battle of names. i have a sort of obession with ani and the smiths (especially louder than bombs). but these are the bands on my current itunes playlist.p.j. harvey. mascott. metric. azure ray. saul williams. miraH, tattletale. veruca salt. sleater-kinney. talib kweli. leona naess. bad religion. cursive. brand new. braid. erykah badu. alkaline trio. fiona apple. mary lou lord. rilo kiley. etta james. sarah harmer. decemberists. blow. helium. butchies. kaia. murmurs. astaire. pinback. bikini kill. denali. feverfew. alix olsen. something about vampires and sluts. everything but the girl. stephanie dosen. blondie. roberta flack. rachel yamagata. the postal service. the moldy peaches. kimya dawson. lamb. daughter darling. less than jake. esthero. emiliana torrini. lucinda williams. cure. brandy robinson. make-up. rapture. lunachicks. le trigre. kings of convience. killers. junior senior. bloc party. jill sobule. jack johnson. heavens to betsy. heather nova. go betty go. handsome boy modeling school. the firebird band. the eyeliners. emmylou harris. elliott smith. eleni madnell. elefant. dressy bessy. death cab for cutie. david allen coe. common. camera obscura. cat power. call and response. bjork. the walkmen. tv on the radio. tribe 8. the third sex. team dresch. tara jane oneil. tanya donelly. regina spektor. against me!
