All of my real-life friends and acquaintences have either got really crap taste in music, are exclusively devoted to a single genre/scene that doesn't do much for me or stopped being interested in new things when they hit 25, so it's been a real joy for me to swap stuff with various Barbefolks. I'm indebted to Kooky Mojo, Rizla, Flux and Flyboy for not only sending me great things I hadn't heard before, but for rekindling my interest in new music generally. Most recent example of a great discovery = The Danielson Famile, courtesy the magnificent Flux.
Regarding recommendations on the board, it's a bit frustrating for me because I haven't the proper pipe and valve set-up for downloading mp3s or filesharing, and there are no independent record shops where I live (despite having a student population of 80 kermillion, for feck's sake), so mostly I'm left staring through the window, drooling. But I did manage to get hold of the Moldy Peaches. What are they up to these days, eh? |
