If you're looking for things to prove you wrong,Still got a lot of enthusuasm for dubstep but aside from that nothing seems to excite, at this point I think I've mined all of the genres I love, if I go see a little band somewhere I am always questioning why they even bother doing it, no originality, no heart in anything, chart music seemed to die in the nineties, there hasn't been a decent rock act since then either, jazz is just old black men in an elevator remembering him who played with him who made something good back then, reggae is deep in the third generation of self caricature. Funk and soul are a parade of backing bands waiting for lead singers. Hip hop went too formula.
Does anyone get what I'm saying? Is this too much of an emo post? Is there any life out there?
I caught myself downloading 500 country hits just to get the burst of something new. What's next classical, then opera then jump under a bus?
Rock:
The new mars volta album is wicked
listen to Isis - Oceanic
Jazz:
Nostalgia 77 sessions ft. Keith and Julie Tippet
Jagga Jazzist
Reggae:
Not so down with what's going on these days but try downloading a few dubcasts from dub.com, always some good stuff
Funk/soul:
The whole tru thoughts label, Alice Russel, Lizzy Parks, The Bamboos
Hip Hop:
Have you heard of Flying Lotus and the whole brainfeeder crew? I think they also do a poscast. Also check out Kona Triangle - Sing a new sapling into existence.
Hope this helps restore your faith in music!
