Music I’m Into Right Now

Some people have a script on their site that automatically shows what they’re listening to at that moment. I think that’s a little too invasive for my tastes, so I thought I’d just make a little list of bands/artists I’ve been listening to a lot lately.
- Cocteau Twins
- Hint
- Lemon Jelly
- DJ Shadow
- Basement Jaxx
- Phonophunk
- Air
- Casino vs. Japan
- Mojave 3
- Phil Keaggy
Well, none of them are what you’d call mainstream. Cocteau Twins were pretty famous for a while ten to fifteen years ago or so. Phil Keaggy is a Christian guitar player who is insanely talented. He can make the acoustic guitar make sounds I’ve never heard before. He’s even missing a finger on his right hand, yet still manages to play amazingly!
Basement Jaxx is somewhat more well known than the remaining groups because they had a song on the first Tomb Raider movie, at the end during the credits.
Air is also pretty well-known, more so in Europe than here though. Nice music.
Hint, Lemon Jelly and DJ Shadow I discovered through Limbik Frequencies.
Casino vs. Japan and Mojave 3 I discovered through the Hummer TV ads. I went to Hummer’s site, and found out who they were. I went scouring for some of their music, and both have full-length MP3s you can download. Very different styles between the two though.
The most obscure one is Phonophunk. It’s some guy down in Australia. I found his site just surfing one day. His music isn’t even the main part of his site, just a side thing. I heard a couple of his songs and liked them.
Crap. I don’t know any of those bands/artists. I must be getting too old.
Been listening to the Beatles for 40 years, no point in changing now…. lol.
