I thought I would update you on my music selection this week. Mark recommends I use Metacritic to find new bands. My method until now has been to surf Last.fm starting with my current favourite acts and finding related artists. It’s worked pretty well so far.

So beginning with The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, et al I have ended up recently at

I imagine you guys are a far better guide for who I should be listening to, gimme a recommendation in the comments will you?

Based on the bands that you are at currently (all good, btw, but I admit to some disappointment with WAS), I would suggest you check out:

the Weakerthans
Constantines
Matthew Good
Belle and Sebastian
Bloc Party
Novillero

have fun with those!

Cool, thanks Barbara :O)

I think Belle and Sebastian are going to grow on me but I didn’t have an instant attraction to them.

I mostly use AllofMp3.com but looks like I am going to have to buy from elsewhere, I can’t find any constantines and I have only been able to find one track from Matthew Good (“weapon”), I will definitely check them out and buy some of the others though.

I didn’t have an instant attraction to B&S either, but now I am mad about them. Constantines and Matt Good are definitely worth going to other sources for.

Will do :O)
