If you’ve been in my car, you know that my music taste is VERY eclectic. I go from Indian music to pop to opera to blues to classical. You name it, I like almost all of it.

My IPod is a bit nostalgic these days. I have a few bands on their that bring me back to being an emo teenager like; Further Seems Forever, (which is now replaced with Dashboard Confessional) The Juliana Theory, (Which is now replaced with The Midway State) and Squad Five-O (Which has no replacement…except maybe Motley Crue).

I just got the new Keane CD and totally LOVE it. Its more electronic then their old stuff but is still consistent with great melodies. Ever since I saw them live I’ve loved them. They put on an amazing show!

I’ve also really gotten into the new Kings of Leon CD. A bit more mellow then their old stuff but I still think its brilliant. Another band that you might like, if you like Kings of Leon is The Black Keys. They are a but more blues-rock but have just as much distortion!

Gossip is also a brilliant band. I’m so jealous of Beth Ditto’s voice. So powerful!! If you like cowbell and you like the classic band Heart, you’ll love Gossip!

I also just saw Band of Horses when they opened for Beck and totally enjoyed them! Almost more the Beck! I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of them before the show. I mean, they are nothing you haven’t heard before, but if you like catchy melodies, soft guitar and a bit of country twang- they will be your new favorite band!

And, for your girlie girls out there, you should listen to Emily Rossum. She’s the actress from Phantom of the Opera. Her music sounds like a mix of Enya /Imogen Heap.

I’m also digging these other bands: She and Him, Devendra Banhard, Igrid Michaeldson, Creature, The Ting Tings, MGMT and Noah and the Whale…just to name a few!

I hope I introduced you to some new artists you have never heard of before. If not, now you know a little bit more about my music taste- for right now
