music recommendations

Since my Pandora account broke and I can't find anything similar, I've gradually taken to not listening to music as much anymore.
I think the last album I bought was Paramore and the last song I liked was something called potential break up song because it has a nice guitar riff.

So I go to flick through some music channels, it seems every rapper on them can only talk about themselves being gangsta while covered in chains, shades and women in their underwear.
Every rock act it seems has to be wearing suits, have shades of grey in the video and a ghostly apparition every few seconds and everything else inbetween has nonsensical lyrics and too many expensive effects in the video.
What happened to the days when rappers have turntables backing them and rock bands had leather and awesome beards?

So someone shows me some new music and I didn't even know Serj Tankian had gone solo or that metal like As I lay dying and Job for a cowboy still existed.

I'm gradually becoming old and not seeking out music like I used to, reccomend me something so I may reclaim my youth a little.

"I'm a 22 year old artist/writer/inker/letterer working on the first book being released from the studio."

So old...

My former sociology professor used music to teach class. His stuff has been burned into my skull for years.

wisper: That site is pretty cool and one of the more indy friendly ones I've seen. Does it showcase any signed musicians?

Scott: No, just no.

KD: That is some of the most unique stuff I've heard in a while, I get the impression it's inspired some of the themes in your writing.

Multi: I'm older than most everyone I know, I like that guys style, whether it actually educates anyone though is another matter.

Gothic Archies are really cool.
So our the Magnetic Fields.
Alkaline Trio rocks.
If you like Paramore, you might like The Hush Sound.
Listen to "Lotion" by The Greenskeepers if you like Silence of the Lambs.
Eagles of Death Metal are fun to listen to.
Dramarama is classic.
Smoking Popes.
I'll list my whole collection if I go on.
Listen to this stuff, and if you like it, we'll find some more cool stuff.
Oh, and if you have Myspace account,t hen you can look up most bands on there.
I don't think you really need an account to check out bands, though.
Good luck finding some cool music.

Try Last.FM. It's not as great as Pandora, but it's the next best thing you can get.
