I also burst out into loud laughter upon seeing that one video of the whiney emo dude with mascara singing while carrying a casket in the rain or some-such shit.

I have no idea who the fuck that was but it made me appreciate why emo kids get bullied.Never heard of Blue Rodeo, I know I know Tragically Hip but I'll be damned if I could name a song.Oui.Never heard of.I'll have to try the Neil Young. I liked NIN's first EP & Pretty Hate Machine but damn near hated Downward Spiral (go figure). Never heard of Matthew Good or Arcade of Fire.

The newest non-hiphop I have is Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine" and it is good. It falls barely outside your 1-year restriction though (October 4, 2005) but I'm counting it anyway. I'm going to guess that you already know about this one.

Arrested Development's new album "Since the Last Time" is the bee's knees too but it is probably on your hip-hop hate list.

I'm not going to recommend particular songs because I just don't listen to music that way. I tend to listen to albums in their entirety rather than a single here and a single there.

Tragically Hip - Nautical disaster, them bones, new orleans is swimming, wheat kings, oh here is In View (you tube) off the new album.

Blue Rodeo is just melancholy music. Elderon has a hard on for it. To be fair the lead singer has an amazing voice and the songs stick with ya.

Mogwai is otay, Massive Attack is meh but featured on a lot of stuff. If you dl'ed one of their cd's you would probably know a few of their tunes.

Matthew good is a canadian singer song writer. Not a fan but some seem to like lhim whether its his acoustic stuff like Apparitions or more rock stuff like The Future is X-rated.

Out of them all I would recommend the Hip, Mogwai and possibly Blue Rodeo (just to keep Eldy off my back)

I've played both Massive Attack and Pete Yorn for him, but he doesn't seem to get hooked. He hearts him some Tom Petty, though. One of the few male vocalists he likes.

My "music that sucks" comment was directed towards those who'd rather ride my case for asking about new tunes than actually cough up a suggestion

I get the feeling Joph is a huge Gordon Lighfoot fan.

So I'll reccommend one more, and you can't possibly go wrong with this album, because the entire thing is songs about our great state of Illinois.

It's by Sufjan Stevens and aptly entitled ILLINOISE.

Best of all Joph, it has a song which is sure to warm your heart called Casmir Pulaski Day. Talk about getting Flea up to date on famous Polish people, while you guys drive to IKEA on saturdays!

Come on! Feel the ILLINOISE!



You could always just play it safe and go with some Cat Stevens, everybody like Cat Stevens.

The Dresden Dolls.

Go with Sirius! I am so hooked.

My bag has Polish eagles, too! I also have two links in my fridge that make the entire thing smell Polish.

i don't get it..

Is a Polish eagle like a buzzard or something? That would be pretty Polish.

Can't help ya Joph.I'm an old fart myself

I relaly cannot think of anything particularly Polish except for Pollock jokes and Polka.

C'mon now, there must be plenty of music that's been out there for years that will still be new to you.

Anyway.. I'll play fast and loose with The Rule, and nominate Robert Randolph and the Family band. I've only heard one cut off his latest album, but his previous two albums were terrific. He's pretty much the only guy I know of that play's a pedal steel guitar and isn't making whiney noises on sappy country songs with it.
