I’m always looking for new music to listen to. It’s been a while since I’ve “fallen in love” with a new band. Over the last few years, I’ve discovered several bands (The Shins, Arcade Fire, MuteMath, Muse, Sufjan Stevens, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, The Decemberists, Kings of Leon, etc), but it’s been a while since I really discovered anything new.

I’ve been listening to a band called Built To Spill lately. They’re pretty cool, but I’m not head over heels or anything (yet). I’ve also been listening to Animal Collective, but they’re too “out there” for me to fully enjoy without engaging the avant garde / musique concrete portion of my brain.

Anyone have any ideas for me? You can check out my Last.fm profile to get an idea of what I’m into. Oh, and I’m especially not interested in worship music recommendations. I’m not trying to ruffle feathers or anything, but it’s my humble opinion that most “worship guys” produce music that is decidedly uncreative. I appreciate what guys like Tomlin, Crowder, Redman, Hillsong, etc are doing, but seriously, how many times can you use the same I-V-vi-IV progression on a CD? Anyway, that’s another subject for another post.
