wanted: new music

the combination of my xm antenna breaking on my recent trip to syracuse* and my lack of driving has caused a serious problem for me. my exposure to new music has decreased substantially recently...and i'm not happy about.

i can't function without music. there is basically a constant soundtrack going on in my life. i fall asleep to music, wake up to music, shower to music, walk to school and back with music, and listen to music while i'm working, cooking, cleaning, and often while watching the tv** (or blogging - song currently playing: band of horses - the general specific).

anybody have any new music suggestions?

song playing as i sign off...badly drawn boy - once around the block



* as i was digging my car out of the snow, a huge chunk of the thick layer of built-up ice came off the roof...taking the antenna with it. with only 1 cd and terrible fm radio reception, i was forced to make an emergency walmart stop to buy a transmitter for my ipod.

** a lot of people here think it is weird that i'll be listening to music while also having the tv on. it is something i picked up from my good friend zach "coach" miller.

why don't you do xm online? you can access it from any computer, and i know you spend a lot of time doing computer work.

i get a lot of new music ideas from rolling stone. they are always featuring new people and new releases. when i go through, i tear out the pages with info about artists/songs i've never heard and then i get on the computer and see what i like.
