I've been getting into music like crazy within the last couple of weeks, and exploring as much as possible. I think I may have stated this a couple posts ago but now its more different.
I've added over 100 artists into my musical library, and even more albums and songs. My goal was to hit 7500 songs, but I've past that last week, and now my new goal is 10000 songs.
I wrote about two artists, Harlem Shakes, and Mouthful Of Bees, which I could not find, and still cannot find. But here is an updated list of music that I want to find and import into my library. Here's my list anyway.
Mouthful of Bees
Harlem Shakes
Handsome Furs
The Microphones
The Black Keys
The Raconteurs
Chris Bell
The Real Tuesday Weld
Paul Tiernan
Richard Hawley
Army Navy
The Submarines
Takka Takka
The Dead 60s
Devendra Banhart
Mark Mothersbaugh
Harlem Shakes
Handsome Furs
The Microphones
The Black Keys
The Raconteurs
Chris Bell

Takka Takka
The Dead 60s
Devendra Banhart
Mark Mothersbaugh
I usually research the music that I listen to, and find more people related to that initial artist. I usually find 4-6 artists that relate to the band that I am listening to.
For example, when I listen to The Beatles, and I look up related artists, I'd get John Lennon, George Harrison, The Wings, and Ringo Starr And The All Starr Band.
So the music branches out pretty quickly.
I just want to state that I hate it when people don't know anything about the music that they listen to. I'd go to school and see people with Interpol, Metallica, and Beatles shirts. Now I get frustrated every time I see someone with those shirts on, because I go up to them and ask them "Oh, so which album do you think is the greatest?" and they sit their looking at me like what am I talking about.
I actually just saw a girl with a Beatles shirt on, and she could not name 2 albums by them, or even 10 songs. It was horrible.
In other news, I've been watching Avatar, and since it's a pretty short show, I'm almost done with it. I really like it so far.

Please let me know if you like the new Raconteurs album. I found the last one to be dull.
You might want to consider a different display for comments. Currently they display in a new window when the link is clicked. There should be an option for them to be read directly on the page. Thanks.
