Fiest, New Pornographers and Arctic Monkeys
I’m not much of a music nut but I do try to refresh my music now and again. Back in high school, I was a hard rock fan. Van Halen reigned supreme. I still find nothing better than a good listen to 5150 or 1984 to get pumped up. I love Van Halen and Van Hagar equally!Later in college, my roommate gave me a proper introduction to Led Zeppelin, which was a pleasant change from my Pink Floyd CDs that were getting tiresome. Given it was the early 90s, the scene turned grunge and Pearl Jam and Nirvana were usually played.After graduation, I lived in Seychelles, a smaller version of Jamaica, so reggae and raggamuffin became favorite genres.Now, outside of Barney / Dora and other favorites from the kids, I try to discover something new and fresh to get into. I stumbled upon a few lately that fit the bill:
Give them listen and let me know if you have any other recommendations. I am always looking for something good.

Joe,
I like these picks and they definitely lead toward an Indy music feel. I would suggest checking out these groups as well (TV on the Radio, Silversun Pickups, Blonde Redhead). On a little more of the Jam/Rock scene I highly suggest checking out some Tea Leaf Green. I came across them about a year ago and have loved everything since.
Happy Listening!
