The reason? --your playlist was like something directly out of my iPod (albeit without Tom Waits popping up every five songs or so). I bookmarked immediately. <BR/><BR/>I'm just missing Jim White. His 'Drill a Hole in that Substrate and Tell Me What You See' album has been in my changer for years..

Alas, those days are gone and my cool friends no longer call me because I must hear this cool new band. But that being said, I am really in to Ray LaMontagne right now. He reminds of the days when I would sit and listen to music for musics sake, even if now it is a means to pass the time while driving, or dusting my house! Keep us posted on cool bands every once in a while! I need a new music connection!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-79807093006709759732009-02-13T14:30:00.000-08:002009-02-13T14:30:00.000-08:00Wow -- thanks everyone for all the suggestions!

I'm heading over to <A HREF="http://www.last.fm/" REL="nofollow">Last.fm</A> right now to check them out.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, please keep 'em coming!<BR/><BR/>(BTW: Anon. 11:10 -- I'm of two minds about Jeff Buckley myself.
