If you like him, you should check out Simian.

i just did. simian doesn't seem all that interesting (after grabbing three songs at random). the new project, mobile disco, though definitely does =D

EDIT: what do you think of matthew dear?

Umm, interesting, but too minimal for my taste. Also I noticed YT has only crap songs by Simian, so I'm not surprised you didn't like them ;)

@Shmibs: Wow, out of all those musicians I recognize only two; Olivia Newton-John and The Seatbelts. I'll check out some of the others when I have some time. Do you have a few favorites to recommend?

I sadly recognize none. D: I guess they're totally out of my musical tastes range like jazz, opera or obscure rap or they're local bands from Arizona, right?

i don't think there's actually a single local band on there :P

菅野よう子 (Yoko Kanno): japan. music organiser/composer behind cowboy bebop, ghost in the shell, wolf's rain, and a few others
Radical Face: florida. sort of ethereal, pop-ish electronica, often written as first-person accounts of historical figures.
Julsy: french canadian (i think). she makes pretty sounds with a computron.
Wolf Parade: montreal. much more "classic rock" than most things i listen to. crackly voices. some electronics in later albums.

etc.

i'm just really attracted to his voice's dissonance. sooo nice =)/me will have to check out some simian things from elsewhere, then.

this list is based primarily on what i've listened to for the last month, so it's not really "my favourites". i'd have to know more about what you like to say anything else.

does anyone else actually use lastfm?/me is still really curious about what most people here listen to. maybe some fun graphs could be made.

O I C. I like music in general, so I'm pretty open to most things. :D *edit* No, I've never used lastfm or any other streaming music other than a radio station. I'd guess it's similar to pandora?

I actually tend to listen to more extreme music than slower stuff. For example, Dragonforce is a little too slow for me, although I still kinda enjoy them, and I tend to like melodical stuff.
