Around 1998, I pretty much stopped listening to the radio and/or being exposed to new music ... I recently made a mix CD for Greta to listen to in the car, and the most recent music on there was Nirvana and the Pixies. And when I pick up Rolling Stone in a waiting room, it might as well be from a foreign country. It's time to find out if there are any new artists from the Aughties that I would enjoy!
Edit: Amy Winehouse is the one exception; our friend Evelin's recommendation caused me to seek her out ... as soon as I started listening to her, though, her life turned into a disaster. I think I jinxed her.

Wow, thanks Jen! I've only heard of eight of these 12 acts, and only actually heard music by one of them (Iron & Wine) ... I hang my head in shame.
ReplyDeleteWant to make me a mix CD?? :-)
PS: Alison & Robert is kind of cheating; he's around 90 years old, and I asked her to marry me when I was 19. (true story ... and a loooong time ago)
