Music recommendations
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 by Favio
It’s hard to come up with great new music when you have specific tastes, you don’t listen to the radio, don’t watch tv, and all you ever read is on the internet. I feel a bit frustrated inside when asking a person what kind of music do they like, and they respond with the ambiguous “Everything”, or “All types!”; but, later, they will modify that answer with some exceptions (they are inevitable, right?). So, I’m thinking on rephrasing that question to: “What kind of music makes you want to leave the place immediately?”. Should work a lot better.
Anyway, since ancient times, word of mouth has been the best way, as in there is some implicit trust, to get in touch with a lot of varied things. In the case of music, I was very lucky to meet Luis Campos (he has no blog alarm!), which is very knowledgeable in music. These are some of his recommendations with youtube videos:
Beirut - Postcards from Italy
The Walkmen - The Rat
The Arcade Fire - Rebellion
TV on the Radio - Wolf like me
Sharing music is a good thing. ^_^
