C'mon, New Order is just made for Miss Thundercat. Cue up Age of Consent, and just tell me you won't be bouncing around the room before its over.

A few of them run the gamut, you are right.

I also left out some bands which made it big and which I assume she is already familiar with (e.g., Talking Heads).

Come to think of it, Tom Tom Club may be the most Miss T. band ever. "Watcha gonna do when you get outta jail?"

[Kepler]

This is interesting.

She should listen to REM too Kep's hatred notwithstanding.

[Kepler]

This is very good, especially the second half.

I don't hate REM. I think Michael Stipe is an ashole. Jim Morrison was also an ashole, but the Doors were okay.

I like the early REM albums. c.f. XTC.

Just listen to Ellington wander through the keys and modes and tempos on this standard -- it's like a graduate seminar in Music Theory in one song.

America has culture.

It's just 75 years old.

rufus, every time I think of you I feel a shock right through with a bolt of blue...

[MissThundercat]

That being said, I've been listening to a lot of Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, St. Vincent, and Soccer Mommy lately. Spotify is asking me if I'm okay.

[MissThundercat]

Thanks for the New Order recommendation. "Regret" is highly underrated.

[Kepler]

The Ur-dance song from ill-advised high school sex parties, 40 years ago.

[MissThundercat]

Depeche Mode, since I'm already listening to New Order, The Cure, and Echo and the Bunnymen.

You may like Edie Brickell & New Bohemians.

I'd rather gnaw my ears off, but I think you might have a less enraged reaction.
