I know, I’ve had music on my mind a lot lately, and I’ve been obsessing. I’m incredibly jealous of those at SXSW music this week, more so than SXSWi (don’t get me wrong, it looked like a blast, though!). I guess I’m living vicariously through Buzz’s photos of the event.
I recently went on a record store run with Ryan and had a lot of fun going through the racks with someone that lives in very similar musical worlds as I. We were able to make suggestions to each other and truthfully say that we would think the other would enjoy such and such an artist/album.
Last weekend, Robert and I traded a bunch of music files in the same spirit (puttin’ PodWorks to good use, hee). I’m in music heaven right now, to say the least.
So I thought I’d share some of my current musical obsessions… some are old, some are new, but these are the bands I’ve had in regular rotation as of late (I guess this is prolly also reflected in my last.fm profile for the most part, but hey, it’s worth posting):
- Pinback – @Bimbo’s soon, yay!
- American Analog Set
- Air Miami
- Sigur Rós
- His Name is Alive – @Cafe du Nord next week!
- The Arcade Fire
Mostly the type of stuff that I’ve already expressed that I’ve had an affinity for before, more of the mellow stuff that I like to play during work or late at night when at home. Some of Arcade Fire’s and Air Miami’s stuff is a bit outside of that mold, but I never said I was that consistent, did I? 
Okay, back to working and my tunes.
Ah, too bad you couldn’t make it to SXSW! Although, I have to say, sitting here at the Austin airport at 7 AM after having stayed up all night (and most of the previous three days) watching music, I think I’m quite ready to get away from music for awhile. Perhaps I shouldn’t have bought that Noise Pop badge…
