Hey hey. I hate to start sounding like a crusty old curmudgeon, but I've got a bit of an issue with modern music.

Seems anymore I'm always falling back on old standards when I throw on the stereo. 

(Kj, Stranglers, The Fall, Wire, Ian Dury). 

Maybe it's just me getting older, but nothing really kicks me in the plums anymore. Seems like most 'music' these

days is just sterile, unimaginative, and as threatening as a baby. I don't get alot of this 'Folk Rock', like 

Iron and Wine, Devandra Barnhart, etc. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not a closed minded twat, it's just that there's 

very little out there that's striking the anvil, so to speak.

SO gatherers, I do trust your opinions, and taste, so I ask you, what's out there anymore? What's new that's been

floating your boat? The last few good things i've dug into are: Mogwai, Thievery Corporation, 

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Polysics, and the new Firewater record (Todd Ashley - ex Cop Shoot Cop)

Thanks for letting me ramble..................
