Music Recs

Hello lovely flist!

I'm looking for music recommendations. I've got an iTunes card and I'm dying to use it.

What are you all listening to out there? What's tickling your fancy (or whatever else you like to have tickled)?

Right now, I'm kind of obsessed with The Pierces, thanks to andbeloved, but I'll listen to just about anything twice. Also on heavy rotation is Jason Mraz, Tori Amos, Bjork, Gnarls Barkley, Kanye West & Beyonce' (who knew?)

So, recommenz me some artists and tell me why you like them so much. Please? &hearts

How about some old-school rap/hip hop (e.g. LL Cool J, Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, KRS-One, etc.)? Or maybe some more laid-back stuff like DJ Shadow. Oh, I think you might like David Axelrod. DJ Shadow sampled one of his songs for Midnight in a Perfect World:

Oh, I've also been enjoying some '80s electro-funk (Afrika Bambataa, Cindy Mizelle, Shannon, etc.)
