I was thinking of the following...

Missy Elliot
The Arcade Fire
Anthony and the Johnsons

Any suggestions?

ditching the missy elliot.

Echo & The Bunnymen's Siberia is incredible.

Lots of Lloyd Cole.

Oh, go get the new Sigur Ros.

You're too young to be listening to old men wheeze about the price of bus tickets.

Number23 said:

Lloyd Cole changed my life.

Number23 said:

That's Billy Bragg.

Nero said:

For the better? I'd doubt it. There's no monkey in miserablism. Although I wished I looked like a sad Elvis.

Number23 said:

It's okay. Tell me more about chins.

I should orgnote you a picture of the French dude's chin. I bet all of this was there all along.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I wonder if Billy still gets the bus. I was a Manics maniac but I took Billy's side over Crappergate. You can't be elitist at festivals.

Nero said:

Chins can change over time though. Look at Oprah and Luther. At least finally Luther will be thin forever.

Number23 said:

ehehe, I was at Glasto that year. It was what everyone was talking about around the camp fires.

Number23 said:

Thin and decomposed.

Oh, great reader of chins.

Nero said:

Nero had an interesting chin, if that sculpture is accurate. I bet it's not, though. No doubt he told the artist he would feed him to the lions if he didn't make his chin look worthwhile.

Number23 said:

But, for fun, what does Nero's chin say?

What does a Leno chin say?

Nero said:

Well, it's disproportional to his face, which leads me to believe it has been exaggerated by the sculptor at the bequest of the Emporer himself, which then forces me to conclude he was a vain, power-crazed maniac with a hunger for decadence, enforced by years of soul-corroding moral backrupcy. Everyone needs some sense of morality. Without limits, you can scrap your head off the stars but also hit absolute rock bottom.

That he would sell his soul for a Dorito. Oh, he did. Well, that proves my theory.

missy rocks... don't ditch the missy

get The Zutons

pure dead brilliant man.

Go for some obscure but totally brilliant Swedish CDs (you can probably find them on Amazon if nowhere else):

Moder Jords Massiva - "Från Luften"
Fleshquartet - "Flow"
Lucky People Center - "Interspecies Communication"

Damian Marley's album "Welcome to Jamrock" is my current obsession.
