Just to touch back on the Coctaeua Twins for a sec: A lot of their earlier work is a bit "harder" and not so jangly "new age" - although I enjoy their entire catalogue.

Brit said she tired of her parents music to coin a phrase BUT here is SO much aewsome music of that time (the 60's-70's) that even I, as a rabid fan of that era have not yet heard. I am still, to this day, finding new and important music from that era. But We are not trying to tell you what to like. We are just people who really love music - a lot of different types of music for sure.

Word to Devastaor Jr. on the Kate Bush tip. She's AMAZING.

Bjork is awesome, too - even when she's schreeching. "Alarm Call" is one of my faves. Homegenic is my fave next to Debut. She schreeches, she whines, she sings, she emotes, she throws out gutteral sounds. It's a very "primal scream" type of adventure with Bjork. Kate goes on the same adventures but without SO much screeching. There IS screeching, of course, but who hasn't screeched in their life? I do it on a daily basis. Life sometimes demands screeching as far as I'm concerned. What if Nick Drake ever screeched? How awesome would that have been? John Lennon did it. All these lamo-alt-nu-metal-hop bands do it and it sounds forced to me. I'm not stuck in a rut because I like music that dates back to the 20's up until the times that have yet to come. There is SO much music to be heard and MADE. Sometimes people are in a "zone" where a certain style appeals to them more - that's ok. Been there, done that. That's the way it is. The older you get the more stuff you will be relating to - it's just life.
