anyone have any music suggestions?

[tiedye]

I've got my passions, but lately I've been starting to listen to different music. I'm curious about hip-hop, but I'm very apprehensive about it. I'm not into the "slap yo bitch, *****" attitude, but I've heard some really chill, groovy shit - funky even. I've also started listening to more soulfull music, like Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. Basically, I just want more variety. My tastes cover a plethora of genres, so it really doesn't matter what you suggest, as long as you like it and it's not Top 40 material. Oh, and I'm a die-hard blues fan, too!

I dig progressive hard house, when it's still got backbone.

[Chewy]

[b0ld]

Personally I like each and every electronic genre that is out there....
Right now been digging breakcore/experimental/idm stuff...

As per progressive... fuck ya... I like the deep tribal / progressive stuff especially

Tribal does it for me too man! I'm learning how to play congas and shit! To be honest though, I have (ignorantly) not kept track of what artists I like or anything. I just try to surround myself with it as much as possible, so if you have any suggestions, I wouldn't mind being educated.

[WYATT]

I once saw Tom Morello hit his pickups onstage with a hammer so he could get a crunchier tone! he's like a human effects pedal. I read an article recently where he claimed to tune to drop d and JUST play around on the 3rd and 5th fret, but like the journalist said, that's like saying Van Gogh JUST threw some red, yellow, and blue onto a canvas! RATM is still to this day the strongest link between hip-hop and metal. 100,000 kharma points to Kustom!
