what you listening to?

So what are the kids listening to these days?  At my office, we have the radio on all day, but it is on an inoffensive middle of the road pop station where I get to hear a lot of Queen and Britney Spears.  To be fair, they play a good amount of stuff that isn’t terrible, but I am starting to feel disconnected from good music.

Back In The Day, when I lived in Seattle, I hung out with all the cool people and most of my friends were musicians or promoters or in some way connected to good music.  I was friends with the guys from Poor Old Lu and with Damien Jurado and some of the guys from Pedro the Lion.  

The last bunch of music I acquired was a Leigh Nash cd, a few cd’s of Over the Rhine, Fair (Aaron Sprinkle’s new band) and The Killers and I downloaded the free cd from This Diminishing West. 

What am I missing?  What is going on back in the real world that I’m missing over here in the land of techno and pop?  I desperately miss living in a country that doesn’t give a crap about Robbie Williams.
