My friend Cara was kind enough to get me a very generous iTunes card for my birthday and as a present that I could take with me on my travels. I’m pretty stunted when it comes to music, and the suggestions of iTunes can only take you so far. So I put it out to Twitter for new suggestions. I got recommendations on 36 new bands. Which is incredible for someone who has bought a total of 5 CDs in her life.
Hands down, the favorite thing I downloaded so far is Shadows from Au Revoir Simone. Julie described her as Grey’s Anatomy music, which is an apt description for the band and my music taste. With a little Gossip Girl soundtrack and some Jay Z, you’ve summed up my music taste. (But seriously, have you listened to Blueprint 3?) Some of the other great suggestions were Phoenix, Camera Obscura, Airborne Toxic Event, The Raveonettes, The Rosebuds, Barcelona, Mayor Hawthorne and White Denim.
Thanks Twitter!
