You can only choose one band (which can be quite difficult). My favorite band, currently, is Menomena. I discovered them in 2007 when their second (third-ish, depending on who you ask) studio album, Friend and Foe, debuted. It blew my mind and changed my life. I got to meet two thirds of the band (and awkwardly wave at member number three) about a month ago when I saw them play in Madison, WI. It was awesome. Look up the song Evil Bee if you're interested. So who's your favorite band? (Or, if you find this topic to be a bit tired and overdone, feel free to participate in the provided controversial poll. It's guaranteed to make you feel slightly uncomfortable!)

Trivium. Like half a year ago I made a thread asking for metal recommendations and someone showed me Down From the Sky. I thought it was decent so I got it and a couple other songs. Then I remember listening to it on my iPod the next day and I was like"Wow this is actually pretty good." I got some more songs and they kept growing on me. Now I have all their albums except for Ember to Inferno.

What triggered your love for them? I've always been fond of Smashing Pumpkins, but I think that's mostly because I miss the nineties.

That's exactly how I am with Modest Mouse. I love that band. If I discovered them today, though, I might not be that interested.

I actually just wrote a blog about my recent music hunting endeavors. Here it goes:

Today I listened to this song for the first time while at Subway. I awkwardly laughed out loud as people watched. Go watch it. Now.

Alright, as of recent I have begun listening to a different set of music than in the past. It's a sort of Christian indie folk rock... or something. Basically, I have in the past really liked some of Sufjan Steven's music especially that which has more explicit Christian symbolism. To put it mildly, I absolutely love his sty|e of music.

Over the past few days I have sought to find more artists who follow his same genre. One extremely similar group is that of the Welcome Wagon. Why the similarity? This is Sufjan's pastor and the pastor's wife. Sufjan also helped produce their work.

Here are a few other songs/artists that I have found that I like. Not all are Christian btw:

Bon Iver

Half-Handed Cloud (especially Eyes Peeled which you can download free here)

Pedro the Lion (Not Christian but Christian symbolism, sometimes negative though)

David Bazan (Same as above as he's in the previous group. Once Christian turned agnostic.)

I shall end my blog about songs with this song by John Mark McMillan. I absolutely LOVE this song. "The man Jesus Christ laid death in his grave."

It changes all the ****ing time. I find a band/song I love, and then I just sit there and abuse it until I grow sick of listening to it.

Currently it's Powerglove, though Blind Guardian is in a mad dash of taking the title right now.

At the moment I'm totally in love with Hercules and Love Affair.
They're a colorful bunch of artists making funky house music.

I went to their concert yesterday in Amsterdam, here's a video I shot:

The Kills, the Smiths, and Gorillaz. Can't decide between the two.
