minstrels play on

Okay, here's your chance to completely convert me - Angels, I need your help.

I'm in the mood for some new music, especially since I've got the day and a half trip on the train coming up. (I know it sounds long, but I actually really do like it.)

Soo give me the names of a couple of your favorite bands/musicians and I'll check them out. I don't care if I've heard them before or end up not liking them, I'm just looking for some recs - and I listen to pretty much any type of music.

You saw them LIVE? OMG, sooo jealous over here, lol

There are very few bands I'll plunk the money down on to see live, but they are *so* worth it if you ever get the chance.

I have a really good feeling about the music that I don't know on here, because the music that I do know is all really good ;)

Thank you, bb! I'll have to go check them out =)

Some of these I know (Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, We Were Promised Jetpacks) but a lot I don't! *bounces excitedly* Thank you, I'll have to go troll Youtube and give them a listen! <3

Mumford and Sons. I'm completely obsessed. They only have one album out so far, Sigh No More and there is not one single song I dislike, though I do have favorites: Little Lion Man, Sigh No More, Winter Winds, and Thistle and Weeds.

I'm also on a Sister Hazel Kick: Strange Cup of Tea, All For You, Beautiful Thing, Change Your Mind. And I could listen to Muse's "Glorious" forever. XD

Have a safe trip and enjoy the new music!

Mm, I'm totally with you on Mumford and Sons, they're fricking amazing <3

I haven't listened to Sister Hazel, although the name sounds familiar, so I'll have to check out them and Muse as well. Thank you for the recs! =)
