We like to think that we have fairly interesting and diverse musical tastes around here.
Classical, jazz, rock and roll.
Some blues, some fado, some gospel.
A little of this, a bit of that.
But not so much hip hop or rap. We have one or two cds of Outkast, Ludacris, Mystikal (what is it with these k's?) and Jedi Mind Tricks. You know, standard fare that I mostly blame on Boy. Ok, and GirlChild. And maybe my godson (I blame him for Ludacris).
Anyway, it seemed like a gap. So along with some Rolling Stones and Soundgarden I picked up a few other new cds. The combination of Amazon and YouTube is deadly, and it turns fatal when GirlChild sits down with me. But instead of coming away with an order for cds from 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige (I always want to say Bilge and that's just not right) we succumbed to the temptations of MC Solaar and M.I.A.
That's ok. They'll sit comfortably with some of our Orishas recordings.
Your godson is currently listening to Chiodos and Lost Prophets, among other things. You might like them too. I believe they would fall under alternaive rock.
