Help a starving writer get inspired

[hackthis_archive]

I have a favour to ask of you lot (no, not body disposal). I have been listening to the same mp3s fifteen times a day for nine months, and really, it's starting to grate and my plot bunnies are starting to riot. So -- I need something new. Something shiny. I need something I've never heard before -- or something I've heard but might have forgotten.

Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses Matt Nathanson, your Tchaikovsky, your Jigga-what Jigga-who, your Ryan or Jeff or Snoop or Weekend Players, Portishead, Morcheeba, Massive Attack. Give me never-released Verve stuff! Give me your much-loved demos. Let's talk live recordings and 90s Brit-rock. Give me Motown and the Stones. The Beatles, the Supremes and the Strokes. Give me your Modest Mouse and other animal bands. Give me something you think I'll love. Give me something you think I've never heard. You have a song that reminds you of me* or Theodore or Seth or Jamie or hey, even Lex? Let me hear it. Please?

Stick on your website. Yousendit. Attach it by carrier pigeon, just you know, hook me up!

C'mon it's not like I'm asking for money blood. Hell, you can just send me someplace where I can DL stuff and I'll be happy -- but then I might wind up unemployed, so yeah, no kazaa or winx. I already have plenty of experience with them. Not of the illegal sort. No, never. Napsterwhat?

ETN: You guys are spoiling me rotten! Don't stop! (Thank you :)

ETN #2: I see now that the way to find out who you people are is not to ask, but to send up a distress cry for music. ::makes note::
