Out of curiousity...

does anyone have music recommendations for me? I enjoy The Decemberists, They Might be Giants, musicals, most things, etc, etc. (yes Erin I like what is on your CDs. I also like what is on CDs my brother makes me. Those mainly go in songs though, not bands so it is difficult to list. Yes, Alena I enjoy For It All.)

I SECOND VIENNA TENG. Vienna Teng is amazing, and full of landscape and story.

My current musical fixation is Abigail Washburn and her band the Sparrow Quartet, who play a fusion of old-timey American music, classical music, and traditional Chinese music with two banjos, a violin, and a cello. It's vivid and stunning and full of magic.

Sarah Slean is another favourite; a lot of her music has 1920s/cabaret leanings, and a lot of texture, even in the more sparely instrumented songs.

I have mp3s of all of these artists (and many more! :p) lying about if you'd like a sample. :) For that matter, just scroll through my last.fm account sometime.
