I am, if nothing else, an avid music listener. Anything goes really, rock, pop, dance (including trance and some of the more hardcore stuff), but also things like country and so on.

What fascinates me though is finding new music, stuff to add to my iTunes (and inevitably my iPod) - I've got Spotify but I'm trying to move away from streaming again, having had my iPod for numerous years, it's time for it to come back again. With the start of this year, I tasked myself to listen to an album fully throughout a week, whether that's one that is new to me, or one that I've not heard for some time. I try and do something of a writeup on my website, but it's never that in-depth, really.

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of 90s Indie music lately, especially Kula Shaker's 1996 album K. Although, this morning I've decided to play Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993) by Sarah McLachlan.

So, the floor is yours folks, what sort of music has been your current mood? Or even just a guilty pleasure?

hell yeah ipod users unite!! i have a 4th gen nano that i got 3 years ago and she's still goin strong!! (though the 8gb is a bit of a limitation lol)

i absolutely love the challenge you've given yourself, tbh i'd love to do the same at some point! i'd like to say that infinity on high is my absolute FAVORITE fob album so it made me happy to see you listened to it! :]

as for music i've been listening to lately, i've been all over the place @_@ to name a few favorites though, i'd have to say senses fail, dave matthews band, and fall out boy.

senses fail is a 2000s post-hardcore/pop punk-ish band and i've listened to their first three albums so far. their second album 'still searching' is arguably my favorite for its songs about struggling with faith (...and really just life in general)

i'd hope you all know dave matthews band! my parents basically raised me on them, i remember they used to go to a show every damn year! some of my favorites from them are 'spoon', 'pay for what you get', and '#41'. dmb has and will always be close to my heart because of how much my parents loved them :] (well. i should add that i've gotten my father back into them, but my mother is over it lol)

and well i simply just love fob. i saw them in 2024 with my friend and i fell in love with them from there on out.

but i also listen to a LOT more music including more post-hardcore, alt rock, nu-metal, and really almost anything 80s-2010s! you can check out my last.fm at https://last.fm/user/leefymoon to see all of the wonderful music i love.

ok sorry for all the rambles i have a case of the yaps today... :3

Thanks for your reply!

I've got a 4th gen iPod (Classic) and a 5th gen Video. I've owned the latter for a looooooong time.

I'm gonna give those artists you mentioned a listen. I've listened to a wee bit of Dave Matthews Band already, so anything else is a bonus!

I'm not a big music person but my coworkers demand music when they're in the office, so I've heard all kinds of stuff. Usually I will listen to music on long drives, if the option is available.

It's split between 80s hair band music, 90s dance music, and Mittsies.
