You know when someone tells you that they've got eccentric taste in music, and it's because they like Kings of Leon and Pendulum? Yeah, I hate that.
I also dislike it when people assume I won't like something. I know a lot of the stuff I regularly listen to is pretty heavy, but not exclusively so. One of my friends has a habit of saying, "Oh, I've been listening to so-and-so recently; you probably wouldn't like them ..." What? Why? Grrr.
Anyway, I like to think I am open-minded to any new music I don't know, but that doesn't mean I'm going to search out the most, I don't know, un-me song I can think of for this category; I'm just going to post a song I love which is of a different genre to the stuff I've selected so far. Here's something that fits more with country or acoustic singer-songwritery stuff than anything punk or rock.
This is Jason Molina, who writes mostly solo stuff, often quite slow and haunting, in his other guise with a band as Magnolia Electric Company. It's a really brilliant album and despite the music it's his voice which ties it all together. He has about a million different records so you can't go wrong, really, but this one is full of heartfelt country/folk which sounds amazing on vinyl and about 30 years behind its time.
(PS - I like Kings of Leon but I don't like Pendulum. Because they're gash.)
