You destroyed my brain! i spent like an hour (more) thinking about this while writing my essay (read: staring at a blank document) and now every half an hour i feel some sort of gravitational pull towards youtube. It's horrible and distracting and I BLAME YOU! D: So yes. I am completely opposed to sleeping with you, Meno.
Okay, so....
Spencer Krug. (full stop)
Okay i lie, there are more people but i adore him. i want to paint my walls with his musical brain babies. I don't think enough people appreciate the brilliance that is Sunset Rubdown. He's also part of Wolf Parade and Swan Lake (which sounds like a cross between Animal Collective and Sunset Rubdown) but they're nothing compared to Sunset Rubdown.
Jonsi. I prefer his work with Sigur Ros more than his solo album but either way he's a genius and oh my god *sigurroseargasm* (auditorygasm?)
Owen Pallett (aka Final Fantasy). Plays the violin, sings, makes weird screaming noises randomly... but still. Does awesome covers as well.
Patrick Wolf. Okay, not my absolute favourite but he's a pretty damn impressive musician. He can play more than 10 instruments (if i remember correctly), started off as a street performer, taught himself everything and he's an amazing live performer + Owen pallett did a few concerts with him.
Efrim Menuck from Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. So they're incredibly depressing bands and i know why it's not everyones cup of tea but somehow TSMZ has grown on me. I like how all his songs are about real things like war, death and basically the deterioration of society and the world because of modern day urbanization and war + random things like his dog dying.
Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent). Both her albums are great. i don't know what else to say. i love her?
Natasha Khan (aka Bat For Lashes). <3 (haha i'm getting lazy now)
Andrew Bird.
Maynard Keenan. I have a love/hate relationship with his music. oh well.
People from the past: Sam Cooke, Hendrix, Django Reinhardt
If Portishead was comprised of just one musician, i would have named them. Same with Massive Attack. Thom Yorke you've already mentioned. Bowie, Bowie, BowieBowieBowieBowie. I luurve Bowie (Ashes to ashes, funk to funky. We know Major Tom's a junkie!). Sufjan Stevens - YAY Greetings From Michigan. I think St Vincent also used to play in his stage band? Double awesomeness. Haven't heard much from Moby except for Play and 18 but they were both great. Beck's been around for ages and his music always seems...kinda fresh? He's still just as interesting = Talent.
I was lying before, i don't blame you, my work ethic is already atrocious
Also, good taste in music is a total turn on, so of course i'd sleep with you
