There's a TL,DR spot you can start at towards the end if you're really in THAT much of a hurry.

So, first off, hi. I have arrived (or rather, returned) with the onslaught of "old-regulars-temporary-lurkers-turned-regulars-again" upon news of a new MK coming very skoon (I had to sneak the obligatory "K" in there somewhere, and I wanted to surprise people. Ya know, keep people on their toes, not go for the obvious, cheap-and-easy win). I haven't been here, at least not consistently, in a very long time. This is my first thread in a while.

Now to the point. I have been plagued with an issue I'm guessing (or maybe hoping) all of you have been plagued with in the past.

I am in desperate need of new music.

Now, instead of starting a thread asking for people to give ME new music, which would be rather boring, I have decided to create a thread specifically designed to give new music to ANYONE who is desperately searching for a way out of the "same-old-music-hurts-my-brain" wasteland.

One thing I'm sure many of the people stuck in said wasteland understand is that we are not simply looking for any kind of music we have not heard before. Sure, sometimes that's really great and all, but other times we just want something new that still suits our basic tastes. And I think we can all agree that the Spotify/iTunes suggestions are pretty off-base when it comes to similarity with an artist you enjoy. "You like Tears for Fears? That must mean you want 80's hits!! Forget about the core aesthetics of Tears for Fears' music, you just LOVE 80's hits!!"


TL,DR SPOT (for you busy folks who are in a hurry, of course).

I have a point here. I'm trying to say this is not just a "post music you like that others might" thread. There are SOME rules.

If you are looking for new music that you want to be somewhat similar in style to the music you already love, then you must explain (as clearly as possible) what exactly it is that you love about your current selection. Then, if some kind soul stumbles upon your post and says "I have a song that this forum user might just love, based on their current music tastes!" They should go ahead and post that song!

If you want something entirely new, crazy, amazing, mind blowing that you have never heard before, or similarly, if you want to flirt with a musical genre you usually don't care for, you can ask for that too! Then, ya know, kind soul, stumbles upon post, links you to song. It'll be lovely.

To prevent this post from being any longer, I'll hold off on my musical tastes for now. It's probably better to see what other members think of this idea before I start bumping my own thread, anyway.

Thanks,
