What artist/band are you listening to the most right now? How did you discover him/her/them?
hmmm. Well, Toni Childs is in my CD player in my car. She hasn't put out a new album in a long time, but I discovered her through the NSEX. Others that I've been listening to: The Virgins (saw them open for She Wants Revenge), Peter Gabriel (nuff said), Tegan and Sara (discovered through a friend), A Perfect Circle (love Tool, so why not love APC), The Pixies (I have no idea who introduced me to them).
I've had this in my head all day and was inspired by this post to use it as the today's lod...
Betty always knows.
Betty always tells.
She's laughing desperately.
She said it felt like a river
Inside her bones
When she went down to the river.
Gonna be with her.
She's gonna take me there.
Lead me by my hand
Her body a rocking chair for my soul.
I can hardly wait.
Baby
I can hardly wait.
Til we go down to the well.

Really not going with the obvious artist. I'd rather go with what I listened to all day yesterday.
With your feet in the air
And your head on the ground,
Try this trick and spin it
Yeah.
Your head will collapse,
But there's nothing in it
And you ask yourself -
Where is my mind?
- Pixies, "Where Is My Mind"
I love the Pixies.
Sitting here wishing
On a cement floor.
Just wishing I had just something you wore.
I put it on when I grow lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissing
and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead.
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet
And send it to me.
I miss your soup
and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead.
So spill your breakfast
and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine.
