who among us does not procrastinate

so, i've been downloading a lot of music. this isn't really in the way of recommendations, more like a does anyone listen to these following artists query.

i love the entire wainwright family. aside from rufus, his dad loudon (who everyone in the family hates, or has had some grudge against, apparently, considering that his daughter wrote a song about him called bloody motherfucking asshole) is this great folk singer, as are his aunt and mother the mcgarrigle sisters, and his aforementioned sister martha is great, as well as his aunt sloan wainwright. the genes in this family astound me. i was not half so lucky.

also, i'm a little late with this, but i LOVE yo-yo ma.

and MICHAEL!!! do you listen to puffy amiyumi? probably not, but they're so much fun. my vision of japan is packaged via puffy amiyumi.

for andrei and other electronica lovers, check out aphex twin, they're definitely something a little different.

and sarah! i love the new pornographers. they make me so happy. well, happier. i don't know why, but i feel like at some point you recommended them. i could be making this up.

also, antony and the johnsons. i like them. they did a song with rufus, which is how i ran across them.

the dirty dancing havana nights soundtrack is mindless, terrible fun.

and someone, please, start listening to opera. i love callas, i like renee fleming, and i adore placido domingo. seriously. get to it.
