The Bangus Ultimatum

So today I ended up listening to my sister’s Hale-infested playlist. It’s an indication that I might just be dangerously overscraping the bottom of the barrel. The problem with me is that although I’m willing to listen to new music (Lithuanian pop jazz? Sure!) I can’t be bothered to look for them myself. So unless someone actually gives me a title or the name of an artist – I’m stuck.

Last years’s musical discoveries included Postal Service, Arcade Fire, and Click 5. I’m willing to keep an open mind (even to Hale). Got any recommendations?

Note: I do use “that really bad thing”. I also fanatically buy all the albums of the artists I do like (and go to their concerts, and perform blood oaths of undying loyalty). So I guess things do balance out.
