Request for Music

1. I want something that is not at all folky or hippy-ish and not metalish and not something that a dude wearing a headband of the us flag unironically would listen to.
2. Also, not something celebrating the singer's (should there be one) own ego.
3. Something emotionally moving, not "Hmm, this is a very interesting set of tones and textures. Well done, chap."

Give me the killer tunes in comments.

hmm, i can't seem to know about - much less listen to - anything from the 21st century. for me, the 6ths are contemporary with their dead.on recyclement of 80's syntho-pings (Wasps' Nests or something it's called).

lovesliescrushing- anything, but especially "Xuvetyn". It may be mostly wordless, but the tones and textures are worthy of more praise than just "well done, chap".

I find Mesh to have moving emotional content. And of course, VNV Nation.

And if you haven't heard Susumu Hirasawa or his band P-model (now going by Kaku P-model, I believe)... you must put the genius gorgeous in your ears.

It's late, I'm tired, I hope you don't mind looking them up. Linking sounds like work. x_x G'nite! =)

* gah, see?! too tired to put on the right icon. x_x

I suppose 'American Pie' or 'Born in the USA' or even 'Detroit Rock City' are out of the question.

how do you feel about trip-hop?

this song entrances me and I think it's very moving: Just so happens the video is amazing too

this song makes me smile: Pocketful of sunshine

this song is fun and fascinating: Mr Hurricane (this one you have to be patient with)

Test case:

How do you feel about KLF's Chill Out album, if you're familiar with it? I think it fills all your criteria, but I'm still skittish about what to send you. n.n;

I vote for team sleep, the emotions it stirs on me are more subtle and complex than the usual emotional tones of music, sentimentality, anger, sadness.

In a sense it reminds of the peculiar reality emotions take on in dreams.

I keep tripping over point 2 :) - I think I need to examine my recent musical motives!
