I'm an adult, give me something that isn't for dumb kids please...

Like, I really dig this Australian group Wolf Mother. They were on some show live and I thought they were just the tops as Mel Torme used to say. It was heavy stuff though, like The Killers or Hives and all that, but it held onto my ears better.

Also I'm still drawn to The Magnetic Lines despite all expectations. The guy keeps hooking me.

I think people who like Fleetwood Mac would really be impressed with Sarah Harmer's CDs. I have yet to be disappointed with any of her releases.

I've tried Elliot Smith and Iron Wine on reccomendations and was very underwhlemed. I loved Gram Parsons and Byrds but most alt-country-grunge of the past dozen years strikes me as undistinguished. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'd rather put on some of the old '50s country & western and rockabilly stuff, or bluegrass.

There has to be more dope **** out there I'm missing out on, does anyone have a clue? Or should I be satisfied with Sufjan Stevens and The Be Good Tanyas?

Smelly Furtardo!!!!
