Branching Out, Yo

I've been a little depressed with my iPod offerings over the past few days. Nothing is exciting me, currently. I mean, I can always go back to the essentials (Radiohead, Arcade Fire, etc...), but I want something a tad more world-shattering, at the moment. Lately, I've even been...turning on the radio.

But I'm a reactor. I did something about my dilemma. I decided that I simply needed more songs on my iPod. This group of 1500 songs was currently not working. I did my research, I looked at reviews and lists and Amazon/iTunes and came up with a simple, but plentiful list of albums I'd like to explore. They are:

Burial - Untrue (For the depressing artsiness)

Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam (For the whimsical!)

M.I.A. - Kala (For the Sri Lankan rap)

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief (For the - OMG WHERE HAS THIS ALBUM BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!)

Sufjan Steven - Illanoise (For the folksiness)

Thom Yorke - The Eraser (For the techno, solo Radioheadacity)

So the requests are in to the library. A few should came in the next few days. I'll update soon, maybe.
