In order...
@Janszoon: Believe it or not, not so much. Slint is pretty good (and of course, incredibly influential) but not really loving his solo stuff.
@morgos: I would definitely check out The Black Keys. So far I only have "Brothers" and one song off of a compilation, but I will soon be buying more.
@Conan: I'm from the good ol' city of Louevil.
@s_k: Well I got tired of "Blarg" as a screen name because half the time people were like, "SO DO U LIKE RED VS BLUE LOL." Still not entirely sure why, as I only have a vague idea what Red Vs. Blue is. But anyway.
@Hank The Drifter: Yeah, I'm definitely looking for some musical expansions. Always am. And I'm not a big bluegrass fan myself, but I tolerate and occasionally enjoy country.
