1:23AM - Let the Music Speak

I've been falling behind the times with my music listening. Trying to branch out, listen to new things, broaden my horizons as it were.

I'm listening to some X Japan currently, Visual Kei is the style. Interesting Metal and Power Ballads with a Glam Rock style.
I'm enjoying it. (Saw them in the Doc - Global Metal.)

What are you listening to that I should try out? What's good? What new indie bands are out there? New styles of music?

Current mood: pensive
