I think I’m going to have to join the ranks of the random offended Pisceans, because I am one (a Piscean, that is)…

And I’m a music critic. And a chamber choir member. And a piano player. And I’ve been known to compose a tune or two.

Pisces sun, Gemini moon, and four Capricorns in my system are probably what makes me an A&E critic to begin with, but I don’t really listen to heavy metal, trendy music, or just the first third. And New Age has a tendency to bore the crud out of me unless it’s done “differently”.

What I can’t quite get my still-beating heart quite out of is winter wonderland acoustic indie rock generally played by people in the Northern European area. Kings of Convenience. The Mary Onettes.

The Fleet Foxes aren’t non-American, I think, but I love me some of that sound. The watery, emotional, Piscean side of me, perhaps. Anything that sounds like magic, and tinged with a bit of frostbite melancholia.

I also love old world sounding stuff (Cancer ascendant, sigh) like Beirut. The accordian and the gypsy-harmonics get me every time.

OH, and of course there has to be good lyrics. No excellent words/story/lines? No dice. (Oh, Gemini.)

That said, I have very few favorite bands. Hmm, chances are my tastes in music might be fickle due to strong mutable signs and a good dose of CRAZY from my Mercury Aquarius? … Hmm.

I have 2 A & J albums, but shamefully, woefully haven’t gotten around to listening to them properly. Perhaps I should get the car stereo fixed.

Leonard is a Virgo!!??

Über, do you have any Antony & the Johnsons albums? I’m a huge fan of his. Amazing voice. ‘If It Be Your Will’ still gives me goosebumps every time.

Very cool that you have same birthday as Elvis. Love that some of my fave artists are Virgos – Elvis, Nick Cave, Leonard. Although Nick Drake was a Gem, moon & mars in Virgo.

William Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy is his moniker) is one to check out of you like alt folk. I’m obsessed with him. He’s like an American Nick Drake. Love his voice and his lyrics are poetry.

Teddy Thompson – the 2 songs he does will probably wear out before i am finished listening to them…..
And Antony does an amazing version of “IIBYW”, it too is on loop, and Rufus’ version of Chelsea Hotel makes me want to be on that unmade bed too!
