Katherine has inspired me to listen to some entirely new styles of music this week. I thought I was pretty familiar with most of the popular genres, but this stuff is completely new music to me. Lots of the underground stuff from the Bay Area especially.
It started when we were at her place, talking about the vampire novel and some of the artists that were referenced there that I’d never heard. Luka Bloom was one of them. Anyway, once that came up, Katherine mentioned that she has a whole library of obscure stuff that she’s collected. Since she does the online magazine, she gets a lot of demo stuff all the time. Some really amazing songs and outstanding talent out there and I’d never heard of any of it. Really opening up my ears.
