If You Like [X] Then You'll Like [Y]
Today, I'm taking a shortcut with a simple new music recommendation formula. Featuring new band recs based on Radiohead, Pavement, New Order, Lauryn Hill and more.
I was absolutely certain that I would be posting a deep dive this week into one of my favorite microgenres (I’ll keep it secret for now). It was going to be amazing — embedded music as far as the eye could see, lots of tangents, a bit of history, a few new music recs to tie it all together. You would have loved it, trust me.
Then I had to catch up on work over the weekend, and that isn’t conducive to writing at all.1
Long story short, I.O.U. one microgenre deep dive.
But I’m here with a consolation prize: a kind of elementary-level New Bands for Old Heads recommendation list. The Basic B of new music recommendations for the out of touch music lover, if you will.

Early on, I promised an “if you like X, then you’ll like Y” post formula, and then quickly proceeded to ignore that, because I like discourse.
That’s not fair to you, though. Lists are FUN, and reading is for suckers and miscreants wit…
