I am musically restless. It's been going on for a few weeks. The only thing I can work to right now is BEP, and I'm getting sick of it. When I listen to the iPod in the car, I skip through nearly every song, and the only one I've heard the end of in weeks is something from Stevie Wonder.
I picked up BEP in early 2006, I've been enjoying Juanes's Mi Sangre, and that's all the new music in my life. Unless you count Music Together, which I don't.
In college and shortly thereafter, I was always learning about new performers because I was going to concerts a lot. I'd see the opener, or talk to other people in the audience about their favorite music, so new stuff was always popping up on the radar. I haven't been to a complete show in almost 2 years now. I didn't think I'd miss it.
And the radio is so stale. I don't mind listening to it, but there's so rarely anything on I'd like enough to buy an entire CD of. I'm even tired of my favorite radio station, and I never thought that was possible.
I need some recommendations. I'm thinking I need something heavier, something with a driving beat, but something that's fairly cheerful (or at least, not depressing). I've been through the mellow music phase, and I don't feel now like I did then. I need something to get my blood going, to get me bopping in the car while I'm driving, to get me focused on the work that I tend to have at hand.
Any suggestions?

I feel your pain!! It's horrible when you can't find anything good to listen to!
When I need something with a beat that'll wake me up and get me out of my daze, I listen to reggaeton. Keep in mind, my Spanish is minimal -- so I only catch like every 5th word.
BUT, the beat + the rhthym of the words gets me going. I wish I could recommend a group by name...but the cd I have doesn't have the song info on it.
Hope that helps!
