Wowow. You lot take things vurr literally.
I mean that I co-opt a new genre about twice a year. Something I was never into before, that I crave irresistibly for a few months to the point that others get drowned out and forgotten. Right now I'm half and half between post-rock and dubstep/drum&bass (but I think that's sliding quickly into the ether; there's too much mediocrity in the genre that I don't have the motivation to sort through).
I have no issues genre-jumping between songs :3. Just that I'm never on an even keel, listening to each evenly.

Favorites are... well, pretty mainstream in their respective genres, save for a few. Placebo, 65daysofstatic, God is an Astronaut, Dirtyphonics, Saetia, Collapse Under the Empire, Elliott Smith (only XO), Sufjan Stevens (only Seven Swans), leftmore, Death Cab (can't halps it), mewithoutYou, Windir (I had this huuuge metal phase for a while and this is the only band that's made it past), Neutral Milk Hotel, Death From Above 1979, The Gits. I think I'm about to shift into a Portishead/Trash Palace/Sneaker Pimps era for a while.
Fully aware that 99% of people will think my tastes are ****e <3. No need for a "lolol you are fail" or any such.

TL;DR some good bands and some ****e ones. Post-rock is favored. Trip-hop may be next.
