I don't take offense to that idea since I like Trollheart and a lot of the music he likes, but it's not exactly accurate either.
Should I bother listing all of the stuff I like that probably doesn't fit your perception of me? Nah.
But here's a few things about that blind spot you say I have for alt/post-punk.
1) My brother is into
Sonic Youth,
At The Drive In and other bands more or less in that direction, so I'm not exactly a stranger to music in this direction. We used to borrow albums from each other and I've borrowed
Sonic Youth and
Mars Volta albums from him before.
2) I used to own a Sonic Youth CD. Think it was
EVOL. Might have been
Dirty. Got rid of it eventually since I wasn't too into it, but I had it for a while.
3) Used to watch tonnes of music documentaries. Pretty sure I've watched some on punk, post-punk, new wave... other stuff in that vague area.
4) Checking out new music all the time - rock music included. PJ Harvey, btw, of whom I'm a big fan, sounds pretty much like your sort of thing. Shannon Wright as well.
5) EDIT: I forgot that I love a group called Doughnuts. Post-punk or something? Sounds like it to me - at least partially. Whatever it is, it rocks.
Their follow up album is solid too.
If I have a big musical blind spot, it's hip hop. And probably also jazz that isn't vocal centered and poppy.
