I'm really too old to pay a lot of attention to contemporary music. I hear things I like but I tend to forget it. MGMT? Toxic Waste? some European electronic stuff
other stuff: Carter/Madhu World Music, Cajun, old gospel, Parody - Ruttles, Folksmen, Spinal Tap
I think my taste is perfectly normal ;-)
