Today is 22nd April, so here is my nineteenth post for the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. This year I am sharing my musical tastes with you. I hope I can introduce you to some new bands/artistes, and if you'd like to comment perhaps you could introduce me to some of your favourite bands/artistes beginning with the appropriate letter of the day. For more music, please have a look at my last.fm profile.
Saul Williams

If I didn't have ex-boyfriends, I wouldn't have such a wide taste in music! Saul Williams is primarily a poet with a hip hop backdrop. Thankfully his lyrics are deep, rather than those of more famous hip-hop artistes. Live, he is crazy mental, but he pulls it off so well.
Honourable Mentions go to -
Sonic Boom Six - I first heard this band about 8ish years ago because an ex-boyfriend wanted to see them live. They were so different to most things around, with their ska/punk/rap sound. Wrap your ears around Northern Skies.
The Skints - Being friends with Sonic Boom Six, I was bound to really like this band. And guess what? I do. A drumming lead singer. A rapping guitarist. And a woman with a great taste in clothes who plays every other instrument and more. Yep, good combination. Wrap your ears around Sociopath.
Scroobius Pip (with Dan le Sac) - Spoken word poetry is awesome. Clever lyrics, English accent. Man with a beard. Wrap your ears around Beat That My Heart Skipped.
