What are your favorite actual bands these days beside MP?

Man, Fillmore! Great to see someone else who's into Ryan Adams & The Cardinals!
I discovered Ryan Adams a few years ago, and I was so lucky that I got to see them three times this tour! They're absolutely fantastic live, he's one of (maybe THE) best songwriters alive, and the direction they've taken with the band this tour is so great! Long jams, different versions, and, as I said, great songwriting. Every MP-fan should check them out. The best way is to go to ryanadamsarchive.com and download one of the many SB-recordings from the recent tour. They're fantastic, and all I listen to these days.. (download London 30.09 or Luftwighschaften (or something like that) or Oslo (though the Oslo show is less of a jammer and more of a totally-jawdroppingly-unexpexted-setlist-show)) or just buy Cold Roses... My highest recomendations! How long have you been into him fillmore? Whats your favourite rec. and soforth..? Been dying to discuss him with some MP-fans..

my current are:

-tori amos
-set fire to flames!!!!!
-death cab for cutie

Ryan Adams is also a favourite of mine, and I also had the chance to see him this tour, sadly only once (initially, my friend and me wanted to see the whole spree of German-Dutch-Swedish-Norwegian-Danish concerts; it wasnt meant to be - and we almost missed the one concert we went to saw in Munich too).
But it was so worth it. It was so intense and great, almost surreal and unbelievable to be there. (Also, audiences in Munich are *very* polite & nice, which made the whole thing even better!)
But I surely would have wanted to go with alex fillmore to the Berlin concert. Next time, then - after some more MP & ITS tours. =)

I know him since a few years, and my favourite records are Love is Hell + Heartbreaker (for those who are interested).

Other favourites right now: my own band ( [url]http://www.myspace.com/ruhestoerung[/url] ), Laibach, Fuzzman (bassist of the great Naked Lunch; going on tour soon), Trentemøller, and well... [url=http://www.last.fm/user/michaeljtr/]see for yourself![/url]
