You've stumbled upon The Tonic Tone, my latest attempt at a blog. The Tonic Tone will focus on music, some that you've heard before, some that you have not. This blog exists not only to inform you of music you may not have heard of, but to get your input as well. I am always looking for new bands, artists, or even whole new genres of music to delve into. First off, a little background on my personal musical tastes. The best word to describe my taste in music: Eclectic. A few of my numerous favorite bands and artists include Nine Inch Nails, Less Than Jake, Aerosmith, Burial, Tool, Weezer, Llorca, the list goes on and on. I will expand upon a few of my favorites later. Suffice to say, I like a little bit of everything. Not to say that I don't favor certain genres over others, but pretty much everything floats with two important exceptions: Rap/Hip-hop* and Country. Those are two kinds of music I could never listen to without cringing. So, that will be the topic of this first post. Help me find Rap/Hip-Hop* or Country I might like. Recently I have come across and been listening to Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor, and can honestly say I enjoy it. More music in that direction would be much appriciated. If you have any suggestions please comment with them, I'll investigate and report back in my next post.
That's it for this intro post, more to come later.
*Also, if anyone could explain the difference between Rap and Hip-hop, that would be great, and perhaps even help me appriciate the genres themselves.

get Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, his sophomore album. its different and i personally enjoyed Food and Liquor better but it's still very solid. Also, if you like F&L, and want to explore rap in that direction, I highly recommend Rising Tied by Fort Minor, Finding Forever by common, maybe Ear Drum by Talib Kweli. They all have catchy beats and lyrics that tend to stray away from the stereotypical image rap gets in general.
