I've actually never heard of Florence + The Machine. I'll have to look them up.

The cool thing about Linux is that it comes on a Live CD, so you can test it out on your computer and make sure it's right for you before you even install it. You should also be able to shrink the partition you have your main operating system on and install Linux on a new partition with the opened free space. From there you can use GRUB to dual boot between both OSes on the same computer. And believe me... it's easier than it sounds. I dual booted before I decided I didn't need Windows anymore.

I would like to use torrents more often, honestly, but the problem I have isn't viruses, it's seeders. Most torrents of music that I actually want either don't exist, or are so old and/or don't have any active seeders. I use filestube.com for my music and it's great at finding the bands I'm looking for. xD

I haven't heard of Sufjan Stevens either. I'll add them to my list and I'll check then out first thing I can tomorrow after I'm done with my classes.

And I totally know how that is. Up until I went off to college I was completely cut off from going to any concerts. I haven't really been to any latley though because I'm low on money as well. xD

Same here! My tastes change like the wind, but no matter where they go they always fall back onto The Album Leaf. They're er... him... Jimmy LaValle is just amazing. If you haven't heard of them I seriously suggest you check them out. The Album Leaf were... well, my gateway drug into Post Rock, as well as the major reason for my rehabilitation out of being a total metalhead. They have a really distinct Indie sound too, especially on their newest album, but for the most part they're Post Rock and their instrumental songs by far outnumber the ones with lyrics. Also, they consist of half of my username. xD
