Indeed, I used to know a guy who was always playing old punk, that was quite enjoyable, might see about getting some.

did you ever move from nu metal to have a listen to metal core? I love bands like Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Vallentine etc.. you should give them a try.

Radio 6. Go. Now.

Theres absolutely loads of great modern music, its all about where you look - and how actively you seek it out.

last.fm random play. seriously.

i also started listening to more noise and grindcore recently. its pretty addictive lol.
