I've been listening to Talk Talk's Laughing Stock a lot to calm my nerves (nerves calmed by recent events as of a few hours ago), but here's stuff that's a bit newer:
Bartok (not recent obviously but I've taken up piano, so I have a new interest in this)
Brittany Howard
Manni Dee (hardcore techno)
Solange Nightwave (techno)
Not surprisingly and perhaps sadly, I listen to mostly the "old" stuff that I first fell in love with in the 80s: Cabaret Voltaire, New Order pre-1986, Einsturzende Neubauten (still great), The Fall, Coil. One band I used to be obsessed with, though, that I really don't listen to at all is The Wedding Present. Don't know why, but I guess I grew out of the lovesickness?

Unless you¡¯ve done this one to death, I¡¯d be interested to know who everybody¡¯s favourite band is these days. I¡¯m loopy about The Lovely Eggs.
POM POKO - young Norwegians, quite DEERHOOFy; jerky and skronky but also melodic.
PADDY STEER - one-man-band sorta thing, bleeps and bloops over live drum kit;
old hippy in elaborate home-made masks,
from Manchester I think, looks to be good live
SNAPPED ANKLES - also bleepy bloopy but motorik, obvious influences but good (a bit like BEAK maybe but younger, less gloomy, more pep)
Speaking of obvious influences, this sounds strangely familiar...?
