"Fat fingered typists"? Haha, not sure what that means, am I making a lot of typos that I missed?
As far as the instruments I'm into, I like anything with a guitar in it, but it's not a necessity(in this case). I'm really into the sound of the piano and horns though.
For bands that I already like... I really can't think of much in that genre. Honestly, have you ever heard The Seatbelts from Cowboy Bebop? It's kinda sad, but that was my first good experience with Jazz or anything of the sort. I've been to a jazz bar a time or two, after that, and really liked the atmosphere.
I have heard many bands that I liked, but you know how when your first getting into a band or genre and everything kinda blends together? Yeah, it's kinda like that....
