Hello, friends, and welcome to the Land of Conan's music page!
This page is, simply enough, a list of the musicians and bands that I like to listen to; the ones that excite and inspire me. Some of them I like for purely sentimental reasons--for whom they remind me of, or for what they represent to me. Some of them I love because they are fun to listen to. And a couple of them are friends of mine or friends of my friends. I live near Boston (when I'm not at college), which probably has the largest and greatest folk scene of any city in the United States, so some of these artists are local Boston musicians. I'm also interested in trading boots of shows or interviews by any of the following artists (especially The Nields or Ani DiFranco); you can check out my ever-growing collection here.
