I have become a fan of the 1930’s black quartet – The Inkspots. It’s a little weird because I shouldn’t really even know who they are. For some reason The Inkspots sound has become synonymous with post-apocalyptic yearnings for the Golden Age of America. According to Wikipedia it was the great classic Ridley Scott movie Blade Runner that first featured their music. More recently I had become familiar through gaming shooters like Bioshock and the trailers for the post-apocalyptic Fallout 3 (which I am hoping to get).

 

There’s something very evocative about wandering around in the burnt out shell of a city while "If I didn’t care" or "I don’t want to set the world on fire" plays in the background.

 

Anyhow – they have very unique vocal stylings and Yes, most of their songs do start out with the same guitar opening. If you want to listen to something radically different then what you’ve been listening to – look up The Inkspots. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are the background music to the return of Christ.
