I think a part of the reason I'm drawn to Broadway is to have a story or a picture in my mind that the songs enrich - so outside of cast albums, I mostly listen to songs that were played in movies or in my favorite tv shows.

But I also love Nellie McKay, Phantom Planet, and all the old-timey jazz stuff.

I'm personally a big fan of jazzy swing stuff from the 40s-50s era, which is pretty unusual for an 18-year-old straight Asian guy. Some of my favourite artists include:

Frank Sinatra & The Rat Pack
Bobby Darin
Michael Buble
Matt Dusk

Death Cab For Cutie and Gatsby's American Dream are the only bands whos music I'd buy. The rest of my money goes to cast recordings.
