I listen to a lot of North Indian Classical Musical. If you're into tabla check out Anindo Chatterjee, and Sharda Sahai. Indian Classical music's structure is pretty great.
For a while I was listening to 'folk' music from all over the world, and amassed a small collection of GAMELAN music. It's cool sometimes, but not all of the time.
Right now I'm digging African music of the 'folkish' variety.
I've also listened to a lot of work by the four American Minimalists, as well as John Cage.
No point in fighting it, you are becoming that record store owner!

I haven't bought any yet, but I'm feeling me some Hi-life. Osore's friend Ocita has some great stuff I've heard him play. Part of what I like about Hi-life is that it's not too afro-funk-rare-cool-dj-friendly or anything like that. It's a total departure from the DJ realm, or what's hot or trendy in the collecting realm (as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong), and basically world's apart from anything that I normally listen to.

i like top40 and kost fm. i especially like the dj's on the lite rock channels cuz they have that laxative moufpiece that reminds me of being goofed up on nos at the dentist office
oh and i am a HUGE fan of airtalk with larry mantle on npr LA station. that dude knows a shit ton about LA. oh and adam carola show. thems my talk joints.
Despite not really following since high school, I still thoroughly enjoy thrash and death metal. I've recently been going back and checking for a lot of stuff from 1995 onward that I slept on once I really got into hip-hop and soul/funk/whatnot.
Oh, and I'm one of the big Iron Maiden riders here. They're not really a genre, but then again, they sorta are.

I'm not fool enough to say they should replace music, but they are nice in their place.

Yo, I posted this yesterday, but it flamed out...either way, it is an issue of reception. have a hard time getting WGBH Radio on my drive.
But, fuck a Car Talk. Hot garbage....
