Question
Dear Katie : I've just heard the song "Bohemian Like You" by The Dandy Warhols & absolutely love it. I think its so phenomenally upbeat and the lyrics are incredibly funny, I also checked out the video on You Tube. My question is : Could you recommend 10 odd similar songs, in the "rockish" category, which are similar to this?
Also, this is my first time, so I am not sure - do i visit here again and search for my question and your answer, or does it get mailed to my email?
Really appreciate your help!

The Dandy Warhols are great, I can't particularly name songs that I know you would like, it's hard to reccomend. They perform the theme song for 'Veronica Mars' so I could suggest checking out the soundtrack from the show. Bohemian Like You is hard to catagorize, You may want to check out 'The City Drive', 'Nude', and 'Snow Patrol'. They are rock bands but they also each have thier own unique sound that you may like.
As for your other question, the answer will be in your e-mail inbox, as I'm sure you see now.
Sorry for the delayed reponse, my dog just recently died so I was preoccupied.
