Say Some Bands Wot You Like:

Just recently started downloading music and have found loads of new stuff and old stuff that was recommended to me. Soooo, recommend some stuff for people to look around, stuff that we might not have heard of before but which you think is good.

I'll start:

Travis Morrison
Yellow6
Stereolab
Bearsuit
Kill Kenada
Erase Errata
"Clowne Towne", Xiu Xiu

 

I agree with you on Stereo lab

Devendra Banhart rocks too:sunglasse

 

Someone else recommended Devendra Barnhart, actually, but could only find a little snippet of her stuff. Nice, but not my thing.

 

Devendra is a boy not a girl

 

Meh, I couldn't tell.

 

hmm yeh some of there stuff's ok

 

well let me see..we got..
lamb,
moist,
tom mcrae,
damien rice,
nick drake,
DAVID BOWIE
jeff buckley,
feeder,
i could go on.. but wont.

 

Haven't thought much to the last few Biffy tracks I've heard. Doesn't sound much like them.

I'll add the pAperchAse to this, just because. Excellent band from Texas, really vicious stuff.

 

some people who's albums i have bought recently that i love

the american analog set - soft keyboard based band, don't really
sound like anyone else, favourite tracks - "punk as fuck" "weather
report"

prefuse 73 - the most consistently great artist on warp in my opinion,
instrumental hip hop...glitch that doesnt end up
sounding like masturbation, good melodies (something thats often
missing on that label)
"storm returns" "one word extinguisher" "track 23"

esmerine - soft violin, marimba and xylophone based music, probably my favourite of the godspeed side projects, very relaxed...the occasional drums, but always at a level where they don't become the focal point...beautiful stuff
favourite track - "There were no footprints in the dust behind them..."

the shins - perfect happy (musically) music, great melodies, amazing harmonies...
"kissing the lipless" "new slang" " girl on the wing"

the new pornographers - more perfect happy music, 3 main songwriters and vocalists with really distinctive voices each makes for some amazing harmonies...(neko case, dan bejar from destroyer and carl newman from zumpano)
"mass romantic" "chump change" "to wild homes"

the stars of the lid - dont download, not really music to listen to on your computer, but perfect music to fall asleep to
album - "the tired sounds of the stars of the lid"

 

Radiohead

 

Nice choices! Stereolab I've seen many many times live and they are simply amazing... Bearsuit I saw earlier this year in Chichester and they're lovely cheeky wee things they really are

 

Aye, it's pretty old skool now but their "music for twin peaks episode #30" is one of the most joyous pieces of sound ever committed to vinyl

And I suppose in that vein how can we do without Mogwai?
Some others...
Grandaddy
Bonnie Prince Billy
Jeffrey Lewis
Low
Melt-Banana
The Delgados
Yo La Tengo
Herman Dune

 

Jane's Addiction
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Get "Sonic Nurse" too, it's not shit as the reviews make out. very good in a new Sonic Youth way.

Milemarker
Boards Of Canada
Minus The Bear
caPn Jazz, American Football, Joan of Arc, Owls, etc

 

LEVELLERS!

Just a handful off the top of me 'ead...

 

I fancied going to see John Mayall on this tour, I think it was Mick Taylor tagging along with him. But I had to work. Jim's list made me think of it. Uh anyway...


Recently - Aphex Twin, The Orb, Brian Eno, Tribe Called Quest, Jurassic 5 and Kruder and Dorfmeister. Batch of new CD's from my brother-in-law, but they're fitting my tired/stoned mood very well.


Some others - The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, The Smiths, Orbital, Sigur Ros, Portishead.

 

Bruce Springsteen/E Street Band
Richard Thompson
Dire Straits
Eric Clapton's current band
Cream
Derek & The Dominos
Limozeen
Early Beatles, before they started all that psychdelic stuff and not touring...
Bonnie Raitt - tore up the stage at Glastonbury
Bill Bailey - "I used to buy my chips from an oppressive chipshop regime"
The Bluesbreakers - especially when Buddy Whittington is on guitar duties. WW...

 

HEy dude.. hows you???

I should hopefully be catching up with Mr Mayall once he gets down this end of the country.. Fingers crossed!!

bands I like!!

BAd company
BAd company
Bad Company
