Dokumanju 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Been listening to too much Cocteau twins and it's depressing the heck out of me. Anybody got any good suggestions for new (or old, doesn't matter) music? Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 im listening to god speed you black emperor. if you want something upbeat and catchy i wouldnt suggest them. alot of their songs are over 12 minutes long...i think their songs are quite cathartic. if you like sigur ros, you will probably like god speed you black emperor.

scouser 4 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Just recently heard The Music. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Puffy - The girls'll cheer you up and put a smile on your face for sure Uncle Tupelo - Redneck music from Texis. Violins, banjos, fuzzy guitar solos, you know the deal. Maybe Zero 7 - Nice toons World Party - Good pop songs Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 just got back from 2 days boarding. had led zeppelin, jeff buckley, alanis morrisette, and deltron 0 (spl? - the rapper from gorrilaz) in my MD. Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Enderzero very kindly made me a CD of great music. Hes getting me back up to speed. See, I used to be cool but being in Japan with no radio no no info on new tunes has made me loose my hipness. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I downloaded a bunch of music recommended by enderzero, and um, promptly deleted it after a quick listen. Some smart lyrics in there, but I likes toons with my rap. J Rawls is good, and Cee-Lo. But it's great to get some suggestions about what to listen to, and spread your net a little wider. NoFakie's pointers are always worth checking out. Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 i agree with zwelgen-- enderzero's got good musical tastes. I've been listening to my new J5 cd constantly. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Nite Life Series by NRK DJ mix CDs of various styles (mainly deep house) that are very good on the whole. V.A. "The Biggest Dancehall Anthems 1979-82" 2002 Greensleeves compilation of killa reggae tunes from the days just before it all went digital. Good ska/dub/roots compilations are fairly common, but stuff like this is much harder to get hold of. Metro Area "Metro Area" Slightly 80s-sounding instrumental club tunes. Quite simplistic but very well done. Lateef/Lyrics Born "Latyrx" Unique leftfield hiphop album from Oakland duo back in 1997. Criminally underrated. Love "Forever Changes" Classic 60s psychedelia. Sgt Pepper meets Pet Sounds. Highly orchestrated and very melodic. My brother just went to see Arthur Lee live, which is why I mention it. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Listening to the traffic outside I am listening to most of the music from my ski porn films. Managed to download almost 200mb of them and am really stoked. Gotta say that Swollen Member have some pretty good songs. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Quote: Originally posted by scouser: Just recently heard The Music. i dont mind The Music. mind you, ive only heard two songs, "The people" and "take the long road and walk it" the guys voice is a tad bit whiney though.

enderzero 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Well I am honored to be thought of as having good musical taste. Ocean - I listen to everything so try out some of these groups I am into now and see if anything tickles your fancy. edge rock: Chevelle Audioslave Queens of the Stone Age Incubus Alien Ant Farm System of a Down mello guitar rock: Jack Johnson Ben Harper John Mayer Dave Matthews Band indy rock: Built To Spill Dashboard Confessional One Line Drawing / New End Original Long Since Forgotten Sunny Day Real Estate hip hop:(not previously mentioned) Rakim Mos Def / Talib Kweli / Black Star Common Ozomatli Gang Starr De La Soul anything by Dan the Automator This is just what's springing to my head right now. BTW bobby12 - the emmcee's name is Del the Funkee Homosapien. He is one of my favorite MCs and does all the rappin on the CD you are referring to called Deltron 3030 (produced by Automator with scratches by Kid Koala). This is one of the best hip hop LPs of all time IMHO. You might dig it Ocean as it is definitely not the average hip hop affair. Del also raps with the Hieroglyphics.

amandanism 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 i like all those indie bands you mentioned bar dashboard confessional. i love indie. indie is great. here are some more bands that arent strictly "indie" per se, but still very good: modest mouse hot hot heat sloan neutral milk hotel the constantines the weakerthans sahara hotnights black rebel motorcycle club the datsuns thursday wilco biffy clyro idlewild Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 On a hip hop note: if you like Automator, then I assume you LOVE the following: Doctor Octagon (album he did with Kool Keith, which I think is even better than Deltron3030 'cause Q-Bert's doing the scratching) Bombay The Hard Way ("brownsploitation" album he did) I just picked up "Bear Witness III" this weekend by Automator and Q-Bert And if you like J5: Blackalicious People under the Stairs Dilated Peoples World Famous Beat Junkies Link to post Share on other sites

DrEvil 0 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 My lady friend is a fan of the Pet Shop Boys (he says hesitantly). So right now their new disco remix cd is on. It's actually quite good (he says even more hesitantly). They're not very evil though. My own car currently has Sterophonics on it. Great stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
