Currently listening to:
Seth lakemen
Wintersleep
Morcheeba
Dropkick Murphys
Metallica
John Butler trio

Recommend me something else otherwise I’ll wear these out!

Grizzly Bear

I have really got into Rev Hammer again recently, like a more rock n roll Seth Lakeman. If you like the chaos of DKM, try Gogol Bordello – especially Super Taranta.

Frightened Rabbit – midnight organ fight

MC Rut

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prwWpwDGyeM&feature=related

(not rap despite the “MC” moniker which actually stands for “Middle Class” Rut)

The Thermals

Foxboro Hottubs

The Decks

the answer, that supported ac dc might be worth a listen

Empire of the Sun,
First 4 tracks are Genius then it goes off kilter but picks up again towards the end.

I always recommend a bit of Steve Earle, and some Alabama 3. No idea whether you’d like ’em though. 😀

Bridge and Tunnel. from New York. my band played a gig with them in manchester last night; best band i’ve seen in years. seriously amazing; talented musicians and really nice people. and they’re all into bikes too- rachel (the girl that plays guitar and sings) also has her own company making messenger bags (vaya bags)…

anyway, here:

Eels

ere, do you lot make these bands up or what…….. 😉

The Aliens – Astronomy for Dogs.
Haven’t met anyone yet who doesn’t like it :-).

It’s the Beta Band without Steve Mason, so the mood is a bit lighter – still pure class though.

Amada Palmer: Who Killed Amanda Palmer

and Martha Wainwright: I know you’re married but Ive got Feelings too

my finds of the year. Both on spotify.

anything by Wilco

really getting into them at the moment

Bat for lashes… animal collective… pantha du prince

Give those a shot 🙂

repatriot: WEmpire of the Sun’s Walking on a Dream “always pushing up a hill searching for the thrill of it”, that’s a classic song for a bike film.

If you like Seth try “Show of Hands” fantastic easy folk music

But honest lyrics try this

Air- Moon Safari 🙂

😆 Del is it true your favorite track is sexy boy?? 😆

The Derek Trucks Band – Already Free

Susan Tedeschi – Back to the River

The new Doves album’s bloody great. As is the new Camera Obscura album if you’re into perfect pop lovliness.

jim white

Second Camera Obscura. How about Andrew Bird, Asobi Seksu, Metric, The Dears, The Acorn, Black Mountain, Wolf Parade, School of Seven Bells, Howling Bells, Gemma Hayes, The New Pornographers, The Submarines, The Stills, The Shins, Stars, The Wailin’ Jennies, Fleet Foxes, Kris Delmhorst, Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin, Joan As Police Woman, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Death Cab For Cutie.
There, that little lot ought to keep you occupied for a little while. I have albums by all of the above, and I’ve seen most live as well, and every one is a truly quality act. I don’t listen to rubbish. 😉

Andy – that’s not the Del you’re thinking of. sorry. 🙂

Just thought of a couple more, The Joy Formidable and Mechanical Bride. Oh, and Thea Gilmore. Then there’s Elle Edmonson…

I was about to recommend the Joy Formidable –
also PJ Harvey latest
also second the recommends for Bat for Lashes and especially for Metric
also School of Seven Bells

The Decemberists, Band of horses, the beautiful girls.

You should definitely check out John Frusciante..”The will to death” “The past recedes” “Dark/Light” are my favourite..
I like the John Butler Trio too, first heard Earthbound Child on the Collective..
🙂

I second Band of horses! **** awesome they are.

U lot!

look at da post title – it say “new stuff”

me guessing dat sheldona nevva hurd ov any ov dese guys listed below – dey will all be “new” to him:

beethoven
mozart
handel
schubert
bach
chopin
schumann
telemann
grieg
elgar
britten

check dem out man – dey might just be “new” 2 U!!!

Eldridge, read his post and look at the list of people sheldona’s listening to. Do any of those artists actually look like they might be writing symphonies. No, I didn’t think so. Every one of those composers is familiar to me, I even have recorded works by a number of them, and I’m sure that sheldona is old enough to have heard of most as well. Go and troll somewhere else, there’s a good boy, I think it’s past your bedtime.

Engelbert Humperdinck
“Quando, Quando..”

Soulfly – Conquer

Hello CountZero

appropriate name!

look at the list of people sheldona’s listening to

Actually, old boy, if YOU read his post properly you’ll find he asks for

something else

So (DURRRR – that’s a reference to The Simpsons) recommending something like he’s already listening to is not a helpful response

and he may be

old enough to have heard of most as well

but that doesn’t mean he’s been adventurous enough to listen to them, does it now?

Not impressed by your claim:

I even have recorded works by a number of them

Most of the people I know have CDs (“recorded works” LOL!) by all of them – often multiple versions by different orchestras/conductors/soloists

Welcome to the world of middle class, educated people with musical tastes which extend beyond the popular

Go and expose your proletarian education somewhere else, there’s a good boy. I think this topic has gone beyond your intellectual capacity.

😉

I would recommend:

The King Blues, Cara Dillon, Flobots, Emiliana Torrini, Alela Diane, Martin Simson (amazing fingerstlye guitarist), bellowhead, & Bella Hardy

‘Tis mostly folky type stuff

Jane’s Addiction.

This ‘best of’ is a good introduction if you’ve not listened to them before

Thanks for the recommendations guys I’ll look into most of them.

And just for the record Eldridge I hate Classical and believe it or not I have heard of all those dead folk
