I have ten quid on itunes and no inspiration (can't be arsed raking through hundreds of music clips). What should I get? I generally listen to metal, but point me towards anything… something new or something old – I dont care…

STS.

Anything country.

Good starting point for ya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AINUPFbFpqg

Gold

Daisy – I've corrected that mistake for you :

Anything BUT country

10 random tunes you might like (or might not):

julian cope – world shut your mouth
toots & the maytals – pressure drop
mudhoney – halloween
bob dylan – idiot wind
aphex twin – on
black angels – young men dead
spacemen 3 – take me to the other side
eat static – gulf breeze
bruce springsteen – mrs.mcgrath
justin sullivan – ocean rising

I should also have specified – ABSOLUTELY NO COUNTRY!

You don't know what you're missing, really you don't 😀 It's not all Kenny Rogers and Dolly you know….

Ive said it before:

Russian Circles (although if you listen to metal then you've probably heard of them)

The new four tet album is also pretty good

great shouts yossarian…

and get some Johnny Cash.

Following on from the Copey recommendation above:

Brain Donor – Love Peace & F u c k

Also:

Orthodox – Gran Poder
Vibravoid – The Politics of Ecstasy
Heads – Under the Stress of a Headlong Dive
Wooden Shjips – s/t

are all worth a look (as are their other releases) and should be okay for a metalhead to enjoy 🙂

Oh yeah, I'm enjoying Dungen a lot at the moment too.

Buy the xx album.

with the change, the Ou Est Le Swimming Pool? EP, or some 2 Door Cinema Club.

Hmmm – Russian Circles is good – but not sure. None of the others floating my boat yet… keep suggestions coming…

On a serious note…

The Duke and The King – Nothing Gold can Stay.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Country, as long as its got a bit of a Skeewiff remix on it 😉

One of my favs at the moment:

DELTA DAWN

I've just found out about [urlwww.last.fm/]last fm[/url]
free – give it a try – enter the name of someone you like, then hit the fast forward button and see what comes up next. Or just try some of the suggestions from above, and again a few few forward clickys and see what happens

White Lies……brilliant!

If you haven't heard it already: Mastodon – Crack the Skye

It's a brilliant, brilliant album. Really big sound, heavy as anything and just generally fantastic. In fact I think I might put it on now.

What about some ISIS?

Crystal Antlers, their album is pretty good

I just had a look for this and can't find this album, are you sure that's right? I'd like some recommendations for ISIS albums as I've struggled to get into their stuff before. I think I have Wavering Radiant at the moment.

Tallahasse (album)- by the mountain goats

New Massive attack album is getting some thrash by me at the moment

the gaslight anthem

Sorry, badly worded by me. Crystal Antlers are a band, their album is called Tantacles and iotsd pretty good.

ISIS albums that I like are Celestial and Oceanic, not sure about Wavering Radiant, its a bit hit n miss

biffy clyro's new album- top quality stuff!! (they are also socttish 😆 )

THEM CROOKED VULTURES

Awesome, thanks. I'll give one of those two a go then. Might explain why I struggled a bit with Wavering Radiant 🙂

Midlake – The Trials of Van Occupanther on heavy rotation on my ipod at the moment, with their new album due this month.

Mastodon! Has already been mentioned I know, but if you have Crack the Skye go for Leviathan. Awesome.

Mastodon – hmmm – for me they are a nearly but not quite. Quite like the kind of album that tells a story though. Biffy Clyro – nope (even though they are Scottish).

Blimey – I am difficult to please aren't I?

I am difficult to please aren't I?

or beyond help… 🙂

HeathenWoods – takes one to know one!

British Sea Power – Do you like rock music?

British Sea Power

= boring. Strum strum strum, blah blah blah… god I am bored just thinking about it.

Do you like rock music?

yes – that is why I am NOT going to buy British Sea Power. I'd rather listen to the sound of paint drying.

OK – lets try a different tack – what about classic rock/metal (e.g. old stuff/proper music)?

What about

Big Black
Husker Du
Drive like Jehu
Don Caballero

The Mars Volta :if you have not heard them be prepared for some serious listening.

HeathenWoods – takes one to know one!

Heh. Guilty.

OK – lets try a different tack – what about classic rock/metal

hawkwind – Space Ritual

Plan B
Bon Iver
Skepta
JME
System of a down
rage against the machine

if your not wanting to ride like a nutter or party like a animal after that then something is wrong

Heathen – oddly, I seem to have pretty much the entire Hawkwind backcatalogue already. I have no idea where the hell it came from though.

PlumzRichard – I've got all the rage against the machine stuff – have done for years, as with SOAD, but I'll have a look at the other suggestions…

Sputnik – The Mars Volta aren't very good really.

Am currently thinking that the new Rammstein album might be worth a go (since I've got all the rest). Or am thinking about some of the old Anvil stuff – classic!

Sonic Youth. Plenty out there, but perhaps the holy triumverate of Evol, Sister and Daydream Nation. Not metal though, more experimental rock.

DJ Andy Smith….plenty of free downloads! 😉
