[Closed] What's floating yer boat, music wise?

Very much [url= http://www.ukuleleorchestra.com/main/home.aspx ]these[/url] chaps at the moment.

Their versions of [url=

theme from Shaft[/url] and [url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLQ2eh5LfZY&feature=related ]Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit[/url] are fantastic.

Off to see them on the 4th July.

Seen them live in Milton Keynes, great night out. 🙂

Well pretty much all of my CDs are in storage right now, and all I am rinsing on my car stereo is Sacha (Global Underground compilation), a best of the Hacienda compilation, and a Best of the New Wave which is an early 80s compilation I bought at a service station a few weeks ago. Very good mind if you were at school at the time.

slowly your beauty is eaten away, by the scent of someone else in the blanket where we lay . . . .

David Lewis Gedge

SR - Is that the Hacienda compilation that comes in a yellow and black striped case? Bloody good that one.

I've also dug out a CD I've had a while by a DJ called Karim, off to see him and some others at a 'classics' night at Storm in Coalville on Saturday night. Hopefully the fact I work nights now will assist my aging body in its attempt to dance all night.

Yep - that's the one! Got it for something like £7 some months ago. Nowadays all you can find is Rave compilations but this one seemed to hit the spot with loads of class tunes.

I used to go to Kool Kat in Nottingham. Graham Park DJ'ed there on a Friday and then Hacienda on a Saturday - awesome raving days - 88 - 93/94ish.

I am rediscovering my love of Jazz at the moment I have 3 Miles Davis albums playing randomly on my in cab MP3

Miles Ahead, Kind of Blue and Seven steps to heaven. Man that guy was a genius

Major Lazer "Guns don't kill people, lasers do"

Are you guys talkin bout Karim the hard house dj? As in, the guy who used to be on Tinrib's label?

The Shins

SR - My brother in law used to be Graham Park's driver/box bitch many years back.

My clubbing journey started in London scene. Frankie Knuckles and David Morales at the Gas Club, Jon 'The Pleased' Women at Velvet Underground, Legends in Old Burlington Street, Clockwork Orange, ahh, those were the days.

Its not the same these days.....

😉

Well, in my electronica playlist a couple of songs keep croping up, of course this changes almost daily

White flash - modeselektor
fractals - john tejada

got some minimal techno and dubstep tunes that are hitting the spot at the moment too

Let's all go raving tonight! 😀

Still being knocked out by The Joy Formidable. Beautiful lovely wall of noise.

just listening to sander van doorn mix

uni tunes - b-cult

i'm on an old school emo fest these days;
moss icon
indian summer
embassy
lincoln
native nod
the hated

all big influences on my own band, which none of you can hear as we've not got anything on the 'net (well, we have but it's not for public consumption yet)...

emo shouldnt be allowed on the net! wahah

actually, i dont think i have a single emo tune in my collection, so recommend me a song to try

yeah yeah yeahs

I like ...
Band of Horses
Grandaddy
Built to Spill

on my play list today.

The new Hospital Records comp, [url= http://www.juno.co.uk/products/Sick-Music/357904-02/ ]Sick Music[/url], is pretty...well...sick! Especially the Burial-esque Empty Streets by Cyntific.

Catshoe, going to see Joy Formidable in October, can't wait.

Marky Ramone

Animal collective, grizzley bear, laura veirs, the national, okerville river are all relatively recent finds for me.

The Joy Formidable here, too, and The Shins. Love both of those bands. Just been listening to a Curve cd, Radio Sessions, which is damn good, and now listening to cd2 of Dark Was The Night, a Red Hot compilation, which has a load of fabulous music on it, including Arcade Fire, Blonde Redhead, The New Pornographers, Spoon, David Byrne, Kronos Quartet, Andrew Bird and loads of other great artists, a lot from Canada. A must-have collection.
Who else: Metric, The Acorn, Emma Pollock, Cortney Tidwell, School Of Seven Bells, Florence And The Machine, Lisa Hannigan, Burial, Deadmau5, Howling Bells, Wolf Parade...
I could go on. And on. And on. And on. And on.
But I won't. 8)

Fleet foxes.
You lot above are all showing off, with groups (singers) I've never heard of!

emo shouldnt be allowed on the net! wahah

i should really explain that the stuff i'm referring to is nothing like the fruity nu-goth whinging myspace nonsense that kids call "emo" these days...
so, with that in mind:

[url=

icon- gravity[/url] (this was recorded 20 years ago and is possibly the greatest 'real' emo song ever).

[url=

(some live stuff)[/url]

[url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e859v5HAF1c&feature=related ]sleepytime trio (just great)[/url]

now bear in mind that most of this stuff is done totally DIY, without record label 'money' or anything like that, so often the sound quality is not exactly brilliant. but it was about the energy and enthusiasm, and the genuine [i]emotion[/i] driving the bands to want to sing/scream about something...

BH, i'll bring some CDs and/or records with me next time i come to your place! let you in on the 'secret'... hehe!

Looking forward to seeing M Ward on Tuesday, so much fun. Still loving the new Bat For Lashes album, nice to see it getting radio play too.

Speaking of more bands people have probably never heard of I was most impressed by Braebach, the Peatbog Faeries and The Demon Barbers at the Big Session last weekend.

I'm on a massive Stravinsky and Zappa binge

[i]You lot above are all showing off, with groups (singers) I've never heard of! [/i]

Just download some stuff from the names then they won't be some-one you've never heard of, nothing to worry about, it's just music...

XherbivoreX- will do.

MGMT

Bunnyhop, believe me, there's stacks of stuff out there I've never heard of, most of the chart top twenty, for a start. There's nothing too obscure in my list, most of the artists I've seen, quite a few recently in Bristol, like Metric, who are a stadium level band back in Canada, Howling Bells are on their second album, The Acorn are like Fleet Foxes, and toured recently with Elbow, Emma Pollock was with the wonderful Delgados. I suggest you get The Word magazine on a regular basis and read their album reviews and rip the free sampler cd into iTunes, and listen to LastFM, that will bring you a lot of new music. 6Music is where I first heard virtually all the bands I suggested, particularly Canadian bands, many of whom are on Arts and Crafts. Feist, The Postal Service, The Dears, Death Cab For Cutie, Pretty Girls Make Graves, The Like
and Black Mountain are a few others I first heard there. None of this music is obscure, it's just not played on mainstream daytime radio. It's all wonderful stuff, just spend a bit of time tracking it down.

thanks CZ

Black Clouds & Silver Linings - Dream Theater my current "in" album.

- Bill Talent
- Sparta.
My two favourites at the moment.

Although am also loving:
- Mr Scruff
- Say Anything
- Motion City Soundtrack
- Ministry of Sound - Chilled 1991 - 2006
- Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip

Yes, Band of Horses are also great 🙂

just listening to Calvin Harris, I created Disco. Very good so far . HMV £3 😆

Also been listening to acid jazz lately.

White Denim, either album - Workout Holiday from last year or their new one - are well worth a listen.

Ugly Side of Love by Malakai is really good too, once you get over the Finley Quaye-ish vibe.

I'm very much in a Placebo phase at the moment. Revisiting their older stuff as well as trying to get into the new CD (it is proving quite difficult, disappointingly.)

Also, I found this on YouTube earlier which was a bit of a blast from the past and also quite cool. Well, I like it anyway:

(tinyurl? Moi??)

just download spotify

you should be able to access most of the music above via that, its free and 100% legal

This is what is getting me going at the moment. Pushes all the buttons. Reminds me of people, places, events, emotions.

A bit cheesy but for me it really hits the spot, almost as good as the original.

the new eels album is rather good

bloc party just now...

Kev

hombre.. something or other.. played it a couple of times need to play it some more.. reckon there's some good stuff on ther.. daisies, souljacker and shootenanny are great...

Kev

A Child is Born - Johnny Mathis

I've had 'the song remains the same' by Led Zep on most days while driving back from work,

also just picked up the Cat Stevens compilation from Tesckyi's lastnight so that as well,

kicking it real old school

My fave 3 bands of the last decade, in no particular order;
The Handsome Family, now sadly past their best.
Boards of Canada; ditto!
Grandaddy - the baddest and sadly missed. Jason Lytle's solo album just ain't doing it for me 🙁

at the mo...

a bit of ACDC
some GREEN DAY

just had a look at the making of rock and roll train on you tube
worth a look

The Field ; Yesterday and today.
Paul White ; The strange dreams of.....
Milanese ; Lockout.
Chinese man ; The groove sessions vol II.

Anyone liking the Fleet Foxes should have a look at the BBC website. Glastonbury Videos section has 30 minutes of their set up, really looking forward to seeing them in september now! Also, Bunnyhop, if you like them, check out [url= http://www.myspace.com/boniver ]Bon Iver[/url] . I'm hoping that some of their set will be up on the BBC too. Playing twice too...

Since his tragic death the other day I've been listening to a lot of Sky 'Sunlight' Saxon - in The Seeds and Ya Ho Wha 13 as well as one or two other bits and pieces.

and Julian Cope.

Well, you did ask.

At the mo, for me, its a band called The Rifles. A bit Indie, but great tunes..

Passion Pit is the best thing i've listened to recently

Looking forward to getting my hands on the Florence and the Machine album "Lungs" and some new Sub Focus tracks - Rockit and their mix of Empire of the Sun

Dug out Pyramid Electric Co. by Jason Molina which I'm liking a lot.

Also picked up the recent offerings from Bill Callahan (Sometimes i wish we were an eagle) and Jeffrey Lewis ('Em are I) both of which definitely have their moments.

Also picked up the Pavement Wowee Zowee douple pack re-issue which I missed at the time. Glad I did too...

Trouble in Mind: The Doc Watson Country Blues Collection 1964-1998 is still getting heavy rotation mind.

I'm off to find some Subways (not the crap sandwichs) this morning after seeing them last night. Restored my faith in live music seeing them play.

peter bjorn and john
Friendly Fires
and Mark Ronsons Essential mix that he did for radio 1 a few years back

Susan Tedeschi band

http://www.susantedeschi.com/

loving paolo nuttinis new album specifically the tricks of the trade and candy, and ray lamontagnes version of crazy which i have just found on the wonderfull spotify

At the moment Im listening to quite a mixed bag of stuff.

Just downloaded a DJ Premier Mixtape, the 20th Anniversary Rare Play one. Some really good tracks on it from Verbal Threat, KRS-One, Royce 5'9 and Biz Markie.

Also got my hands on a copy of Rob Swifts Turntable Jazz Vol 1 which is very good, as well as Petestrumentals by Pete Rock and a DJ Mitsu Breaks and Beats album. All good chilled out jazzy hip-hop turntablism stuff.

Also been listening to a lot of abstract trip hop/turntablism from the likes of DJ Vinroc, Leaf, DJ Signify and DJ Egadz. Great if you like older Shadow and Krush stuff.

Other stuff is mostly rock/metal/progressive stuff, bands like Miss May I, Constants, Leo Project, Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, Blood Stain Child, Killswitch Engage, Vs The Ocean, Underneath The Gun.

DJ Signify, have the creepy one on Lex, love that. Has he done much else?

Ive got an album called Of Cities (which has a brilliant track featuring Aesop Rock called Low Tide) and No Sleep More both by Signify, not sure if they are the ones you have.

Also forgot to mention Evil9, their album You Can Be Special Too is absolutely excellent, some fantastic breakbeat stuff.

Anything Jo Whiley tells me.....

Currently expelling my earwax with Anaal Nathrakh - Constellation of the Black Widow.

That cycantific song empty streets is great whoever reccomended that.

For me it is :

Lone - My favorite artist EVER and probably allways will be, every one should hear this guy in my opinion. - http://www.myspace.com/lonemusic

Leatherettes - Makes j Dilla aetc sound like ammateurs

Nosaj Thing - wierd orchestral dance?

and a Claude Von stroke mix cd that came with mix mag ages ago...

Christ on a pogo stick, reading through this second page I'm feeling like Bunnyhop, there's so much stuff I've never heard of, which just goes to prove how diverse music can be, and just how much there is out there to discover. So little time, so little money...

Black Flag, Rancid, NoFX/Rancid split EP, Wintersleep (Orca from "Seasons" DVD) and the new Today is the Day album...for some extra rage 🙂

THE RIVER ... sheer class

is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse ?

Currently binging on late 90's drum n bass and trying to spread my tentacles a little further into dubstep and electro, oh and, quite worryingly, gabba :/

Tonight I've listened to Curved Air, (bought today), Indigo Girls 'Poseidon and the Bitter Pill', Rodrigo et Gabriella, and Devon Sproul '!Don't hurry for Heaven!'. All very fine stuff indeed.

Last few albums I've had on:
Louden Wainwright III - Attempted Moustache
Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band - The Spotlight Kid / Clear Spot
Big Brother and The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
The Seeds - The Seeds (just discovered these guys)
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and....
The Shins - All of their albums
Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
Martha Wainwright - I know your Married But ....
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
MC5 - Kick Out The Jams
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Band - Whipped Cream and Other Delights

I love these threads, kind of out of touch with what's happening music wise out here and I've been downloading furiously thanks to this thread!

[url=

nice![/url]

Just driven back up from Cheltenham and couldn't get enough of Audioslave and their Out of Exile CD...........absolutely fab driving music. Didn't take me long to get home!!!

At the moment it's a band called Flogging Molly.

loads of stuff, William Elliot Whitmore's good though
