let's have some recommendations, then?
Anything, don't matter...
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 . . . .

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!
dobo - Memberemo 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...
