Title: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, March 13, 2009, 16:36:59 (warning: this thread may contain references to norway or norwegian musicians)
so... what are you enjoying lately? have you made any exciting musical discoveries? are there any bands you wish would release some new material (aside from disbanded/defunct ones)? what are you fed up of hearing? i've been wishing that kings of convenience would release some new material, so i've been checking out erlend oye's solo stuff and the whitest boy alive. it's a bit too electro at times but quite pleasantly chilled at the same time, bit like royksopp i've also been listening to red brick dream a lot. i'd never heard it before and checked it out on the strength of adje's recommendation via his signature... i love it. if anyone likes twee female singer/songwriters, check out rockettothesky Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: Saxondale on Friday, March 13, 2009, 16:57:36 On an americana type tip, Im listening to the J Tillman album at the moment which is pretty good, but more impressive than that is the debut album by The Acorn. Very very good if you like your fleet foxes / okervil river type stuff.
Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Friday, March 13, 2009, 17:13:10 I like the new bat for lashes single, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8khIEtd5ANs

Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, March 13, 2009, 17:41:03 indifferent, bordering on mild disdain Standard SY world view then...wouldn't you just die for a set of cheekbones like Morten Harket though. Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: michael on Friday, March 13, 2009, 18:38:12 Loads of good stuff coming out in the next couple of months: Super Furries which I have spoken about elsewhere, Bat For Lashes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs to name a few... but the three I am most excited about are new albums by Mastodon, Grizzly Bear and The Field.
At the moment I am enjoying Animal Collective, the new Trail of Dead (their best since Source Tags & Codes, for my money), Deerhunter's 'Microcastle' and last year's pretty decent debut by Santogold. And, GK nash, Okkervil River are a truly wonderful band. I can't find any fault with either of their last two albums. Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, March 13, 2009, 18:43:28 Shouldn't that be the 1986 version Reg?

Nice....I've been grooving to the Manatee Parasites, Welder's Flux and Arranged Marriage. The Parasites....Tics My Box is sublime.

I never listen to anything after the Miner's Strike. Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: michael on Friday, March 13, 2009, 18:53:18 I really like the Titus Andronicus album as well.
Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: adje on Friday, March 13, 2009, 18:59:11 Band of Horses,Vic Chesnutt and Kelly Joe Phelps-check 'em out SY
Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, March 13, 2009, 19:14:40 In for the kill - La Roux (Skream Let's get Ravey Mix) is the biggest tune at the moment, top notch! Also Commix Album - Call To Mind is awesome
Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: mexico red on Friday, March 13, 2009, 19:41:31 the new walkmen album "you and me" is a return to form.
Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: Chubbs on Friday, March 13, 2009, 19:46:41 frank turners worth a listen, been listenin to "sleep is for the week" a lot

Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Friday, March 13, 2009, 23:32:32 Been listening to The Cars a lot recently. Mostly because I keep hearing "My Best Friends Girl" on the trailer at work for the film of the same name. But also because I love their poppy, happy tunes.
And Drive, a different but ace song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swunpZMkZAk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6avuh3K_70&feature=related Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: PHIL!!!! on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 01:03:14 Just recently i've discovered a really ace band called 'A Bullet For Pretty Boy'. The name sucks a little i know, but if you like your progressive/screamo/blah blah blah rock, then you'll like these (Which i'm guessin isn't very many people on this forum.....). Other than that, it's the same old same old, from me!
Sonic, any idea if KWD are releasing new material soon? I haven't kept up to date with their 'shizzle' lately...... Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: PHIL!!!! on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 01:05:10 Oh and for anyone into their 'soft rock', look no further than Silversun Pickups.
Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: michael on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 01:15:10 I am also liking what I've heard by Wavves
http://www.myspace.com/wavves 'So Bored' contains a wonderfully wonky brand of lo-fi surf-pop. Can't find a release date for the album. Will keep looking.

I haven't kept up to date with their 'shizzle' lately...... they've not released anything since an ep at xmas i've either listened to lots of post hardcorey or pop punkey stuff....or the funness of death metal if you go onto last fm again add me innit SY, i've got that clown Phil!!! on there Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, March 19, 2009, 20:05:53 In for the kill - La Roux (Skream Let's get Ravey Mix) Bit of a bump, but I heard this on t'radio last night and I agree it's the dog's proverbials.

I have the music tastes on a 13 year old girl so Im not going to mention anything I like!! Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: A Gent Orange on Friday, March 20, 2009, 10:12:39 Just got the new The Decemberist album, The Hazards Of Love, and so far after just one listen (while working) it's really good. A bit mad folk/prog but very good.
No links yet so here is a great old song instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK3Ce9md96g Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: reeves4england on Friday, March 20, 2009, 10:34:33 Oh and for anyone into their 'soft rock', look no further than Silversun Pickups.

Title: Re: obligatory music thread MCMLXXXVI Post by: Sippo on Friday, March 20, 2009, 10:48:38 I'm loving the new prodigy album, but on the other extreme I'm liking a bit of Johnny hates Jazz at the same time.
