Fun Stuff > BAND
I have lost my way on my quest for awsome (edited)
qiZzer:
I don't know enough about music, i know a fare bit but im lost. I love all kinds of indie music but im in the search of weird lesser known tunes. The problem is everyone i know just listen to crappy main stream pop, punk or worse yet rap. I have found my favorite bands wolf parade,Sunset Rubdown decembrsits, destroyer, polyphonic spree, modest mouse, asylum street spankers (guilty pleasure) and others through automated services such as Pandora/ituens, by chance and sound tracks and now im stuck in a rut. There are three basic things all band I like must have for me to like...
1. there has to be lyrics (i know hate me if you must)
2. song must be under 10 minutes
3. songs have to have structure
Im no newbie but can any of you out there in cyber space help me find my way with some kick ass recommendations? :?
imapiratearg:
Speaking of The New Pornographers, you should definitely check them out. Also, Stars and Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, Broken Social Scene would be a good choice and if you like them you would probably fancy Kevin Drew's work. I'm not saying you'll like them all, or any of them, but you may.

So wait. Are you saying that all pop, punk and rap is crap, or just the "mainstream stuff"?
