I'm sort of confused. How is it that you discovered those songs without discovering the other songs by those same bands on the same albums? Blog mp3s? Myspace?

And honestly, what the fuck is the point of this thread?



Although I did check out Placebo last night. They were bitchin. and Alcatrazz and Amon Duul/Amon Dull II.

Thanks to iTunes free download of the week, I discovered The Submarines, today.  I might get the cd sometime when I'm not broke.

This is a tad silly but here goes:

Entombed - Eyemaster
Frog Eyes - The Oscillator's Hum
Destroyer - Painter in Your Pocket
Matisyahu - King Without A Crown
Miranda Sex Garden - A Fairytale About Slavery
Man Man - Engwish Bwudd
Brudevalsen - Nothing Left(more like rediscovered actually)
Jomi Massage - Det Ukendte(the solo version without DR's Big Band)
Kyuss - Into the Void(the groove!)
Deerhoof - Wrong Time Capsule
The Sugarcubes - Fucking in Rhythm and Sorrow

and now for those songs I feel a bit weird listening to:

Band of Horses - The Funeral
Flyleaf - Cassie(the singer has good pipes, which is about all I can say in my defense)
Controller. Controller - Poison/Safe

Is that a Black Sabbath cover?

Post by: Praeserpium Machinarum on 08 Apr 2006, 23:32

I think so, I got it in the forced listening thread.

It is, then.  I really like Monster Magnet's cover of that tune.  It's really cool.

I'm not going to bother with this rubbish of coming up with specific songs I've discovered, because that's kind of silly.  I'm just going to go with artists.

Evergrey (not super recently, but recently enough)
Gene Harris

I recently listened to the original version of one of my favourite songs, "Anyway that You Want Me", I love the versions by the Troggs and Spiritualized, but the original by Evie Sands blows them out completely.

Miranda Sex Garden - A Fairytale About Slavery

I'm so proud:)

Title: recent discoveries
Post by: Praeserpium Machinarum on 09 Apr 2006, 13:35

I am thinking of buying one of their albums and staying as far away as possible from Mediæval Bæbes. Sounds ghastly judging by the name and the press(former strippers!?)

Title: recent discoveries
Post by: Misereatur on 09 Apr 2006, 13:58

Actually, they were studying vocal music together before they decided to form a band. I really recommand the album Fairytales of Slavery. It sounds like Cocteau Twins, Einstürzende Neubaten and Dead Can Dance all together.

I cant find any of their albums here, although I saw Fairytales of Slavery in Tel Aviv once but I was stupid enough not to buy it.

They're pretty funny, but a capella is not really my style of music.  If you want something really interesting, try out Rondellus, particularly their CD "Sabbatum".  Rondellus is an Estonian band, they play period music from the 14th century with all their nifty instruments, all the lyrics are in latin, it's pretty trippy.  It gets even better on Sabbatum, which is a tribute album to Black Sabbath.  Basically they took 10 or 11 well-known Black Sabbath songs, transposed them to work with their instruments, translated all the lyrics to Latin, and recorded the results.

A Silver Mt. Zion and I'm quite happy I did.

Funeral by Band of Horses is good..it's from their new album "Everything All the Time"

If you like Sufjan Stevens you'd also like Page France.

Fuckin' Madeleine Theroux sounds just like Billie Holiday -- where was I when this happened, and why am I just finding out now?

They are so awesome.  I really, really want to see them in concert.

You mean Madeleiene Peyroux?

Post by: Garcin on 10 Apr 2006, 13:36

Yes, Madeleine Peyroux.  Careless Love is my favorite album of the week.  That's the first cover of Edith Piaf's La Vie en Rose that I liked as much as the original.

Bernard Szajner - Some Deaths Take Forever :: Classic electronic artist from France.  I always parade his name around but no one else seems to take to him.
Ashra - New Age of the Earth
Klaus Schulze - Audentity
Ellen Allien & Apparat - Orchestra of Bubbles
Front 242 - "U-Men"
Superpitcher - "People" :: Both the Front 242 and the Superpitcher are from a Junior Boys DJ mix.  Good German industrial techno (the Front 242) and microhouse (Superpitcher)
A Certain Ratio - "Knife Slits Water (7" version)" :: Cool electro-funk-cum-post-punk version of this track.
The Soft Boys - "Unprotected Love" :: From their 2000 come-back Nextdoorland which I picked up after being a longtime fan of Underwater Moonlight.  Picks up right where they left off.
Johnette Napolitano w/ Marc Moreland - "Hurting Each Other" :: From a Carpenters tribute album, If I were a Carpenter.  Cool mid-90s feedbacky slow-pop.

FUCK yes. Have you ever heard Blackouts or Ash Ra Tempel's self titled debut? Those are even better. Manuel Gottsching is amazing.

Yeah she's great. Speaking of Edith Pilaf, I'd love to find an record of hers. I need a record player first though...

i just hopped on T.I.'s new album "King" and it's been a pretty solid introduction to the guy.

and not so much discoveries but i just started to finally get Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" and Redman's "Dare Iz A Darkside." I think of no way that this could be a step in the wrong direction.

Agreed on the Gottsching.  I've got a lot of Ash Ra Tempel, but I generally prefer the less jammy Krautrocky things, and self-titled and Schwingungen are about as jammy Krautrocky as you can get.  I'm a sucker for later, New Agey Krautrocky things.  Haven't gotten around to Blackouts yet though.  Just bought Correlations.  Blackouts is up for the next Amoeba trip.
