Title: Recomend music, please
Post by: bryanthelion on 26 Aug 2007, 09:00
This summer was a drout (sp?) in music for me. So I need new music to listen to to impress all of my friends! That and I'm tired of replaying the same 10 songs as I draw comics.

Anyway, my favorite bands are Rilo Kiley,Bright Eyes, Bjork, Arcade Fire,and The White Stripes.

I dont like Rilo Kiley's new album that much, atleast not enough to buy it.  Bright Eyes' album casadega was such a dissapointment, only like 2 songs were good. I'm going to check out Jonathan Rice's c.d, its like what the new Rilo Kiley should've been except with a dude! and sadly, Amy Winehouse has been controlling me with her jazzy souly tunes. So! What else should I listen to?

It's just annoying.  There keep coming up, and it seems like the same people recommend the same things every time.

Did you seriously just say you want obscure music so you can impress your friends?

That seems like an odd motivation... but seeing as I'm a sucker for helping people, check out The Weakerthans, they're quite good.

3. Listen to all of it, and decide what of it you like.
4. ???

Yes (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6966640.stm).

Would be cool to get a stickied recommendation 'megathread' bit like the Sendspace one, like they run over on Something Awful. Maybe with a list of 'if you like indie rock/pop check these out' bands.

OP: try some Ted Leo if you haven't already.

That would be pretty cool. I don't actually think these threads are all that necessary in the first place. If you read through the other threads in the music section; i.e. Sendspace, Happy Song, Listening To, etc., you should have enough recommendations to last you for weeks.

Not saying I mind these threads, but those other threads are the reason I don't feel the need to post one.

I wouldn't say she's original.  She's just biting off of Girl Groups from the 60s.  She's good but, not original.

Well, Your right.

I guess I meant to say is. Its awesome that she revitalized a pretty dead sound and made it her own. In the process ressurecting it into the mainstream.

That's a better explanation.  It is pretty cool that she revitalized the girl group sound.  Her band is pretty big.  Full brass section, guitar, drums, bass and back up singers/dancers.
