okay
« on: 28 Nov 2006, 20:21 »
so, i'm pretty much losing my mind listening to the same music over and over again. i need somethig new and good that doesn't sound like every other freaking thing i listen to. otherwise, i'm afraid my brain will melt from the monotony of it all.

what do you usually listen to?

That might be a good place to start, so as we know what not to suggest.

i'm essentially a musical whore, although recently all i seem to hear is either off of our endless numbered days by iron & wine or a line of deathless kings by my dying bride. i just need something...i don't care what at this point :|

Well, what do you listen to right now? Categorise it into the most broad genre you can think of, then listen to the diametric opposite.

Without knowing what you listen to, I'll just throw out some suggestions: The Sound Of Animals Fighting; Tom Waits; Nick Cave; Soundgarden; Love Lost But Not Forgotten; Woody Guthrie; Madness; Lady Sovereign; Adequate Seven; Bjork; DJ Format....

I find that I go through phases like that sometimes, but more often than not I don't actually listen to any other people's suggestions - so your job is to actually listen to everything that everyone suggests in this thread EVEN if you think you won't like it!

I was on an Imogen Heap kick for a while, "Speak for Yourself" is a pretty damn good album and I'd reccomend that.  But lately I've just wanted to listen to happy fun music so I've been breaking out my Planet Smashers and Reel Big Fish stuff (hooray Ska) so if your in the mood for that kind of thing I'd reccomend them too.

Go buy Can's Ege Bamyasi and Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica. And if you still have money you're willing to spend, buy Miles Davis's Bitches Brew.

I guarantee you've never heard anything like these before. I know I hadn't when I first got them.

Mr. Bungle - California.  It's a little bit of everything.   I've been pushing that one everywhere I go, anyways.

While we're at it, why not simply the soundtrack to Jesus Christ Superstar?

I think it's a rather catchy musical.

Disco Volante (the previous album) is much weirder and harder to listen to.  which is why I said California.

Well, then I will recommend Don Caballero.  Try What Burns Never Returns or Don Caballero 2.

Disco Volante is REALLY weird.  like a coherent DMT trip or something.  Probably as weird as you can get while still maintaining some semblance of coherence.

Trout Mask Replica is a great album. As proof, I point you to "Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish."

Adaquate seven for sure.

Older ska bands..
The Beat
Bad Manners
The Specials.

also
Try some Drum and Bass.
I was into all ska and alt and stuff, but listen to some Pendulum, uh - Voodoo people re-mix and possible tarantula and whatever.

that was not overly helpful i thinks.

for new/unknown ska to check out try The Ska the best bet is the forums, as the rest of the site is not updated very regulary.

Listen to everything by Black Tape For A Blue Girl, starting with the CDs As One Aflame, Laid Bare By Desire and The Scavenger Bride.

Ridiculously addictive and beautiful darkwave stuff. The albums keep getting better every time you listen, indefinitely. 'specially that first one I named. Quite wonderful.
