[Jooooosh]

I was just thinkin that

[Kai]

Mervaka:

And I'm listening to The Residents.

*yaaaaaaaaaaaawn*

What by The Residents? Some of their stuff is not nearly as good.

*Ahem*

[Johnny C]

1) I second the Metric recommendation; for shits and or giggles check out DFA1979 too.

2) You may love the Minutemen, my friend.

[Coonstar]

Yeah I already listen to Metric. I used to sleep a lot to Old World Underground. Death From Above 1979 I've already heard and don't quite like.

Today I checked out the Minutemen - a few tracks off Double Nickels on the Dime. There's no love-on-first-listen going on as of now but I find them interesting enough.

Hee, I'm am acquiring some Ratatat as I type this out =D Sankyuu!

[Outshined]

im gonna suggest ratatat, as everybody loves ratatat

in fact... gimme a minute

here is their entire album, dont tell anyone though


also, my current obsession is metric, i personally thinkg old world underground is a masterpiece, you should check it out

Mmmm... Ratatat is good stuff!  The only part of that album I disagree with is the random "hip-hop shoutouts"  where they throw in dialog for no reason.  Other than that, it's gold!  

Oh!  Thought of another.  If you are remotely interested in folk music, you should check out Iron and Wine.  I'm more and more coming to believe that everyone should hear "Our Endless Numbered Days" at least once in their lifetime.

[Jed]

Few bands you might want to check out:

Faithless
                                                           Acid Mothers Temple
Juicy Panic
                                                        Cradle of Filth
Impaled Nazarene  
                                             Yoko Kanno & the Seatbelts
Children of Bodom  
                                           Red Crayola
New York Dolls  
                                                 Hurriganes
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

[Robbo]

I've heard Damnation by Opeth before, I didn't get into it. Hmm, another album?

As I suggested, Blackwater Park. Thought if you didn't like Damnation, all Opeth is filled with soft bits, because it's part of their progressive dynamic. Though I dunno how you'd get on with the Death growls. They're easy to understand for any Death Metal fan...but for an Indie fan....

[happybirthdaygelatin]

Just remembering a pretty funny quote about Interpol from someone's signature just made me think of this one but you should check out Joy Division.  Also Ugly Cassinova, it has Issac Broc from Modest Mouse plus other people I can't remember.  Oh, except for Califone, which is pretty good as well.

[Coonstar]

Just remembering a pretty funny quote about Interpol from someone's signature just made me think of this one but you should check out Joy Division.  Also Ugly Cassinova, it has Issac Broc from Modest Mouse plus other people I can't remember.  Oh, except for Califone, which is pretty good as well.

Yeah I remember reading a quote that went along the lines of "Joy Division is if Interpol learned how to write lyrics, Interpol is if Joy Divison learned how to write music." Hahah that's pretty damn insulting to both bands, I forgot where I read that from. I checked out Substance but I still hadn't gotten into it, anybody got more Joy Divison to specifically check out?

[Merkava]

Mervaka:

And I'm listening to The Residents.

*yaaaaaaaaaaaawn*

What by The Residents? Some of their stuff is not nearly as good.

*Ahem*

I was listening to the first few tracks of the "Our Tired, Our Poor, Our Huddled Masses" compilation.

AMG gives God in Three Persons a 5/5, so mabe I'll try and check that out when I can find it.

[Kai]

I haven't heard those three tracks, so I can't say anything about them. Alot of their stuff is just kinda 'meh' though, after about 1980 up until now, with a few exception (Mole Trilogy [part 1], Freak show, Wormwood, etc.) Although the very old stuff, such as Meet The Residents, Not Available, Third Reich N' Roll, Eskimo, and for some people The Commercial Album (Some love it, some hate it) are very good. And, if you can find a copy of The Warner Bros. Album or Baby Sex floating around on the interweb, grab it. They were never released, although it's very good stuff.

[La Creme]

Benny Goodman

If you're gonna hit up the King of Swing, check out "Celestial Express" by Charlie Christian, which has some of the first jazz guitar playing, along with Benny Goodman's band. It's excellent stuff.

Also, *ahem ahem* YOU POWER-METAL SUPPLIERS DIDN'T RECOMMEND HELLOWEEN!!! Helloween are a perfectly stereo-typical metal band. Hair, harmonized ibanezs and jacksons, the singer has a really high ass metal scream voice, and there's a guitar solo on virtually EVERY song. I love them oh so much. And I also wholeheartedly agree to Blind Gaurdian. I also add Symphony X, but they're a whole different thing. Great introduction to prog they are. Cheap Yoda rip-off this is.

Also, as Kai to the Residents, I to the Sugarplastic. Get they're Cd "Bang, The Earth Is Round" and prepare to be indied. They are terrific. It's this awesome combination of just about everything, from Jon Brion to The Beatles to The Pixies to The Talking Heads to Elvis Costello. Amazing stuff.

[happybirthdaygelatin]

Hahah that's pretty damn insulting to both bands, I forgot where I read that from. I checked out Substance but I still hadn't gotten into it, anybody got more Joy Divison to specifically check out?

Dead Souls, Love Will Tear us Apart, and She's Lost Control.  That is pretty insulting but amusing.

[KharBevNor]

^ I didn't recommend Gamma Ray either.

...meh.

[Inlander]

I checked out Substance but I still hadn't gotten into it, anybody got more Joy Divison to specifically check out?

Dead Souls, Love Will Tear us Apart, and She's Lost Control.  That is pretty insulting but amusing.

You forgot "Transmission".

But I think all those songs are on Substance, so Coonstar - all I can recommend is: listen more!

[happybirthdaygelatin]

I was listing what I could remember off of Permenent, which I lost a long time ago.

[Merkava]

Dead Souls, Love Will Tear us Apart, and She's Lost Control.  That is pretty insulting but amusing.

I'd say that they're TOTALLY different. Interpol shares more simmilarities to Clinic than JV, I'd say. It's a lot more lush and beautiful, while JV was more rough, simple, and subdued.

[happybirthdaygelatin]

I don't know, I've only heard a couple of songs really.  My friend thought they sounded even more like the Tragicaly Hip.

[Jooooosh]

some good hard rock is Instruction

[happybirthdaygelatin]

Oh, for good rock I'll recomend Clutch.  Himsa is a good local (local as in a hour drive to Seattle, eh) band.  Can never go wrong with Mr. Bungle.

[Coonstar]

Yeah what I like the most about Interpol is the whole "lush" and beautiful sound to it, it's that really rich deep smooth sound. I just simply don't get the same effect from Joy Division- so I really don't get how Interpol = Joy Division.

[happybirthdaygelatin]

Huh, I don't see Interpol as beutiful or lush.  Then again, I haven't heard them all that much and haven't heard Joy Divison in awhile either.  From my memory the comparison is kind of a desolate and simple sound for both of them.

Really though, I'm going to have to whore out Mr. Bungle again.  Check out "None of Them Knew They Were Robots" and "Goodbye Sober Day." Oh and "The Air-Conditioned Nightmare" is good.  http://www.bunglefever.com/ has some of them, look under the discography section under the album California.

[Kai]

Mr. Bungle rocks my fucking socks.

[Coonstar]

Oh man, I'd love to check out every single album that everyone has recommended (super thanks everyone) but I'm having a hard time obtaining most of them. If anyone is willing to assist me, my msn is: [email protected] =D

And again, sankyuu. Ratatat is not bad at all, I just never expected them to have that kind of sound due to their band name.

[normz]

Mr. Bungle rocks my fucking socks.

Mr Bungle rocks my socks AND JOX .... HAHHAHA

No seriously Mike Patton is THE shit

[KharBevNor]

Mike Patton is another one of those cultural phenomena I don't get. Like novelty ring-tones.

[La Creme]

Mr. Bungle rocks my fucking socks.

Mr. Bungle rocks everyone's socks. Except Khar's apparently, which is really fucking surprising.

"Goooo-ooood Byyye a-Sober Day..."


Chakchakchakchakachakachakachakachaka.

[KharBevNor]

'tis ok I guess, I've only really heard one track, and have never been inspired to get any more, which for me is the measure, really. It's not like, keeping it in the avant-garde field, Crotchduster, where immediately upon hearing 'Let Me Into Starfish Land' I simply downloaded all their album and started rocking backwards and forwards in anticipation of their next effort.

"BOBA FETT! BOBA FETT! VADER AND BOBA FETT! BOBA FETT! BOBA FETT! AAARRRGGGHHHH!"

Most I'll say for Patton, is that his EP with Dillinger Escape Plan is probably the least shite DEP stuff I've heard. Roughly.



Come to think of it, yeah, Crotchduster - Big Fat Box of Shit

Funniest album ever, in a good way.

[a pack of wolves]

Please tell me you didn't just use avant-garde and Crotchduster in the same sentence seriously.

[KharBevNor]

I did, because, believe it or not Crotchduster are actually avant-garde.

All those songs about rimming grandmas and killing the Dutch seems to blind people to this fact.

[Peter Linfield]

These are the albums that I've been most into lately, they're all good, but wander around the spectrum a bit.

Dredg - El Cielo
Eagles of Death Metal - Love, Peace, and Death Metal
Matthew Good Band - The Audio of Being
Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze
Radiohead - OK Computer
Rammstein - Reise, Reise
System of a Down - Mezmerize

[La Creme]

Radiohead - OK Computer

Such a fucking good album!

Jazz for someone who likely doesn't listen to much:

Grant Green - Blue Breakbeats
Karl Denson - Dance Lesson No. 2
The Bad Plus - These Are The Vistas
The Bad Plus - Give
Miles Davis - Live Evil
Miles Davis - The Birth Of The Cool
John Coltrane - Giant Steps
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters
Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen - The Trio (best jazz players ever, likely the best piano, guitar, and bass players [respectively] in history)
Charlie Christian - Celestial Express
Wes Montgomery - The Incredible Jazz Guitar
Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Smith - The Dynamic Duo
Jimmy Smith - Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf (may only be available on LP)
Jimmy Smith - The Sermon
Miles Davis - Seven Steps To Heaven
Miles Davis - Get Up With It
Stan Getz, Kenny Baron - People Time
<last but not least> Lee Morgan - Cornbread

many others.

[Inlander]

(resisting so hard the urge to be an outrageous jazz-snob)

[Coonstar]

Dredg - El Cielo <-- will check out. Heard mucho good stuff about Dredge.
Eagles of Death Metal - Love, Peace, and Death Metal <-- hmm.
Matthew Good Band - The Audio of Being <-- I don't really like Matt Good, listened to maybe 3 albums, I like their sound but something about Matt Good's kind of drawn out vocals I don't like- especially with his solo Avalanche album.
Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze <-- heard it. Rated R is way better.
Radiohead - OK Computer <-- heard it. Good stuff, just can't listen to it often.
Rammstein - Reise, Reise <-- s'okay.
System of a Down - Mezmerize <-- SOAD's not really my thing anymore

I shall check out more of those jazz albums. But dayum, soulseek needs to get way more jazz =P[/i]

[Kai]

Miles Davis - Live Evil
Miles Davis - The Birth Of The Cool
Miles Davis - Seven Steps To Heaven
Miles Davis - Get Up With It

What, no Bitches Brew?

[Merkava]

yeah, wtf? That's a classic.

[Coonstar]

I've just listened to some Kraftwerk for the first time today. Oh man, they are the super cool.

[Not An Addict]

Garbage - Beautiful Garbage

[Takes CD. Breaks it in half. Gives Coonstar copy of Version 2.0.]

You'll thank me later.

If you're willing to delve into a bit of electronica (or hell, if you're willing to delve into genius music period), I'd recommend Bjork's Homogenic or Post.

Pfffft. Garbage was the first band I ever loved. Yes of course I know Garbage, and Version 2.0, and the current one (which I do not like at all). And yes I think Beautiful Garbage is superior to all of them.

Now apologize for breaking my favorite Garbage album in two!

[JLM]

Koop: Waltz for Koop
Jazzanova - In Between

[KharBevNor]

-suidakra

The only Suidakra track I have is a cover of 'Skyclad's' 'The One-Piece Puzzle'. Not that I need anymore endorsement than that they have the taste to cover the fucking 'clad, but I'll take that as endorsement to add them to 'the list'.
