I've started listening to Marty Robbins recently and that got me back into my Johnny Cash albums and a couple of compilations of old-time mountain music and outlaw songs.

I'd like to find some more collections of songs about remorseful gunslingers, hard-luck miners, lonely cowboys and the women who despair for them.

Probably any Hank Williams Sr. song would do.

There definitely is, and if you visit enough thrift stores you'll find it. Roy Smeck is the only name I can think of off the top of my head, but the first CD of the Steelin' It compilation is pretty great by my steel guitar lovin' girlfriend's standards. The rest of the compilation, not so much.

Hula Records, Waikiki Records, and 49th State Records are some labels to look out for. They all released primarily vocals tracks, but recorded many instrumentals as well. Most of this stuff (as far as I know) is vinyl only though.

There is no band radder than Karp, but I got a few that come close!

Floor are super melodic and rock hard. So hear them (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH5yH03Tlp4)
Jared Warren from Karp has some notable post-projects that hit that sweetspot, notably Big Business (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oms30OlFeL0)and perhaps more notably and aptly named for your needs, Tight Bros From Way Back When (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH6E8cRB5LI&feature=related)

A few months ago I randomly stumbled upon Hadestown by Anais Mitchell, and since then I've been slowly appreciating how incredible it is.

It's a very unique type of album (Folk Opera as defined by the artist), but can anyone help me find similar stuff?

I don't really care what it is, just whatever you personally find cheers you up or makes you feel good about whatever. I'm a big fan of upbeat electronic music but I've run out of stuff to listen to. Instrumental stuff is awesome. I've been needing to mellow out and try and improve my mood and I think this would help a lot.

Try Morning View and move outwards chronologically from there. The older stuff is heavier/more funky, the newer stuff gets a bit more spacey and poppy.

I would love to hear some extremely chill music with clear Finnish vocals. Particularly female vocals, but male is fine. I'm imagining something like relaxed 80s electronic pop with better production, something dreamlike or spacey or heartfelt, but more than anything I just want Finnish vocals with clarity and a calm atmosphere.

See, I'm kind of trying to start to learn Finnish and I think Finnish music would help. I know of and love Finnish metal, but right now I just want something sweet and calm.

I have just discovered Skrillex, and hoo boy... I want more! Problem is, people say he's dubstep, but I don't fancy much else people tend to stuff into that bag, and Spotify I feel isn't much help in finding more.

I think what I really like about his stuff is the contrasts between chugging pounding choppy brutality and easygoing melodious cheerfulness. And the rythms and syncopation of course. The non-simplicity. I'm mostly a metal fan, if that helps.

What can you guys recommend I stuff my ears full of?

I got the impression mostly from the slidy phrygian strings in the first track reminding me of stuff my egyptian relatives listen to. Even if it has nothing to do with Arabic music I'm interested either in stuff that sounds similar to it or actual Arabic orchestral music as oppossed to just Oud like Hamza El Din.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for but there's orchestras that do classical Arabic songs. Although set to a western orchestra, the usually retain a certain amount of the sound, for instance this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CftWk_C1J-s

I don't know of any good source other than just going to youtube and typing in the name of songs with orchestral after it (ex. "ibn al balad orchestral" brings up a couple).


Other than that sort of thing, the only thing I can think of that even sort of comes close to "Arabic orchestral" music would be the mehteran; it's Turkish and tends to use horns/percussion and not really any strings.

Some examples
Yinede Sahlaniyor
Ceddin Deden
Yelkenler Bichilecek

I realise this probably doesn't help you much, but maybe can get you pointed in the right direction?

On top of the bands that Davincie mentioned (which are very good), you should also check out The Apples in Stereo. Their music is pretty upbeat and poppy sounding, which I think you would like.

The Wonder Weapon

There are 2 types of music I'd like to find more of.

The first one I'm looking for is some electro/synth/techno/whatever the term is now for when I'm bombing around in my little sports car. I want something with big drops, and the best adjective I can think of to describe what I'm looking for is 'pulsing.' I don't have a track to point to that I can say 'this is exactly what I want,' but I'll know it when I hear it.

I also absolutely love Jazeboo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikFIivrun6s). I'm in love with this album, and I want as much of it as I can get. I looked up similar artists and found stuff like Rob White and Sacha Petulli, but it just isn't the same. Has anyone encountered anything that's a little more in line with this track? I've never wanted an artist to have more albums this badly before.

Different happiness:

Zolof The Rock and Roll Destroyer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCg9iaz50oI - Four of their songs back to back.

Norah Jones always makes me happy, Sunrise especially:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd02pGJx0s0&ob=av2e

Janelle Monae, it's like Michael Jackson and Prince had an awesome kid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwnefUaKCbc&ob=av2e - Tightrope
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZyyORSHbaE&feature=relmfu - Many Moons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqmORiHNtN4&feature=fvwrel - Coldwar

Mutemath, can't say much other then it makes me happy. The first song is their new single, the next two are from their first album which is one of my favorite albums.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv2mjAgFTaI - Blood Pressure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTV0Aa4lC04 - Chaos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XVWR-5fiG0 - Typical

Old school Anthrax is great for that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oyY6ibGI4M - Gung Ho
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCDIbjkkGz4&feature=related - Madhouse

Lights, a pretty girl singing an upbeat song, definition of happy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU9-TRVbhkE&ob=av2e - Ice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPLRkyGU3cM&feature=relmfu - Second Go

Asteroid Galaxy Tour. I think of these guys as a modern trippy hippy pop band who makes really fun music. The trippy thing I think is associated in my mind because I did a lot of whippets while listening to this album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq-aNkBc2_M - Around The Bend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17XQ8pJZ4lw&feature=related - The Sun Ain't Shining No More

edit: I should clarify, whippets are slang terms for those little canisters of Nitrous Oxide. I wasn't loving those skinny dogs.
