Anyone have any specific songs to recommend by The Brian Jonestown Massacre? I like "Shes Gone", but I know their library is quite large....

Hooplah posted:I totally feel you. Their later albums had that weird dance-punk thing going on and there was lots of falsetto... I found it pretty annoying, too. I like two of the groups you mentioned (Bear vs. Shark and So Many Dynamos) so I feel like this might be a good thing to jump into.

Also Living Legends. And lots of other stuff but that should be a good start. Gonna be some cursing in most songs so I don't know how you want to filter that, but that should point you in the right direction. Mr. Crow fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Dec 14, 2011 |

Looking for songs in a few different veins right now: Spiritualized - I Think I'm in Love - Slow build, great psychedelic jam The Snake the Cross the Crown - Behold the River - Also a longer buildup and a sort of multi-part song, but I really love the Southern/gospel twang on this one Mando Diao - Sheepdog - High energy pop guitars/vocals with a retro feel Belle and Sebastian - Nothing in the Silence - Soft, melodic and understated female vocals especially. Not quite so imposing as Neko Case for instance. But really anything like Belle and Sebastian would be great too. Any directions from these would be awesome.

Hey, I am looking for hip hop that sounds a lot like some mid 90s East Coast stuff. Specifically, I want something that is in a similar vein as GZA's Liquid Swords and Mobb Deep's The Infamous - so, narrative/visual lyrics and beats that are dark, grimy, "haunting," "gritty," whatever. Atmospheric weirdness is a plus. Also I should add -- I already listen to other Wu Tang solo albums (stuff from Ghostface, Raekwon, ODB etc) as well as many classic 90s artists (Nas, Big L, Black Moon, Jeru the Damaja, Das Efx, Company Flow, Onyx, Dr. Octagon/Kool Keith, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Gang Starr, etc…) and have not really been able to find anything I feel is similar enough to the aesthetic of Liquid Swords or The Infamous besides a few Onyx tracks. Examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9ZykEJuFrI (Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC52mfsugOc (GZA - Investigative Reports) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp2bkdOIRM0 (Onyx - All We Got Iz Us) afgrunden fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Dec 15, 2011 |

The Cold Vein is lyrically dense (that's a compliment; there's so much to unpack)and has a menacing vibe/atmosphere that I find somewhat reminiscent of Liquid Swords. Both of them also work as near-concept-album listens.

This will be a weird question for the music crowd but i'm looking for a christmas present for my cousin. He loves Bruce Springsteen, but I know he has all the music so I thought i'd get him a biography. Looking around the internets I see more then a few books about the subject, does anyone know which are good?

I don't know about books, but does your cousin even have the recently released 'The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story'? Cause that would make a great, if very expensive gift that includes a lot of bonus documentary material.

Clams Casino's beats tend to be pretty "haunting" what with the ethereal vocals sampled from Imogen Heap and whoever else. eXquires beats run a pretty large gamut of producers, with El-P and Necro handling some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB7bmQg6m3Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt6MvNz5nCc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bzoyVKZaL4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzcFjJSgWfE

I like Ratatat's more recent stuff (mirando and grape juice city), and I'm trying to find other things with similar intensity and complexity, minus the drawn out aspect of say, Explosions in the Sky. I like Maps & Atlases too, and that whole nameless zone of clean, fast, technical guitar work that resides somewhere between people's definitions of "math rock" and "metal". Interesting drum work and technicality, without the side of math rock that goes "BRAAAAGGGHGHHGHGHGH" Can you guy's suggest me anything of similar interest? I love weird/impulsive hip hop and electronica as well, Prefuse 73 and so on.

Hooplah posted:So are you trying to say you like technicality and complexity but don't like the noisy or really heavy end of that genre? Yep, basically, though I still enjoy Tera Melos for instance, so I think it's mostly when things get into growl vocals and a general sludge. Thank you for your sugestions, I do like TTNG, Volta do Mar, and Faraquay. I'd heard So Many Dynamos before, but I'm not as enthused with them as most people seem to be, it's a little to poppy. To the poster above: Battles are great, I saw them last summer at the cap hill block party in Seattle, the crowd had a water gun fight.

I'd PM you but I dont have that upgrade It's kind of hard to point you in one direction considering the fragmented nature of Hip-Hop right now that isn't really Trap Rap, so none of these are terribly similar. Some stuff from this year worth giving a listen to might be the rest of the A$AP Mob, Action Bronson, Danny Brown, Freddie Gibbs, and Kendrick Lamar. Maybe try Black Dave if you want something similar to Lil B or Odd Future but with more quality control and less corniness lyrically, or Main Attrakionz if you grow to like the more spaced out ASAP/Lil B type stuff. Maybe you'd also dig Elzhi's Elmatic tape from earlier this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUGkL6wGZWI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs0jWDRcA9o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPCQgzA1cnU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmqU0dqZzAQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPJGRgPkY6U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Bfe34c5ME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D128R20S-Ow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcqGNDo2jzc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38HmE7fuE1w Edit: Here's a pretty great posse cut remix of the eXquire track I posted earlier with Despot, Das Racist, Danny Brown and El-P: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ijOe3sGEk Radio Spiricom fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Dec 16, 2011 |

This might be needlessly specific but I've been on a Glenn Branca kick lately, and I'm looking for music like his, big, atonal but using the reverberations/resonance of the room they are performed in to great effect. Doesn't matter what it is, as long a it's got those overtones I loove. note that I'm not looking for more no wave or abrasive noise stuff, I pointed out Branca because he is one of the best I know at conjuring that shimmering cacophonous stuff. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but maybe someone out there will get what I'm talking about.

I've been obsessing over this music from the trailer for "The Hunger Games" (full trailer here.) It's tragic and sweeping and epic, and are those bagpipes at the 1:30 mark? I'm hoping for any recommendations that are similar to this, I know of some things by Hans Zimmer ('Gladiator' soundtrack), the custom movie trailer pieces by Two Steps From Hell, and some other movie soundtracks, but am wondering about any non-movie-related composers or pieces that would fit this. Thanks!

This isn't exactly a recommendation request, but I figure this might be the place to ask this. Can anyone find me more of this: (http://www.myspace.com/hellosailors or (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0mR9W2cSNE)) I have searched the internets far and wide for a CD or a main website for the band, anything and have come up empty. If you find something I will be like holy poo poo.

For current stuff, try Puerto Rico Flowers, Blessure Grave, and Zola Jesus. Iceage too, I guess and if you like the Wipers try White Lung or Bloody Gears. As for classic stuff, there's a bunch of different sounds within the genre. There's mopey stuff, like Joy Division, The Smiths, The Cure, Bauhaus, PiL, and Siouxsie, experimental stuff like This Heat, Swell Maps, Maximum Joy/The Pop Group, Pere Ubu and I suppose Wire and The Fall could go here too, funky disco-influenced stuff like Gang Of Four, Au Pairs, The Slits, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Delta 5, Liquid Liquid, and Bush Tetras and stuff that doesn't really fit in anywhere else like Devo, Talking Heads, The Raincoats, A Certain Ratio, The Mekons and No Wave stuff. I dunno, I could give you more but I feel like this is more than enough to start. Radio Spiricom fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Dec 21, 2011 |

Hygiene Country Teasers - probably the most insulting music one could ever hear Dan Melchior - this guy releases three albums per year Gun Outfit Cheveu The Intelligence (defunct, sadly) Total Control Grass Widow from old (and not mentioned above) stuff check Black Randy & The Metrosquad, Grauzone, Axemen, Prolapse, The Ex, Glaxo Babies, The Girls (the 80s synth-punk band), Alternative TV and all of the Messthetics compilations.

The other guy who responded to you, I don't necessarily agree with his list. It seems to focus more on math-rock than this "Dischord/DC sound" that I personally tend to associate with Q and not U. I mean, you'll probably still like a lot of that music anyway but maybe not for the same reasons. Fugazi's End Hits and The Dismemberment Plan are still your best bets, in my opinion. But you probably already know about them so I don't know what to tell ya!

I don't know that I can recommend things that are exactly like that, but here are some artists to try, albums to start with, and YouTube links to tracks: Morcheeba - Big Calm Big Calm - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--wy8QmLlM8 Blindfold - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiGDM4j9Wj0 Goddamn incredible album. They have several other good ones. Be advised that The Antidote has a very different sound, and Charango is basically straight up bad. They have changed singers a few times; their most recent, Dive Deep, has a different vocalist than their first couple of albums, but it's quite good anyway. Zero 7 - When It Falls Somersault - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-ov3etUsYo Warm Sound - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmPchJQjqUk They have at least one more album, but I haven't heard it. From there you might investigate more "classic" trip hop, but that might not be chillout enough for you. Here's some standard recommendations: Portishead - Dummy Mysterons - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3baifH7bhI Sour Times - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niIcxMuORco The classic Portishead album. Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X 6 Underground - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrvk1bmTayg Post-Modern Sleaze - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmlEL1DeaKg This is, I believe, their only album with this vocalist, and the remaining albums feature a male vocalist (one of the two founding members). I like some of them -- Bloodsport is pretty good -- but this one is the classic, especially "6 Underground," which is very famous in that scene.

Definitely a big Portishead fan so I already delve into trip-hop, I think the thing about Air is that they have a quiet pop-ish sound to their downtempo stuff. It's so maddeningly hard to articulate what makes Air "Air" other than that. They're very French  Other than that they seem to be the perfect mix of lounge, downtempo, ambient, and electronic. Thanks for the suggestions, definitely checking some of those out. I've been meaning to check out Morcheeba for some time now so I think I will

If you'll enjoy Morcheeba, there's a lot more of trip-hop sound out there (Zero 7, Cinematic Orchestra, The Dining Rooms to name a few)
