The Books. I can think of individual songs from a fair number of other artists, but pretty much every one of their songs incorporates non-musical sounds.

Rap music that isn't full of swearing, violence, or rampant sexism - I'm mostly still the into early-mid 90s rap from when I was young and my wife understandably gets mad if our baby is listening to it. I've got De la Soul, Dr. Octagon, Sugar Hill Gang, and The Fat Boys (The Fat Boys are Back is incredible), but I'm sick of all of those.

People Under the Stairs, Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf, Blackalicious, Genelec and Memphis Reigns, Teams vs. Star Slinger (instrumental, but it owns).

Electronic (?) music that is reminiscent of 80s movie soundtracks like Kavinsky. My wife bought the Drive soundtrack and we ended up getting all 3 albums of his that we could find. Nightcall is still my daughter's favorite song.

Any newer pop music (I've only got 80s pop music) that isn't too precious or twee and isn't about being skanky or sad, but is simple and danceable.

Danger, Neon Indian, Burial, Yelle, The Knife, El Guincho.

I'd love some music that is sort of like gently caress This poo poo by Belle and Sebastian. Basically, really chill, simple, acoustic music. Doesn't necessarily have to be instrumental, so long as the vocals aren't anything too fancy.

You may like "Energy Field" by Jana Winderen. It is made of recordings from up north (like Greenland or something). You can hear some wildlife, especially in the first track. The rest is mostly from underwater recordings (that is the "special" feature from this album).

I'm looking to go on a new music binge, so the more recommendations the better. I hope this isn't a faux pas here in NMD, but it's the most concise way to give a picture of what I like I can think of so here's my Last.fm.

tl;dr of above:

Just found out that contrary to what my proto-hipster friend told me, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are in fact ridiculously awesome, but I'm a little apprehensive it won't last. I liked them the instant I heard it which is generally a sign I'll get sick of it in a week or two. Trying to get a grip on Built to Spill, not so sure about it, seems really samey on the first couple listens. I'm going to give it another shot or five though, maybe there's something I'm not immediately hearing musically, and some of the lyrics have really blown me away.

Current favorites:
Modest Mouse
The Faint
Pixies
The White Stripes
Cake

I hate hate hate ambient and jam bands. That's not to say I begrudge you your liking them if that's what you're into, it's a taste thing not an objective value judgement. I like stuff that keeps giving when I concentrate on it. Layers, discordant notes that shouldn't work but do, syncopation, that kind of thing. Music that fades into the background can go gently caress itself.

Thanks!

Seconding Unwound. Leaves Turn Inside You has TONS of depth, so you may need to give it a couple listens through. At least, I had to.

Try 31Knots. They don't have too much on youtube, but you can stream their most recent stuff at Polyvinyl's website. There's a lot on there to listen to, but try The Curse of the Longest Day EP or Something up there this way comes on Worried Well or Chain Reaction on Talk Like Blood.

Deerhoof is really cool.

So is Mew.

Morning Teleportation is a pretty 'busy' sounding band discovered by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse so you might like them, they certainly don't fade into the background. It is pretty psychedelic though, so stay away if you can't take that stuff.

There's this song, called "A Native (Madison)" from this band called "Canon Blue". A search doesn't turn up anyone talking about it. If you like poppy ballads with string instruments because you're a big gay baby like me you'll like this song!

My favorite local band (to Gainesville, FL) was called Baby Rat , just a keyboardist and drummer duo. They played probably less than a dozen shows in their short existence, and never looked that confident about themselves. But I thought they rocked. I guess you'd call their brand of music "electronica" but I've never really understood the distinction between "electronica", "techno", and "industrial". I have a feeling they borrowed heavily from another band's sound. If you have any idea who that is, or who else they might sound like, then please make a recommendation!

Here's their three songs on Grooveshark for the "I only click once" crew:

I feel like you'd be better off looking into David Byrne's solo career; there's a few similar-feeling songs to be found there. Probably look into Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, particularly Home and Life Is Long.

Sparks' first few albums are fantastic, particularly Kimono My House and Propaganda.


I'm looking for some more stuff similar to Spacemen 3, stuff that's less obvious, though... not looking for someone to tell me Spiritualized or early-career Flaming Lips or BJM or blah blah blah.

Edit: I'm also not looking for Noise Pop or Shoegaze and derivatives, I've pretty much exhausted all I care to from those genres.

Mick Ronson (Bowie's guitar player) - Slaughter on 10th Avenue is basically another 70s Bowie record, he's trying his hardest to sing like him.
Jobriath's self-titled is awesome weirdo soul stuff
The Rats - First Long Playing Record (Ronson is on this too)
Cockney Rebel - The Human Menagerie/Psychomodo
The New York Dolls - self-titled is more protopunk than any of the British stuff but they were definitely glam.

I feel like I should know more, but here's what I've got:
Wooden Shjips
The Black Angels
Stereolab (though not everything of theirs sounds like that)
The American Analog Set's first two albums. Much less gritty and dissonant than Spacemen 3, but lots of organ drone and repetitive riffs.
Some Duster songs get the right feel, but a lot of their stuff is mid-tempo indie rock.


Gonna assume you know The Warlocks, VU, Jesus+Mary Chain, Neu!, The Sonics, The Stooges, etc. Loop is also a good recommendation.

edit- meant to include No Age

http://www.mojvideo.com/video-crash-test-dummies-is-the-spell-really-broken/cc474cb91aa65f498cfa - Crash Test Dummies' "Is the Spell Really Broken"

I'm looking for music in a style similar to these two songs below. I guess its a kind of slow blues, the tempo of the song is what appeals to me most.

Fleetwood Mac - Need Your Love So Bad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtmW2ek7WkQ

Screamin' Jay Hawkins - Portrait of a Man
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjYWQ3FZYd4

Is this a certain style of blues music or is it just a slow song in the genre? It's the slow pace that I appreciate the most and would like to discover more examples of.
