Biosludge posted:Hello everyone, Sleater-Kinney might be right up your alley (also, they are the best band of all time). Their earlier stuff was more on the punk side of the pop-punk equation, mid-stuff was a bit poppier, and their last album was punk-influenced straight up rockers. Early stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_37YRkp4hIQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbmZi_VS4ZM Mid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcSGzxdXtnE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubyVReV2gDc Late https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgBRjqDE-24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbxRu7fwR24 (Sorry, quality on all of those is terrible.

Paperhouse posted:I've been getting into what I think is called french house or maybe nu-disco, but it's hard to find what I'm really after using these terms. I like most of what I find in this vein, but my favourite stuff is the stuff that isn't too chill, has groovy and prominent bass, and vocal samples. Here are a few examples of what I mean I hate to categorize everything into genres, but I believe nu-disco would be classified as original material as popularized by labels/artists such as DFA and Todd Terje. I'm not exactly sure on the pedantic classification, but the tracks you showed as examples actually sound like disco edits, which basically means old disco tracks are chopped up and rearranged to take out the boring parts/make them more suitable for DJ usage, if you like this sort of style, there are a few labels that specialize in this sort of stuff, but it's mostly available only on vinyl (unless you venture on Russian sites and lurk around a bit) One of my favorite ones is a label I believe is run by a DJ that goes by the name of Eric "Dr. Dunks" Duncan, C.O.M.B.i., here's an example of one of their releases. Another (folded) label who does this sort of stuff is Instruments of Rapture with this track from Juan MacLean's DJ-Kicks mix being one of the label's highlights, however this might be leaning too much on the house side of things. When talking about artists, it's important to mention DJ Harvey, one of the pioneers of this "genre", with some great releases on his label Black Cock Records. The track Frog Scene is a personal favorite. More contemporary artists (that you can check out on SoundCloud) include Rayko, The Reflex (who by the way is a semi-frequent collaborator on another very good edit label, Moton Records Inc.), The Revenge and throwing in another label for good measure - Macadam Mambo (Edits) who have recently started to release a lot of weird, off-beat (but great) edits. Anyway, this might not have been exactly what you were looking for, but hopefully you can find something similar you can enjoy from some of these suggestions. Good luck!

I don't normally listen to a lot of movie soundtracks, but ever since I saw the movie Hanna, I've been listening to a few of the tracks that The Chemical Brothers wrote for the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqvgNtBLXiE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqKnoXXL-yI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBmwcuLa1as I like how many different sounds are used, I like that it's a little weird and aggressive sounding. What are some other songs or artists I should check out in this same vein?

I have a soft spot in my heart for a type of music I like to call "songs for drinking alone at night". This is mainly medium- or variable-energy fuzzy guitar stuff. I'm probably describing it wrong. The kind of music where you just look out at the sodium vapor lamps and just feel it, ya know? Even though it's my "drinking music", I listen to it at night whether I've had anything to drink or not. A primo example is "Stars" by Hum. I love that song, but something equally as enjoyable but more lowkey is Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You". Silversun Pickups' "Lazy Eye" probably fits in here too. Here's another example, by local band Easter: "All The People That I Love The Most". Is this making sense? I hope so. Help me out, goons.

Can anyone recommend some - for lack of a better term - 'college pop'? Something along the lines of Letters to Cleo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYM2u8xl-yk I guess poppy tunes but with guitar-bass-drums instead of all synth. Bonus points for female lead singer.

Not quite what I'm looking for. More early 90s type lo-fi guitar without any electronica hints. Not that I don't already love Yeasayer (I do!), plus I really like that other album you suggested. Just doesn't fit in with what I posted. Thanks anyway!

We the American working population Hate the fact that eight hours a day Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us And we may not hate our jobs, But we hate jobs in general That don't have to do with fighting our own causes. We the American working population Hate the nine to five day-in/day-out But we'd rather be supporting ourselves By being paid to perfect the pasttimes That we have harbored based solely on the fact That it makes us smile if it sounds dope. Fumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen. Pour myself a cup of ambition. And yawn and stretch, my life is a mess, And if I never make it home today, God bless. Seems to fit the bill to me.

So I'm looking for some looking for recommendations for some new (indie-ish) bands to listen to. Things I like: The National, The Rural Alberta Advantage, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Pela, American Football, Pavement, NMH, The Antlers. Things I don't like: Anything twee or things with a high pitched male singer. So I think I'm looking for bands that have singers with fairly gravely or unusual voices that are in general of lower pitch. Songs with serious or depressing subjects is a plus. Most of the things that are in indie thread are a bit to "floaty", high pitched and in tune for my tastes but I was wondering if anyone has some bands that I should listen to.

I went for a whole bunch of male singers (with some female singers, mostly in backup), all of them have a bunch of depressing songs. Lots of low voices and some country influences. regulargonzalez please listen to early Los Campesinos!

The Future Sound of London - Dead Cities is basically the soundtrack to a nuclear apocalypse and its aftermath, though certainly more abstract in nature than a lyric oriented take like Year Zero. Personal interpretation is that track 1 is the bombs falling, and the tracks that follow describe various scenes after. GYBE - F♯ A♯ ∞ is pretty apocalyptic in tone, though it's more post-rock than rock or electronic. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Jul 2, 2013 |

Is classical music okay in here? I like Dvorak's 7th, 8th and 9th symphonies and most of Beethoven's symphonies though especially his 6th and 9th. What else might I like? the logical answer is Brahms but I don't like Brahms and I don't know why. But other suggestions? I do think I'm more inclined to symphonies rather than other works though I do like Dvorak's cello concerto.

toe knee hand posted:Is classical music okay in here? I'd suggest trying these out next, though some you may already know: Schumann's 4th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLTb7N7PHww Tchaikovsky's 6th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDqCIcsUtPI Bruckner's 4th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETC6yIi00Cc Beethoven's Triple Concerto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAFpMvggFmQ Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJTiOPJ6g28 Then, not particularly in line with the rest of the recommendations, I'll add Vaughan Williams' 5th. Not only because it's great, but also because your mention of the Dvorak Cello Concerto reminded me that I've always heard a bit of similarity in some phrasing in the first movements of this and the Dvorak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9YoEETzYsE

For the more ambient stuff, The Future Sound of London - Lifeforms and Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol 1 are probably closest. For the spacey and goa influenced tracks, Shpongle should fit the bill (start with Are You Shpongled)

Lately I've been bingeing on a band called Adebisi Shank. I love math rock of all sorts, but I am especially enamored with they way they manage to be rhytmically complex while still writing really catchy, dancy material. Best example of this is probably the end of Genki Shank. There are a couple of bands they get compared to who occasionally hit similar grooves, namely Battles and Giraffes? Giraffes! (a bit more of a stretch on that one.) Even some mathcore bands like Rolo Tomassi can hit the sorts of grooves I am looking for with their breakdowns. May be a small niche, but any help finding more hard, syncopated, and mathy grooves along those lines would be greatly appreciated. Bonus points for heaviness and/or dissonance.
