Vince McMahon posted:Bit of an unusual one: I'm trying to find something like this. I've heard it described as 'jaunty jazz' but I don't have a clue where to look for something similar. Any input is appreciated. Not sure about that jaunty term. Its influenced by big band swing jazz for sure. I'd check out Dizzy Gillespie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtG5m7P56vk and Duke Ellington http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNAxjeaT0Kk Two totally different musicians from different periods of Jazz, but the 30 Rock theme has elements of both I'd say. If you're a fan of swing and have a record player, you're in luck because thrift stores across America have piles and piles of the stuff.

Do you literally have no clue about jazz? What you mentioned is a bad jazz version of a Bach piece. Check these out: Miles Davis - Round Midnight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwtN7WuOEoA Hank Mobley - Recado Bossa Nova: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEh-QvCJYi4 Thelonious Monk - Straight, No Chaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxX0-OaI5j0 All very intro level jazz stuff. If you think that this sounds like elevator music or whatever well... gently caress off.

Elder posted:Where should I start with The Kinks? I'm not familiar with them at all and their discography is huge! I'd prefer to stay away from compilations though. These 6 Kinks albums from '66 to '71 are amazing and picking up any of them would be a good idea: 1966 Face to Face 1967 Something Else by The Kinks 1968 The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society 1969 Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) 1970 Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One 1971 Muswell Hillbillies Everybody has a different favorite among these, my favorite is Village Green. Early Kinks stuff is like most other British Invasion bands in that there are a bunch of different releases in the UK and US that have the most of the same songs but in different orders and stuff. The best bet there is picking up one of the reissued CDs with like 30 tracks on them. Kinks stuff post-1971 starts to get pretty lovely and I wouldn't recommend much of it. e: If you really want to dig into their catalog the most tolerable post Muswell album is Misfits.

global tetrahedron posted:I've been listening to two bands lately that play jangly, catchy 60s or 60s esque pop, but with extreme brevity- 2 minutes is a typical length for a song. Moby Grape and the La's come to mind. Just songs that are great as they are and don't need to be any longer, I really appreciate the succinct nature of these sorts of songs: You should check out Elvis Costello's Get Happy!! album. 20 songs at just about 48 minutes. It's kind of like 60s R&B played in double-time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEZrBw6mcSM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhNcctu_ZDE

Stoicinema posted:I really like the song Kiwi Maddog 20/20 by Elliott Smith. I love Elliott Smith in general but I absolutely adore that song. It's different from many of his other songs and I'm wondering if there are any bands that play that kind of music or sound like that song i.e. Twangy country-esque guitar sound with lots of reverb, instrumental, downbeat and kind of spooky sounding. If this rings a bell please let me know. It reminds me a bit of older Calexico: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfidKiHSlbw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejW4u2X7S9A

The Ghana Soundz comps on Soundway are afrofunky goodness. These are different from Ghana Special, that's more straight highlife and Ghana Soundz is more western influenced funk. HAI mentioned Vampisoul, they do some really good African music stuff but tend to focus on single artist reissues. The Tony Allen 3xLP they reissued is particularly great. For western funk, this King Label funk comp they did is amazing: http://www.vampisoul.com/detail_cd.asp?referencia=83 The Funky 16 Corners is in my opinion one of the greatest comps ever: http://www.stonesthrow.com/funky16/corners.html Can You Dig It? The Music and Politics of Black Action Films goes into soul territory at times but it's still a good listen and the book that comes with it is really interesting: http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=17107 I've been listening to this Cult Cargo album of funk from the Bahamas a ton recently: http://numerogroup.com/catalog_detail.php?uid=00271 ShutteredIn fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Aug 7, 2010 |

A Violence Gang posted:Where will I find Bob Dylan's best recording of "I'm Not There"? The version I had came from the A Tree With Roots bootleg and the quality is... passable at best. There's only one recording of it, some of the different versions of the Basement Tapes have cleaned it up a bit but that's the best you're gonna get. Dylan really may have only sung it once ever. Cart posted:What's the best record to start with for Django Reinhardt? This is a tricky question because it's not going to be a normal "album" but one of the thousands of compilations out there. There are tons of Djangology/ie comps put out by different labels. I'd recommend checking out an acoustic compilation like this: http://www.amazon.com/Djangology-Django-Reinhardt/dp/B000069CPD/ref=pd_sim_m_4 And a later electric guitar comp like this to see which style you like better: http://www.amazon.com/Peche-Mouche-Django-Reinhardt/dp/B000008C37 ShutteredIn fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Sep 12, 2010 |

Major Isoor posted:Hey, so, I've basically been a fan of Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival since the early days of Battlefield: Vietnam, and I've semi-recently been bothered to go and see if I can find any more music like it. But, from what I've seen, (well, heard) it appears to be the only CCR song of its' 'type'; the others are all fairly different, really. What sounds differently to you about that song? Because all CCR songs pretty much sound the same.

Private Snowball posted:Can anyone recommend some Spanish or Latin bands? I like Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Gipsy Kings, Buena Vista Social Club, Soda Stereo, and Jarabe de Palo. This is pretty much like saying hey dudes recommend me some bands that sing in English. You've got Argentinian ska, rock en español, rumba and salsa listed here. Yeah some of these have similar stylistic influences but it's still a pretty huge range. I'd recommend youtubing these styles to see what else sounds like what you like and why you like it. I know poo poo all about latin rock so I can't really help you there. For salsa groups like Buena Vista you can take a jazz session players approach. Look up some of the solo albums of members (the Ibrahim Ferrer and Rubén González records are great) and then look up who played on those, etc. To confuse you further by adding more genres to this, check out Cumbia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHlS-3bvDHY Y Ranchera (dude has sold 65 million albums): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0peANtDLVdI

I know you say you're looking for more P-funk but how much of the funk staples have you explored? Isley Brothers, James Brown, Sly. That sort of thing. Also I'm not sure why you're ruling out compilations right away, there's a lot of amazing one hit wonders on comps and 70s soundtracks. Funk was much more 45s than an album genre.

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.

This list is pretty good: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/Utopus/a_young_persons_guide_to_acid_mothers_temple/ Honestly, I don't think any of their albums come close to their live shows. They have about 5000 albums under 100 different names but basically they are all Makoto Kawabata + other people. Lots of the older Melting Paraiso albums are pretty badly produced and can be tough to listen to. I think the heavier Cosmic Inferno albums are more interesting.

global tetrahedron posted:Paging Ras Het: stumbled across some comps on Spotify after making a typo (maybe you don't know anything about this? You've seemed to know a lot about comps of non-western music that's all). They are awesome recordings entitled "Anthologie De Musique _______" and are centered on various West and Central African states (Congo, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, and a few more)? The artist comes up as Jos Gansemans but that's sorta dubious especially since these are comps of huge groups of artists/performers. I can't find anything about these really on the internet. Do you know anything about these? And if you do, some similar stuff? I wish I could link to Youtubes of some of this stuff, because it is awesome. Here are some Spotify links of my favorites if nothing else: These are a Fonti Musicali project: http://www.africamuseum.be/research/publications/rmca/music http://www.fontimusicali.com/fontiHome.php They do field recordings of traditional music. Jos Gansemans is the recording engineer on that album. It looks like a ton of their stuff is on Spotify so go through their catalog and search the album titles. Neat stuff in there.
