slow_twitch posted:This may be a vague request but can anyone recommend any good 'echoey' bands? I guess the best examples would be interpol or the horrors.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq2RXSboWMs You should also look at Siouxsie and the Banshees and other post-punk goth-rock bands. Maybe Suicide. Definitely Joy Division, and this is the first and last time I will recommend Joy Division seriously.

We're going to make White Russians, dress up as famous socialists (one of my roommates will be Helen Keller), give speeches, by most importantly, we're trying to get everyone to shake their asses and dance! Gang of Four was a Marxist band with some danceable tunes. The Redskins were much more danceable, with similar topics.

I'm not hating on the music in the slightest, but that's just top 40 hip hop. Just listen to the mainstream hip hop station and you'll hear songs like those.

Yuravian posted:My roommate has a copy of Loveless, and I gave it 3 listens yesterday. I really can't get into it at all, I felt like the songs were very slow or spacey. Is there a shoegaze artist that uses more driving guitar, while still using a lot of feedback (I think it's feedback; the sort of sound at about 2:30 in 'Newport')? Swervedriver seems okay but I don't have much more than their myspace to go on. A Place To Bury Strangers, maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5VXqHARqFA

Diamond Back posted:I am taking a 5000 mile drive here in a few weeks and I need to get some good road trip music. Any advice? I am looking to expand my musical tastes anyways so recommend anything. DJ mixes! There's a thread for them both in phiz and in musician's lounge. Especially try the ones by Threatis, TheWevel, and tylertfb. But mixes are all over the place; they can fill up a long drive pretty fast and if you don't like one of them, just push next track. Also, 69 Love Songs by the magnetic fields can fill some time. Pretty self-explanatory title on that one. It would be nice to have SOME criteria though  Um, other than that, just look at the pitchfork lists of the best albums of the 70s/80s/90s/00s and get some of them at random.

Admiral Crunch posted:Looking for some recs on lo-fi/garage/punk. I've been listening to the thermals a lot lately and i realized that i have a really sparse collection when it comes to this. Im looking for stuff from any decade, just stuff in the vein of the black lips, the thermals, titus andronicus, japandroids, etc. Woo I love this stuff. First, band from the 90s to check out is The Mummies. Great garage in a punkier vein, more lo-fi as well. Going back a bit further, basically any punk band in the late 70s-early 80s is going to have the sort of sound that a lot of newer bands are imitating. If you haven't already (and you probably have), check out the first two X albums, Wipers, and a Killed By Death compilation or two. Most of those bands have been getting album-length reissues of their own lately, so there's a lot of territory there. However, I'd agree with sixteenstraws that the best place to start is the catalogue of In The Red. All of it. Thee Oh Sees are my favorite, though. Oh and The Sonics. The Sonics are the best ever and started allll this poo poo. Edit: and more! To continue my tradition of recommending riot girl bands to everyone who wants something even remotely close, try Bikini Kill's singles compilation (it's under twenty minutes), Bratmobile - The Real Janelle, and Huggy Bear - Taking the Rough with the Smooch. Pretty similar sound to what you like, but female instead of male vocals. kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Oct 27, 2009 |

The Gun Club. Garage-punk-blues-country. X. Unfortunately, not all of the melody comes through in this live version, but this is the best youtube offers. The Wipers. Not country or rockabilly-influenced like those two, but seems to fit. Mclusky. Influenced by the bands Harvest Goon posted.

Protokoll posted:I'm looking for good bands with female vocalists -- that's really the only stipulation. I'm just now realizing that 80% of my favorite bands have female singers and I'm strangely drawn to that music for some reason. Some 'older' stuff I've enjoyed is Crystal Castles, The xx, Los Campesinos!, Architecture in Helsinki, The Blow, Mates of State, etc. Bonus points if it's rock, pop, or screamo. For another thread, I made a playlist you can listen to online of my favorite girl-fronted punk, post-punk, and indie rock bands. And if THAT'S not enough, Team Dresch, and the album Penis Envy by Crass.

Oatmeal Surprise posted:I recently got the compilation "Toasted: Massive Ragga Jungle" which I really enjoyed. I would love to get into way more Ragga Jungle. I understand that it's largely a singles genre and was wondering if there are any other compilations (or even mix tapes) people would recommend? First thing you should get is the Rumble In The Jungle comp that Soul Jazz released. Then you should get Remarc - Sound Murderer. Then you should get Bizzy B - Retrospective. Then you should check out the jungle thread in PHIZ, there's shitloads of songs and mixes linked there! edit: Lee "Scratch" Perry + Mad Professor - Super Ape Inna Jungle kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Aug 23, 2010 |

They're super-noisy (which makes them fantastic but whatever), like if someone made a band based on MBV but had only heard Only Shallow.

gay til death posted:Really, really need more funk. I really like anything P-funk, Unlimited Touch, and O'bryan, I know all three of those are pretty different. A lot of synth would be preferred. As far as early 80s music like Unlimited Touch, you're probably looking more for the vague non-genre of "post-disco" more than "funk." Check out the blog Beat Electric if you want crate-dug type stuff (and it'll definitely fulfill your "lot of synth" criteria). You might also be interested in basically everything Roy Ayers breathed on in that decade (might be a bit too disco though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XgCU4bRzdQ Unrelated, and I swear this song has nothing to do with that one despite having the same title (this is an earlier 70s group I like a lot, no synths here sorry): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqlq0za7M48 god drat that song just has the sickest break ever aaaaaaaaa Also check out any compilations Salsoul released that have "funk" in the name, there's a near-certain chance they're incredible edit: just before anyone jumps on my back for not listing off the classic 70s stuff like james brown betty davis the meters sly stone, there you go, but I wanted to show you some synth stuff that is admittedly way more obscure than any of the ones I just listed. edit edit: oh, you really need Herbie Hancock but you probably have that already. kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Dec 6, 2010 |

It's also heavily percussive but sort of meditative and atmospheric.
