Recommend A Specific Poster (Posters) An Artist Or Record

[killer b]

if you like the sonics, rutabowa will be along shortly to recommend the monks...

 

[kittyP]

That sounds like a good thing to get.

I actually didn't realise that I already had a bit of an inkling for this kinda stuff but going through it seems I do.

Its all a bit overwhelming and I too could see a bit of an obsession beginning!

I actually just PMed him as I couldn't remember the name of them.

Was listening to them last night! Being a little spangled I wasn't sure whether I thought it was great or just very confusing but I will have to get a copy.

Whatever you do then, don't look at this thread or download any of the stuff mentioned

Whilst I currently hold "36 Chambers..." as LP-perfection, I will investigate that, cheers.

You were one of the ones I had in mind, tbh. I think you might quite like it, it's got a sorta deep voiced, Wu Tang-y MC (Hell Razah, from Wu affiliate Sunz of Man) and really great, cinematic, big production from San Fran's Blue Sky Black Death.

I love it.

Yay.

Favorite ever track 'My father my king' Mogwai.
God speed you black emperor
Squarepusher
Jamie Lidell
Chumbawamba
Billy Bragg
Frank Black
White Stripes
Yeah yeah yeahs

Can I recommend múm? They're an Icelandic collective who do the calmer instrumental stuff like Mogwai, but with a slight element of Squarepusher's electronica thrown in. Recommended tracks are "Green Grass Of Tunnel" and "Sunday Night Just Keeps On Rolling".

Yes. Yes you can.

I am checking them out now.

^^ very very nice indeed.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Somebody recommend me something.

I'm not going to tell you what music I like. Makes it more of a challenge

The Battlefield Band

 

[danny la rouge]

Silly Wizard.

^^ very very nice indeed.

Aren't they? Most folk seem to stop at Bjork and Sigur Ros for Icelandic stuff, but personally I think I like múm better. Apparently the accent means it's pronounced "moom".

I love Bjork but have found most of Sigur Ros's recent stuff quite boring.

Not *quite* in the spirit of this thread but ...

Please recommend me some of the better stuff by some of the better bands/acts appearing at the End of the Road Festival (mid September) ... and maybe give me a clue who/what they're like ....

I know Jeffrey Lewis, Robin Hitchcock, Mercury Rev, Noah and the Whale, Richard Hawley, BSP and to a should-be-improved extent, Calexico -- I like all of them, but a lot of the other names are mysterious .....

ETA : Tort has recomended Devon Sproule too, after he saw her at WOMAD -- good stuff by her?

Getting an as-new (scarcely used) PC for my birthday soon, so being able to download again will soon be back on the horizon ....

 

[danny la rouge]

I don't know which of those acts you don't know, Will, but I think you'd like Shearwater. (Try to ignore the fact that Coldplay have been talking about them).

 

[pootle]

Love to hear some of your recommendations too, as I'm in quite an exploratory mood in my musical life currently.

If you like the pop and the hip hop, you should try some Kleptones - they've done a sorta remix of A Night at the Opera and renamed it "A Night at the Hip-Hopera". It has many of my favourite things in it - Queen, hip hop and samples from Ferris Buellers Day Off

And The_Reverend_M - if you haven't already heard Panacea's "The Scenic Route" then you should, sharpish. Lovely mellow hip hop.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Didn't the Kleptones do a remix album of The Flaming Lips as well ...?

Will check it out

 

[pootle]

Yeah - the did "Yoshimi Battles the Hip Hop Monster" but it's much more of an instrumental album. Nice and everything but not needing as fun as a Night at the Hip Hopera!

For Jefe, Uruguayan beat combo
Ianw, Greek garagey band (err I think that's about right.)

 

[El Jefe]

For Sojourner, Annierak, Foo, Dodgepot (at least)

Eilen (sic) Jewell (sic) - Letters From Strangers & Sinners

really really lovely album from last year - kind of country / blues / rockabilly, quite mainstream, I guess, but really really good.

This is an interesting excursion into psychedelia by a pop combo that were popular a few years back Jefe, give it a listen, you'd love it i reckon.

 

[El Jefe]

I dunno, looks a bit edgy and avant garde for me.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

I dunno, it had stereo and everything you know.

 

[El Jefe]

Stereo? Ugh - the devil's sound effect.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

aha, then this is right up your street then

(I have got this somewhere actually, its fucking fab)

danny la rouge: Hope Sandoval - Bavarian Fruit Bread

Thanks for this, by the way RAF. Good call. I've been very much enjoying it. It will now be joining my ideal Sunday morning albums, along with the likes of Harvest, Our Mother the Mountain, and Laura Cantrell.
