Umm...OK, I'll pick something from my collection at random..."Like It's A Bad Thing" by Gary Allan - big, catchy stadium rock with a country edge to it.

You asked for suggestions, you know what they say about being careful what you wish for and all that.

 

[bristolseagull]

good thread

 

[Deductions]

You want some good music?

zona da gangsta

 

[Juan Albion]

What you really need is some excellent girlie rock:

Takes a while to get going but worth the wait methinks

Or the one and only Superchick!

Try Vampire Weekend:

Or download In Rainbows by Radiohead if you haven't already.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Justice - 'Cross'

 

[house your seagull]

the last !!! album 'myth takes' is good, straddles punk, funk and electronica with intense left field pop sensabilities ...

panda bear - 'person pitch' has got the hairs standing up too ...

and never forget disco! try Lindstroms 'late night tales' for some very nice trippy chilled out in the sun bits and bobs ...

Radio 4 last album also very good.

and ermmmm, 'giles peterson in the house' compilation on the wonderfully new directed Defected records is sounding rather lush (while you're there pick up Tiefschwarz's super 2cd mix of Defected's recently acquired Strictly Rhythm back catalogue.)

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Tiefschwartz.......f**king great. I saw them at their Berlin residency @ week12end. Utterly brilliant.

On a music tip why not join The Rounder Records album-of-the-month club. For £10 0n direct debit they will send you what they think is the most important album release that month along with a sampler of other stuff and recommendations for further listening.

I have been sent all sort of stuff I know (Hot Chip, Justice, 2 Many DJs) and some which has been a pleasant surprise 'of Montreal' and Cat Power.

If it is good an interesting music you want to get in tune with this is the thing to do.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

.....and great if you want to get out of musical ruts.

Try something from that list

 

[Buzzer]

Dengue Fever:

They're LA-based vietnamese and they play psychedelic rock. VERY VERY good.

Asobi Seksu:

Shoegazer guitars, Jap/Yank lead singer. Lots of crunching guitar sounds

The Rifles:

Local band. Big expansive guitar sound.

Miss Kittin:

Electronica at it's very best

Fannypack:

New York based hip hop outfit. Sound very NOW yet so retro. You'll love 'em

Silje Nes:

Fall in love kind of songstress. Beautiful voice.

Hafdis Huld:

See Silje Nes



How about those to be getting on with?

 

[Albion Edd]

Shy Child
Blood Red Shoes
Vampire Weekend

 

[The Face]

The Rifles

YES!!

Not a local band though.. not unless Walthamstow has strolled down the M23.

Also check out Reverend & The Makers and The Twang.

 

[Buzzer]

oops. Thought they were local. Mates sister is dating the drummer so I thought......

wrong. They are a great band though.

EDIT - got it completely wrong! The Rifles are a great band but I was thinking of The Lanes.
