out of the loop... tell me what to listen to!!

[asicsgirl]

i find myself very out of the loop re music these days... who can recommend me some new stuff i might like, on the basis of the old stuff i like?? i.e.

pj harvey
orange juice
breeders
pixies
elastica (I know...)
stereolab
kelis
outkast
beastie boys
daft punk
lemon jelly
luscious jackson

thanks for any ideas!

ohh yy, like CSS, they are good. But parental control needed for some songs in front of children

oh yes - not for the ears of little ones !

Gorillaz? they have 2 very fine albums of remixes etc which I am partial too.

ha ha zippi, you're still more up to date than me! dp is into muse tho' i never quite 'got' them. tho' i did use to love strangelove!! (same kind of thing?)

several on your list ring bells - have heard bits e.g. editors, bloc party. must do my homework!

mm have heard of sleater-kinney and css tho not heard them. don't sl-k go back a while now? the guardian are v keen on css which is often a bad sign... will give them benefit of doubt as you have such sterling taste tho

fullmoon, i loved the first gorillaz albun and hated the second! haven't heard anyhtnig more recent...

will link to css !

CSS

css

didn't choose music is my hot,hot sex

ooh i like the css one!! it reminds me of some bonkers japanese stuff that dp has got. ta!!

try Gorillaz D-sides and G-sides

this makes me smile so much

I am so glad there's a music topic - hooray !

x-post again... that first css comment was for fmf's link. mm your choice is full on! definitely like the attichood!!

so great to get excited about new music again.

oh god, me too [content]

I second MGMT (as mentioned by OverMyDeadBody further down)
their album is fantastic
[ electric feel is one of my favourite tracks]]
Time to Pretend is fab too though

sorry that link didn't work

ooh like the chinese gorillaz version!

it has erhus, which i have a soft spot for having tried pretty unsuccessfully to learn to play one

I also love Bat for Lashes

you may also like Tunng. I discovered them at the Big Chill a few years ago.

i like a bit of Hot Chip too

a better Tunng track

oh god yes, Hot Chip. Smashing band. Have seen them live a few times.

oh yes bat for lashes! have been meaning to check out for ages. i can see i have to give that one a few listens. didn't like it at first but then that is my reaction to every new pj harvey album and thn i always end up loving them

have you heard any Cut Copy OMDB? I read about them somewhere and keep meaning to have a listen, they are Hot Chip-esque I believe

no, I will look them up!

Of course, there is also the Almighty Radiohead with their new album, In Rainbows
