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!

is it me or does the tunng singer sound like peter gabriel?

love the hot chip one!!!!

quite like that Tuung, rather sweet.

used to love radiohead but unfortunately it's been downhill all the way since pablo honey for me

In Rainbows has brought them back up though, trust me, if is their first bit of truly superb music for a long time.

cut copy sounds like human league to me

a bit of Cut Copy
I like!

at asicsgirl's comment!

nowt wrong with Human League

lol I just accidentally had both Gorillaz Dirty Harry and the Cut Copy Saturdays open up and play at the same time, worked really well, some succesful accidnetal mixing going on

Tunng are rather sweet, I have them in the same category as Boards of Canada. Brill sunny chilled out festival music.

no no, better than human league

dp has just told me he has had the css album for ages!!!!!! huh! don't mind me love!

i love human league

pmsl at omdb's accidental mash-up

well your dp is obviously in the loop ag...

have to go and make dinner now

you have all cheered me up so much! x x x

I may try it more often!

I have some old skool house that always works played under other tihngs, like this classic from Warp records.

hmm might have to get In Rainbows

have just purchased Saturdays from itunes!

p.s. cat yeah i know!!! tho' he mostly listens to ancient prog and radiohead. he has very good taste in wiggy out there free improv/ jazz but that's another thread entirely...

get In Rainbows. It is one of those albums that grows on you. I promise you'll be loving it after a few plays. TY at his best.

some songs sound crap until they are mashed up

like this which I find strangely compelling...

what about drugstore not still together but you might like

But this is my favourite -
Gorillaz Vs The Cure

oh ys FMF I like the gorillaz one, and that other one was strangely mesmerising, i think it was the gyrating girls

Gorillaz are so under-rated. Powerful music I find.

right, more please - I have a glass of wine, DH is at a party and the boys are in bed, so...

Anyone like Dreadzone by any chance? I have just found out they are headlining at a festie I am off too later this summer and I am very excited, they are a stupendous festival act!

I found this after zippi's suggestion.

Not sure though

white magic for lovers is the best drugstore cd

there is hardly anything youtube unfortunately but they are a niche band were
