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!

lol yes, you are fmf

fmf sorry
Never seen once..will look out for it.
I do like that song. we may have digressed a tad but it is all educational

watching the film takes that song from being rather nice to utterly heart-rending...

Ahem back to the task in hand.
Another belter is Fink he is on the warp label
The album is called Distance and Time and its bloody brilliant

I'm seeing a theme emerging northernsoul!

oh she's a beardy guitar groupie like me

Haha i would start linking up Public Enemy but i dont want to scare anybody off.

darling people, thank you for the music

• shit, bit Abba-resque, that!

I feel all glowy now...off to bath, bed, book.

Ooh forgot about Abba, you cant beat a bit of Fernando
Enjoy your new beardy music, i'm about to do the same.

lol

Thanks for sharing the music, has been good!

Next time let's move on from the beardy guitar tearjerkers onto more raw stuff

But no abba

Raw it will be, not a scrap of facial hair or sequinned jumpsuit in sight

thanks for the Bon Iver link - hadn't come across him before. Love Nick Drake,of course.
Am also v fond of Boo Hewerdine

just caught up with this thread

talcy i do like the new pornographers

and re dresden dolls- the lead singer looks a leetle bit the way I picture you if that's not too worrying for you

really liked the first Death Cab for Cutie song

amd going to to get me some new music...

apologies for the hijack asicsgirl....
cattisleepy...where HAVE ye been?
Love to hear from you one day....

morning all! am still working my way thru all the suggestions... thanks again

like the dresdendolls one tho' it REALLY reminds me of something... then again as martin gore once said, everything sounds like something...

the dresdendolls singer sounds like lene lovich! just showing my age now

skidoodle i'm a bit scared of portishead since their 'difficult' (i.e. downright unlistenable) 2nd album, tho' love dummy of course, even if it is inextricably linked to jack davenport in my head now lol re babies and rocksteady. ds1 used to love ska. so far ds2 (4 wks) is mainly liking steely dan!

quite interesting how all the suggestions got more mellow/ low-key as the evening went on... a bit like some parties (as if i can remember what parties are like!!!)

i would welcome some more 'raw' stuff omdb! and who mentioned public enemy? yes yes!!

I was so restrained in not just linking straight to the Levellers

my children discovered a band called yellowcard all by themselves and I'm quite proud - I would have loved them when I was 10 too...

in case you're interested

yellowcard are like tweenie version of linkin park! that's intended as a compliment

I know That's why I'm quite proud! and real gee-tars and stuff!

(from our influence they also especially love The Buzzcocks, The Levs, Dreadzone, The Doors, Chemical Brothers and Led Zep)
For themselves, they have 'discovered' the Fratellis, The Killers etc.

oh and ds1 also likes Linkin park!

asicsgirl - have you tried The Long Blondes ?

fmf you have brought your kids up well, you are right to be proud

ds1 will ask for eric dolphy to be put on... that's dp's influence tho'. my input is mostly restricted to singing mista dobolina with made up words... sad i know

mm - just looked for long blondes on youtube. shouty girls - check! jangly guitars - check! looking good so far... thanks!!

mm apropos your post from ages back (and shouty guitar-toting girls)- i'm now liking this sleater-kinney one

yes, love that one - did you see the you tube vid of them doing Rock Lobster cover ?
Different altogether but charming and very pretty is Au Revoir Simone
