Title: i'm in a musical rut
Post by: chaz on February 18, 2008, 11:53:00 pm
Help me out people... I sit down late at night to do my serious listening and I need to breathe new life into the collection.  Need some new stuff.  Recommendations please?  Here's some of what i've been spinning a lot of the last 6 months or so to give you an idea of where I'm coming from...
 
 Spacemen 3
 Nick Cave
 Band of Horses
 Shins
 BJM
 High Dials
 newest Greenhornes EP (not so new now)
 BRMC
 The Clean
 
 Help please..hook a brother up.  Since the demise of Oink I'm in a big rut.
 
 Bonus points for bands that make guy who hasn't done drugs in 10 + years feel like he's on drugs.  If it bums me out I'll probably be a sucker for that too.

Off the top of my head....
 
 The new Dead Meadow has some overtones of BRMC's "Howl."
 
 Black Mountain might be considered to have some Spacemen 3 influence.
 
 Times New Viking and Working for a Nuclear Free City may be up your alley also.

Daft Punk's new live album is pretty good.  Very trippy.

You'll find a lot of that kind of music on Air Atlantic Underground Radio (http://www.live365.com/stations/airatlantic?site=live365). At least, in the general stream which is most of the air time at present. You can click on the Broadcast Schedule link at the top of the radio page to see when any specialty shows air. Only two at present, one of which does not at all fit what you may be looking for but a few others may prefer it.
 
 I'm still working on ripping and uploading lots more music but what you just described is one of the types of music that I have a strong penchant for. Bet you'll find some new music or maybe rediscover some you've left behind.
 
 Off hand, I think you'll get a kick out of the song I've got streaming by Airiel called You Kids Should Know Better. You'd probably also enjoy The December Sound for that BRMC flavor. Screen Vinyl Image too has that heavy Psychedelic drug drenched Warholesque feel. Speaking of Spacemen 3, The Darkside have a song streaming as I type. (Off-shoot band of an ex-Spacemen 3 member.) Barzin will make you cry with the song Past All Concerns. Gorgeously melancoly. Highspire has a song up called Sub Par Life, A Brillant Death (just started streaming at the moment) which is very down and druggy. I've also got a couple songs streaming by The Flies which is Sean Cook's (ex-Spiritualized and Lupine Howl) new band. Their song Lord Of The Flies I'm sure would fit exactly what you are looking for. They are sending me their latest CD so more by The Flies is due. (Not to be confused by the Garage band by the same name.) Oh, new Bauhaus too. And The Telescopes song The Perfect Needle is, well, just that.
 
 Funny how some of us use music as our drug of choice.          :D      
 
 Brian Walalce will hate it!

The new Boris and Raveonettes also make great use of the wall of sound/fuzz in completely different ways. The new Apes may also be what you're looking for psychedelic/druggy-wise.
 
 
 P.S. The combination of waffles and indietorrents has me not really missing oink that much, honestly.

 I'm playing this a lot in my car, a good mix and opening my eyes (or is that ears) to bands I haven't heard before. Kasabian comes to mind...rather Stone Roses sounding.
 
 When in a rut, go to compilations.
Title: Re: i'm in a musical rut
Post by: sweetcell on February 19, 2008, 02:46:00 pm
recently heard chez sweetcell, and recommended:
 
 Burial - Untrue (pseudo-glitch with an extra dose of schizo - very trippy)
 A Mountain of One - Collected Works (good mix of live instruments and electronica)
 AmpLive - Rainydayz (RH's In Rainbows remixed,  free (http://www.onesevensevensix.com/amplive/index.html)!)
 God Is An Astronaut - Far From Refuge (prep'ing for next month's show)
 
 will give yeasayers a spin tonight or tomorrow hopefully.  
 
 when i'm in need of a some listening suggestions, i troll through the  What Are You Listening To? (http://www.930.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=014637;p=20) thread.

Not really.....I'm good for that one song but won't be heading into the used CD store looking for a Kasabian album because I probably missed those 15 minutes anyway...

If you liked Untrue, his self-titled is a must-have. I like it a little better but they're both near-perfect. Also in that realm:
 Skull Disco's Soundboy Punishments compilation
 Distance - My Demons
 Âµ-Ziq - Duntisbourne Abbots Soulmate Devastation
 Kode9 and the Space Ape - Memories of the Future

Well, you mentioned the BJM. Between former members new bands and bands who are tight with Anton, I'd recommend
 
 Warlock - Heavy Deavy Skull Lover ( some of Bobby's best work yet IMHO)
 
 The Outcrowd - Matt Hollywood's new band ( former BJM as well)
 
 The Dilletantes - 101 Tambourines (Joel Gion,s new band) I have to admit to being skeptical of this one but it works.
 
 BJM - My Bloody Underground ( Antons latest endeavor)
 
 And then friends of the BJM
 
 Stevenson Ranch Davidians
 
 Lovetones
 
 Morning After Girls
 
 High Violets
 
 Serena Mareesh
 
 High Strung
 
 And just for shits and giggles:
 
 Adam Green - Jacket full of Danger Live

That was the band I thought of when I re-read the opening post. I've been listening to 'Passover' a LOT lately. Have played the new one a few times and it hasn't sunk in yet, but Passover is just great.
 
 Motorpsycho's 'Little Lucid Moments' is also prominent on the hi-fi lately. Sometimes they remind me of Swervedriver, sometimes of Comets on Fire.
 
 And {{{Sunset}}}'s new one is pretty good too. Reminds me a little bit of early Notwist, as its kind of spacey and twinkly, in a drone-ish sort of way. P-fork's review this morning captured its main flaw though, which is that the second half gets pretty dull.

Somewhat - finding relief in the new Nick Cave album as well as few others and - gulp - my own musical endeavors.
 
 I though the new BJM album was some serious suckage.  Sounded like something me and my friends could have come up with in the living room after too many bonghits....(note i haven't been on the business end of a bong in a looooong time).
 
 I'll have to check out the Black Angels.  Thanks for that one.  
 
 And thanks for asking GGW!
