I'm trying to throw together a playlist of alternative rap. Instead of giving you a long list of what I'm trying to avoid, let me show you the songs that have made it to the list so far so you get an idea.

Akira the Don - Hypocrite
Mister B - Hermitage Shanks
Reggie Watts - gently caress poo poo Stack
Professor Elemental - Fighting Trousers
Scroobius Pip - Letter from God to Man
Flobots - Handlebars

There seems to be a constant amongst my choices so far but wading through the torrent of profanity and poo poo to find the gems is getting tough. Anyone point out some diamonds in the rough?

While we're talking about chiptunes, I've always loved video game music but i pretty much intensely dislike chiptunes. Most of the time it just seems that the artist uses the chiptunes as a lovely gimmick for mediocre music. Like they sat down and thought they were going to make something that is chiptunes and they shoehorn themselves into the genre instead of making something original that doesn't sound like ill fitting noises awkwardly slapped on top of overused chiptune sounds.

The only chiptunes i've really liked is some stuff by big giant circles and it's still really hit or miss. I love the first half of Flicker but the second half it turns into an anticlimactic and badly done drum thing. You Can Have Mine is pretty good though. They don't make me think that it's a cheap cargo-culting of NES music like most chiptunes does.

Pretty much, is there any chiptunes that isn't a gimmick?

A little bit late on this, but I think I'm generally in the same boat as you, as far as enjoying video game music but meeting most chiptune with distaste. The one artist that was different from me was an0va. He makes chiptune music with the sensibilities of math rock, one of my favorite styles. There still is a very corny and gimmicky sound I suppose, but if you want your bleeps and bloops to happen in odd time signatures this is the project to go to.

It's my first post is this thread so if I'm doing something very wrong please let me know, but I've read the OP.

I'm a big fan of heavy accents in rock. Particularly Scottish , I love Biffy Clyro, Twin Atlantic and Sucioperro. I'm basically looking for more artists in a similar vain to satisfy my accent 'fetish'.

Also while I'm here I'd like to get into some electronic music but I've only really listed to Deadmau5 and LCD Soundsystem so where should I start?

I've gotten into a post-hardcore / prog rock kick recently and I'm looking for bands that are along the lines of Coheed and Cambria, Chiodos/D.R.U.G.S., Chiodos' album Illuminaudio (Yesterday's Rising singer), The Fall of Troy, and A Skylit Drive but not necessarily in the same genre. I'm honestly more interested in the vocals than anything else. I think the only time I ever care about the rest is if it's an instrumental track, which is kind of a shame but I can't help it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGN89b4CP-E
probably a good representation if I had to pick one song

Kind of broad, and I've been looking over Wikipedia's list of post-hardcore bands, and over some of the labels for the mentioned bands, but I think it would be good to see specific recommendations.

Aaaah, now we're talking! Hope you're still checking out this thread, because I got some recommendations for ya :)

First, check out the now-defunct band PMtoday, they should be right up your alley:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvP9jOpaDzA

Next, Closure in Moscow should also work for you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi08y-A39S0

Anthony Green's vocals should also hit the spot:

Sleeping in Sirens are pretty huge right now (skip to 1:25):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HjBq9aZ9cw

...and their lead singer is featured on this track from Pierce the Veil (also skip to 0:58):

This is pretty neat. I'm not really catching much math rock from it, but it's at least composed with more finesse than "look at castlevania music, try to copy it as much as possible."

You could also check out a bunch of other Scottish musicians like Frightened Rabbit or if you can tolerate twee/pop Belle&Sebastian, Camera Obscura, Betty and the Werewolves, Ballboy and so on for great bands with a variety in how pronounced their accents are. If you want Irish accents you can go bad pop punk with Flogging Molly and the Dropkick Murphys. Try Fight Like Apes too if you can tolerate an experimental punkish sound. Also I'm not sure on the accent, but the girl from Life Without Buildings has the most unique sounding voice I've heard.

I'm unsure what exactly I'm looking for but I'd appreciate if somebody could recommend some harder dance music? Though I'm unsure what constitutes hard or what, I know the kind of tempo I dig.

I've listened to quite a lot of the Thunderdome mixes but it gets to sounding a little samey after a time, I'd like something a little more modern. I don't mind Happy Hardcore but it's not really bassy or that fiddly though on the other hand I'm not that much into minimal stuff as, it's a little minimal (regis is pretty good though).

Even if you could point me in the direction of the right thread that'd be swell.

It's really hard to live up to BRMC when it comes to good hard rock. I basically listen to them and QotSA almost exclusively when I listen to rock. Having said that here are some things you can try.

You probably know them already, but...

Queens of the Stone Age: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcHKOC64KnE

and Black Keys (some of the time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQJA330yZV0&t=29s

And sometimes Arctic Monkeys get pretty dirty as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2cFvzmqmwc


Other than that I would suggest:

The Morning After Girls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2BLen6DHuA

The Walkmen (sometimes, sometimes not): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWR1h-5EzUo

Tapes n' Tapes have some golden stuff but you might have to dig a bit there:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcFnteqM_V0&t=94s

Same thing with Dirty on Purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz0bSrrhnsQ

Detroit Social Club would be a decent suggestion but I can't find anything that isn't terrible quality. Check out 'Universe' or 'Sunshine people' if you get a chance.

Some of Interpol's stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNBJSei0XV0
(On the same note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1aoW6nPUrc)

Some of Silversun Pickup's stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZihZAez5w0M or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oyfFAFcefk

Depending on how you feel about female singers, Sweethead...: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7sec2mpTSM

... and Yeah Yeah Yeahs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNKSuGVd7Tc

Some of Jack White's stuff is pretty dirty too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OyytKqYjkE

I feel like I want this on the list as well, Wolfmother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAShx8scZe8

...And Stone Temple Pilots' album Shangri-La Dee Da: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXXPymJi3UA

Okay I think maybe I took a few too much, guess I might as well mention Them Crooked Vultures now as well.


Also anybody who likes rock should listen to Desert Sessions - Rickshaw


Edited for formatting.

And Edit: Because I forgot Autolux, if you like that slightly Shoegaze'ey quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9WV2EXyGG0

That's it? C'mon, now... Acid Mothers Temple (and the various associated acts), Electric Moon, Can, Hawkwind, Mogwai, Shalabi Effect, Boredoms (not the early stuff), Sunburned Hand of Man, Sonic Youth (listen to the full version of "The Diamond Sea"), Comets on Fire, Spiritualized/Spacemen 3. There's a lot of ambient/drone and stoner metal-type stuff that might work, too- Sleep's Dopesmoker, Windmills by the Ocean, Isis, Sunn O))), Labradford, Stars of the Lid, Windy and Carl, Brian Eno...

Gonna recommend Porcupine Tree's Voyage 34 album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR75Qv3Mv5A

Now on the other hand if you are fine with the space theme but from a sense of the cold darkness of it, I strongly recommend the Hin portion of Trist's Hin-Fort album. My personal choice for a definitive space album. Even has some really fascinating quotes from Story Musgrave about his experiences in space.
