I love M83. I find myself chilling with them and listening to Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun to fall to sleep at night. I find most of their music relaxing. What other groups would I like?

M83 has come up a few times in here, and though they are an electronic act they borrow a lot from the shoegaze genre, especially the more dreamy/floaty shoegaze like Slowdive (as opposed to noisier stuff like MBV, Ride etc.). Also, look into post-rock ish stuff if you haven't already (sigur ros, explosions in the sky, mogwai).

Is Tom Waits close at all to what you have in mind?

ahaha the loving title.





Um, I came here looking for recommendations along the line of something like Black Tambourine. I've been meaning to look into that sort of late 80's early 90's noisy-pop with the driving bass, basically what Pixies epitomized. I'm going to get some J&MC soon but what else is required for this genre/era?

What are good Noise Pop/Rock groups? I've been getting into No Age recently and would like bands like them (or more hardcore noise poppy if that makes sense is fine). Dum Dum Girls is also a band I enjoy and fits that description as well I believe.

Obviously, The Jesus and Mary Chain, but also The Shop Assistants, Black Tambourine, The Manhattan Love Suicides. Sparse obvious list I know but those are the ones I enjoy within the genre I think you're going for.

My recommendation's a little weird, but I've noticed two songs that I like both use a really unique sound in their beginning. I assume it's some sort of guitar or sound technique, but I have no clue what it is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEJy5z8IqoA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO7tVypeYAo
(Both videos start with it)

And to fit this thread's criteria, what are some cool alternative songs that use this sound?

That sound isn't really what I would call 'unique' at all, it's a basic guitar tone that the Strokes the Hives and a bunch of other cool alternative groups that I'm sure others are more familiar with make heavy use of in their sound.

Last.FM does tours quite well, although it will be some extra effort to add in all your artists.

Really? Doesn't last.fm just kinda suck all of your play histories into it's brain and after loading, it immediately knows who your most played/etc are?

I have some BHS from electriclarryland backwards already, never delved into Jesus Lizard/Big Black too far but guess I will now. Lately I've been on pop/twee sort of J&MC inspired stuff like the pastels and black tambourine etc. as well as of course sonic youth. Great recs though guys, liking Shellac and Swans.

I'm a huge fan of Hot Water Music and their contemporaries. Lately I've wanted to get into their influences, namely Leatherface and Husker Du. If anyone could point towards quintessential albums or songs by those bands I would greatly appreciate it. There's simply too much material for me to figure out where to start.

"Zen Arcade" for Husker Du and "Mush" for leatherface are the 'general consensus' quintessentials, I also like New Day Rising from Husker Du and Warehouse: Songs and Stories (although that's much later Husker Du and probably not the place to start.) I don't know much else about Leatherface though.

Marquee Moon is so devastatingly dull, flaccid and lifeless that it certainly deserves its classic status right next to Led Zeppelin, Graceland and Lou Reed's solo albums. Classic. Total classic.

The idea is, I think, that Marquee Moon isn't Zep, but that's good enough.


I mean I'm totally down with that record but it's only because I'm not bored with it quite yet. Check it

Is there any worthwhile Gary Numan records between The Pleasure Principle and Jagged? These are the only two I know, and while I like certain tracks off each, both albums follow a sort of 'variations on a theme' flow where each track is very similar.

I am a big fan of poo poo like Alkaline Trio's (HAR HAR EMO) OLD stuff, such as Goddammit. I'm having a fairly hard time finding similar artists, and would appreciate a little input here. I am familiar with a few allegedly similar artists such as the Maine and Against Me!

Basically, can someone kindly point me towards some rough-sounding punk with darker themes? (yes, I am aware of the Misfits. :frog: )

going off "rough sounding punk w/ dark themes":

this is a little confusing because the misfits aren't rough sounding at all, very melodic, but maybe you'd like naked raygun? or the germs, subhumans (uk), the effigies, hot snakes, the mummies, flipper? I'm just spitballing here.

I recently listened to the Myths S/T and immediately fell in love with it and wanted something similar, but my usual scouring of last.fm and review websites yielded nothing substantial. I would love to listen to more of this just appalling electronic sound but I really don't know where to look. Any help?

I hope you get some direction on this, I've been playing that album in cycles it's so good. "Vocal acrobatics over twisted electronic music" is a weird thing to find.

I've been looking for something similar to Mint Julep for months, and I still can't find anything. Their last album and EP is fantastic and I would love to find something like this band. It's kinda dream-pop mixed with some synthpop and shoegaze. Few songs:

Mint Julep - Invisible Waves

Mint Julep - To The Sea

Mint Julep - No Letting Go

Any ideas?

earlier M83, something from saturdays=youth or before the dawn heals us.

If you really like Siamese Dream there's no reason no to get into My Bloody Valentine, specifically Loveless. SD is so heavily influenced by it it's crazy, the only thing missing are noodly pentatonic guitar solos but who gives a crap.

Could anyone give some suggestions on some experimental/ambient/noise type music? I've been listening to the same stuff for a while now and I'm looking to branch out to some new musicians or artists or whatever. I'm looking for stuff in the range of Alva Noto's albums Xerrox Vol.2 and Transform, and also like everything else by Alva Noto, Aube's track Metal Cicada, and the album The Return of Fenn O'Berg. Grooveshark, Pandora etc seem to go nutty with these artists and suggest Boards of Canada or something and make finding new stuff a bit of a bitch to do.


Complete shot in the dark on this one, but if anyone has suggestions on experimental turntablism stuff like Strotter Institute that'd also be rad, because they're pretty rad and own bones live.


Sorry if the genres don't exactly match up with the musicians, can't always tell what this poo poo counts as.

Someone from this thread http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3407937 might pop in with some specific suggestions, but you could poke around in the things posted there, seems like a lot of good stuff

What are the essential/best Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds albums?

I often ask this even though I already listen to some of the Seeds, but I think it's something like From Her to Eternity, Your Funeral My Trial, Tender Prey, and Murder Ballads making up my choice four, but others with more versed opinions might lend better insight (I haven't heard Kicking Against the Pricks, The Firstborn is Dead, or Henry's Dream).

On "Henry's Dream" at least Nick Cave with his big growly voice takes "dark country" to a new level of blackness, the first song describes a murder pretty gruesomely and I forget about the rest but maybe that? There's always Murder Ballads, too.

Agreed, you could do worse than doing a progression of Please Kill Me -> Our Band Could Be Your Life -> Rip It Up and Start it Again for what I think is an interesting time in American rock/underground/punk from 67 to about 89, something I find interesting at least. if you are in school check the music section of the library maybe for books like these, that's what I did anyhow.
