Blazing Ownager posted:I'm looking for a bit of an odd recommendation, because it's a genre I really like and is rare as all hell: "Updated" Spaghetti Western music, mixed with another genre - most often rock, metal or industrial overtones but I'm pretty open. I realize that this isn't QUITE what you're looking for, but My Favorite Band, thinking fellers union local 282, did a quirky cover of some Morricone tracks from A Fistful of Dollars.

Zuhzuhzombie!! posted:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYr-pQ4htE Chico Buarque. This reminds me a lot of Chico Buarque. Check out his collabs with Edu Lobo and Ennio Morricone. It's definitely slightly less smoky and slightly more tropical, but I think you might dig it.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Can anyone namedrop some more bands like early era Thrice (artist in the ambulance) Thursday (War All The Time) and Senses Fail (Still Searching) ? I've been pretty interested in the genre lately I guess (google calls it "Post Hardcore"). Those guys tend to lean more to the emo side for my tastes, but if you want a primer to that kind of thick n' crunchy post-hardcore (as opposed to the watery n' tinny variant), you should get Drive Like Jehu's Yank Crime, Fugazi's Repeater, and Unwound's Leaves Turn Inside You as a helpful triptych primer. And if you like any of those albums, holy poo poo do I have a bunch of recommendations for you.

Check out Ry Cooder's Chavez Ravine and proceeding albums. They contain some lovely out-there Cooderish tracks, but for the most part they're norteno interpretations of Mexican folk music. Also, that first track sounds like more than a few Devotchka songs, so maybe give them a try?

HP Hovercraft posted:I'm looking for some more awesome MINIMAL music. I love all the classic minimalist composers like Terry Riley, La Monte Young, and Steve Reich, and I'm also into all sorts of experimental rock with minimal tendencies like Oneida, Zs, and Don Caballero, and of course I love all things krautrock. What else do you think would tickle my fancy? I don't want to bog you down with suggestions, because the suggestions you've gotten so far have been good. But, as a case study, here's three VERY good, very different contemporary albums that have a strong minimalist influence: Boris - Flood Sparks - Lil' Beethoven Jim O'Rourke - Bad Timing Three of my favorite albums, all use stasis and repetition and cyclical structure to achieve different aims. Spaciousness, irony, and tranquility, respectively. They're three very brainy albums, and I think you'll enjoy all of them.

Hey, speaking of Boris btw, can anyone recommend me some albums that sound like Heavy Rocks [I]? Specifically like some of the shorter tracks in the middle. Super loud, bassy, bursting-at-the-seams, noisy and vaguely futuristic cock rock? I'm in need of more loud fast music in my life that doesn't sound like speed metal or blooz retreads. TIA

Niggurath posted:I wonder if anyone can recommend me something similar to Mae Shi/Signals. Semi dancey but very strange electronic rock I guess? It's hard for me to describe them. This isn't a recommendation at all, but you brought up one of my favorite Bands Nobody Has Heard Of and I feel like I would be doing a disservice if I didn't point you in the direction of Mae Shi's earlier Ezra Buchla era, which sounds 100% different but is just as awesome. Terrorbird, Heartbeeps, the split w/ Rapider Than Horsepower, and to a lesser extent To Hit Armor Class 0 are all nifty glitchy spazzy noisy albums. Also it's a natural bridge to Gowns and EMA, who are both great. Like I said, not really a recommendation because you might just completely hate them. But check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOF1kV7cVVE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHE4zLeOzu4

Jandek. ~4-6 albums per year since 1980, most of them absolutely atrocious. Sounds like Derek Bailey if Derek Bailey secretly sucked at guitar instead of being secretly awesome at guitar. Ready for the House and Six and Six are actually pretty great if you're in the mood for eerie, sleepy, dissonant blues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCCmKDNKpKA He's an acquired taste.

Okard posted:So I just listened to Slint - Spiderland, and it's pretty much my favourite album at the moment. What other stuff will I like? I heard it's post-rock, but it isn't like GY!BE are the stuff I'd usually call post-rock. Like everything recommended so far is golden, but Rusty by Rodan is like a crunchier carbon copy of Spiderland, and everything by Shipping News is really really close to what that album was laying down, so if if you want some very direct recommendations there's that edit: And post-rock is a pretty commodious genre that is awfully prone to being projected upon, but there is definitely one strain that's sparse/brooding/artsy-fartsy that was popular in the 90s, and one strain that is twinkly/majestic/dramatic that's popular now-ish. I definitely prefer the former, which is why I don't get much traction out of the post-rock thread here which from numerous glances seems mostly to be about the latter. quadrophrenic fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Jan 18, 2013 |

User0015 posted:Can anyone recommend some music with 'haunting' or 'melancholy' tone. Not lyrics, but more of a general tone to the music that is depressing or full of sorrow and despair, preferably with a rock/metal theme but anything that's aggressive will work. What I'm not looking for is laid back music of any kind. There should be some aggressiveness to the music while the lyrics crush my soul. I'd offer up some examples, but I don't know of any that don't fit in the latter category. Please help! If you haven't heard Codeine, they nail the melancholy tonics and they do a great loud-soft-loud dynamic that I think you might enjoy. They're very slow and during the softer parts of their songs they have a very mellow, lethargic thing going on, but they're very good at ending the soporifics with walls of loud guitars.

So I've fallen hard for Adam and the Ants' Kings of the Wild Frontier and it's the first time that I've been so utterly addicted to an album in a long, long-rear end time, and I want more like it. Specifically like that album, and not like any other A&As/AA albums, or Bow Wow Wow or anything like that. I really like the big thunderous drumbeats and the crazy multi-layered vocal harmonies and the general deep-glammy-bombastic sound, where everything is really garish and catchy and still kinda lo-fi and intimate at the same time. I'm reasonably familiar with a lot of the artier New Wave/New Rom contemporaries, but none of them seem to sound quite as special.

I'm an EFL teacher in Taiwan and I have to write a performance for 23 Taiwanese 6-year-olds to sing. The theme is seasons, and the way my script is I really want the song for winter to be some kind of "cool" pun. Is there an age-appropriate, preferably wintry-sounding song that a bunch of non-native-speaking 6-year-olds could conceivably learn that revolves around a "cool" pun? Worse comes to worst I'll just toss a Christmas song in there, but I really would like to nail this one.

Alright, I've had a few unsuccessful requests in this thread so far, but I hope you can help me out with this one, because I've still never found a band that excites me in the jittery, noisy way that those first couple of Mae Shi records did. And I'm always searching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHE4zLeOzu4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6CbtKwbtLo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOF1kV7cVVE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7wyme5fpcw So yeah. I don't even want to hear an exact soundalike, just something with the same kind of excited, lo-fi, tense/noisy/beepy-bloopy sort of intensity about it. Help

funkybottoms posted:Ex-Models, Erase Errata, Hella, and early Boredoms (before they went all epic). others maybe worth a listen: early Gang of Four, Clinic, An Albatross, and Pere Ubu. gonna assume you're familiar with them, but since they haven't been mentioned, i love No Age. Ooooh I hate early Boredoms! I sat on that band for so long after hearing Pop Tatari and Chocolate Synth that I almost never bothered to listen to Super AE, which is still one of my favorite albums of all time. I have a love/hate thing with Hella, Gang of Four was my favorite band in high school, Pere Ubu has always struck me as more interesting and cerebral than intense and visceral, and Ex-Models is really cool. I'll check the rest of those folks out, tyvm! BTW, while youtubing Ex-Models to refresh my memory on them, I answered my own question in the recommendations: Oneida. I distinctly remember listening to Rated O for the first time and thinking "Wow, this is like Terrorbird-level cool." That's A Good Band! Hypnolobster posted:This is probably going to be a bit too much, but you could try Melt-Banana. Y'know, I remember hearing a lot of bad things about Melt-Banana before I first listened to them, then I listened to a bit of Charlie and thought it was pretty alright. I haven't listened to them since, I should give them another shot. Them youtube songs you posted are pretty crazy and I think I really like them. Hooplah posted:After checking your post history, I guess you might be familiar with all these, but check out Ponytail, early Deerhoof, Brainiac, and xbxrx. Deerhoof is a cute band that I like but I haven't heard anything earlier than Reveille. Any particular album from that area? I listened to a few Ponytail songs on youtube... that guitarist is super cool but is the singer that annoying in all of their songs? I'm a Mae Shi fan, I obviously have a high tolerance for grating singers, but I listened to "Beg Waves" and "Easy Peasy" and the singer just made me feel tired after a while.
