Twee Pop is probably the rock/indie pop subgenre with the highest proportion of female vocals, and it's fast-paced and upbeat by design, so I think you would have good luck checking out popular/praised bands from that subgenre. The Tiger Trap song kingcobweb mentioned is part of it, and I'll add these bands for starters Camera Obscura https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3CkfvYMCWM Alvvays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXu6q-6JKjA Kero Kero Bonito https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qmwsg2pyEc The Cardigans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpaA163XaQA Heavenly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtjQiooqwsc Dolly Mixture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uogX4qtizaE Talulah Gosh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxY4Q2TmQAw Also Spiderbait isn't really twee but if you like the above stuff you'll probably enjoy at least their Janet English-sung tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD16b5wibwQ SpiritualDeath fucked around with this message at 07:40 on May 6, 2021 |

Boba Pearl posted:I also found out about Last.FM which is pretty good, though it doesn't work very well on my phone, which is sad. I used Last.FM for years and probably have over a million plays listed on there. But I stopped us ing it because it was constantly double, triple, and more playing songs. I eventually quit when it said I played some Disturbed song 50+ times in a row. I have a reputation to uphold!

I've found the Ethiopian rapper Tommy Cash to be a perfectly good substitute for Die Antwoord once their shittiness was brought out into the open. Cash has a similar vocal style to Ninja, and is also fairly ... uhhh.... out there artistically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ihsAv08Pi8 To loop back to pop/indie with female vocalists, he's has also done some stuff with Charli XCX (who Hooplah mentioned off-handedly) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxnFaq5SaqI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK3mbxs7IOU, and to Boba Pearl, I'd say check out her catalog if you're not that familiar outside of her big hits (Boom Clap and Break the Rules being the stupidly popular stuff). At this point she's doing a lot of hyperpop stuff at this point and collaborating with a ton of interesting artists, particularly queer/LGBTQ+ and poc. From listening to a bit of what you posted you liked I think you might find something agreeable in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKBCLHAq1do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-v1b9waHWY Also, Caroline Polachek (formerly of the band Chairlift) may fit the bill as well. Newer solo stuff has a sort of ethereal gothic quality without being slow and mopey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn3cHUtNZKo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYeGAD0xBTc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWSFlqBOgl8

Boba Pearl posted:Narrative songs So my taste is on the more theatre-kid side, but I'm also a fan of musical narrative. Alongside the Marina recommendation, I would definitely recommend The Scissor Sisters. They are super pop-y, but they very catchy, have campy melodies, and they're very fun to vibe to as their song structure evolves. All their albums are quality, but for you I'd specifically recommend their first two: Self titled and Ta-Dah (though I think Night Work is their best album). While they're not musical-esque in that they specifically have a plot, they're musical-esque in that they have strong, evolving hooks, and a theatrical sense of humor. If you want to feel like a hipster but still want a fun, story-based narrative, I'd recommend The Decemberists as well. Specifically, The Mariner's Revenge and The Rake's Song. Those are folksy, early 2010s, straight up plot songs, and are very fun.

This might be kind of vague, but can someone offer me some modern bands (2010 at earliest) to check out that are Megadeth-esque? I just want some modern bands that have awesome riffing, but also aren't afraid to be goofy and campy in their presentation. I want some more music that helps pump the blood and raise the endorphins.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Yea I love Oscar, I'm asking about Art Tatum though. Since a lot of his recording was in the 30s and 40s, he’s kinda one of those guys like Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington (if he stopped recording in the 50s), where the bulk of their output is compilations and a lot of it was on labels that don’t exist anymore so it’s been re-compiled posthumously. Just looking through the discography though, there’s a trio album with Lionel Hampton and Buddy Rich that might be worth trying to track down. I want to hear that myself so I’ll let you know if I can find it.

Trying to pick out a song for a fight scene animatic, It needs to have some build up and a really good lick, it can just be one good chunk out of the song, it's gonna be fast paced, it's for my webcomic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtv40bOE3U4 Rare Americans Rare Americans - Brittle Bones Nicky (Official Music Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TTqjLv0PYI OR3O Help Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfBOiOjN4Us Jeff Williams · Lamar Hall · Casey Lee Williams Falling Towards the Sky (feat. Lamar Hall & Casey Lee Williams) I'm thinking one of these 3, but I also want to hear new stuff that might work, so if you've got a piece of music that sounds like it could be good for a fight track please share! e: Or something like this but isn't you know so widely known? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMDFhjpMTEY e: Fan covers are preferable due to copyright issues Boba Pearl fucked around with this message at 05:06 on May 19, 2021 |

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Yeah, I got that recently. It's not bad but I have been so thoroughly taught culturally that "vibraphone + jazz = corny" that it's honestly hard to listen to. That's a me problem though. If you want to completely break yourself of that idea listen to Milt Jackson’s fusion-y records from the 70s. Try Sunflower. It’s Freddie Hubbard, Herbie, Billy Cobham, Ron Carter. It’s only corny if you think fusion is corny in general, and I could understand that. I don’t think milt Jackson’s playing with MJQ is corny at all, either. Lionel Hampton kinda is but it’s also foundational stuff. He was also a big touring act, much more than a recording artist.

I find I love Johnny Marr's guitar tone but I'm fairly certain that I don't want to listen the Smiths because Morrissey is a shitlord. I discovered a band called The Organ who do a great job of replicating the tone without sounding derivative. I'm familiar with Echo & the Bunnymen, Jesus & Mary Chain, and The Wedding Present (these bands were recommended by google, and I like all 3, especially the latter). Thoughts? P.S I like Modest Mouse's material with Johnny, but find his other material underwhelming El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 17:09 on May 23, 2021 |

And then the Toadies briefly got really good, and then got boring. And hey, the Monkees are the godfathers of funny rock n roll, although it was more the tv show than the music. They have some funny songs, too, and a lot of the music is way better than people give them credit for. If you want dirty folk music, listen to Oscar Brand. Warning: these songs are extremely dated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nEOACDe6qQ8 Henchman of Santa posted:Primus are hugely influenced by Zappa and The Residents and are a major part of the 90s “how did this get a major record deal?” boom with Ween and Butthole Surfers.
