The Mechanical Hand posted:Hey pals. I've been looking out for some good times "jazz" music. I say jazz like that because I'm not quite sure what style of jazz "The Seatbelts" fall under (the guys who did the music for the Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack). I really dig the jazz songs from the show both crazy and frantic (like NY Rush) to the slower sad saxophone songs. That said, I don't even know where to start. I have Coltrane's "Giant Steps" and the Ellis Marsalis Quintet playing Thelonius Monk as well as Coltrane + Monk's Riverside recordings, and I enjoy those but I guess I want stuff more along the lines of what the Seatbelts do. if you're looking for stuff like The Seatbelts, you're into more big band style stuff. I know nothing about the newer Big Band scene, but checking out early stuff like Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, and Count Basie.

alright, So in the case that you like Calvin Harris you should check out things like: Kissy Sell Out, Erol Alkan, Crookers, Bloody Beatroots, Switch, Jokers Of The Scene, and pretty much all similar outfits here's a couple youtubes for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChTSR_tEXsw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V65GVn1b2k0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGGlQZp_S_Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DO6Y9_5e7A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8BzBU43gTU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obOwy4XAz2Y edit: also just bumped into my head were a few more artists: The Juan McLean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc3E696qN-c Mylo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAQ-UrcsBi0 James Figurine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjE1NpoEprY Threatis fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Aug 7, 2009 |

the posted:What, the guide? You have to admit it's a pretty extensive sampler of the varieties of electronic music. It hasn't been updated in a few years, but it's still a good introduction. i remember when he released this "updated" list about 5-6 years ago AND i remember the list before. it's incorrect on a ton of different points AND it's got genre's that down exist. Realistically, go to the DJ Megathreads in NMD and PHIZ, listen to mixes, and then, when you find an artist you like, go out and find more artists like that. edit: not to mention the guy who made it is an absolute tool.

"monkeyboydc posted:I've been listening to a lot of electronic-ish stuff lately. Bands like, MGMT, The Postal Service, Owl City, Crystal Castles (but mainly just the kinds of things they do with the synths, their lack of lyrics irritates me), Daft Punk (share the problem with lack of lyrics and repetition that I have with Crystal Castles though), Holy gently caress (lyrics would be nice), Ratatat, and all of the synthesizer work in the Yeah Yeah Yeah's new album is cool.

BluJay posted:I've been learning cello for a while now and I'm more into rock than classical, so I'm looking for more bands that feature cellists. I currently listen to Murder by Death, Cursive, GYBE!, Silver Mount Zion, and Utah, so any other stuff I can find inspiration from would be great. I would also check out the short lived DC post-emo/indie rock band Smart Went Crazy. It's a little bit more poppy than the stuff you listed, but still a loving solid band. If you have to choose between the two albums (Now We're Even and Con Art), I would personally suggest Con Art. you can check samples here: http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/1431659/a/Con+Art.htm

Thanks in advance! I automatically have to bring up Walls of Jericho. Also, if you're not just looking for straight up Metalcore, check out the old Anarcho-Punk scene. Older bands like Crass might work. Also, in the more recent world, you should check out the Vancouver Punk band Submission Hold. In the "almost unlistenable, but what you're looking for" vein, check out Atari Teenage Riot.

Sheriff Falc posted:Recommend me grunge. Any grunge. I don't mind if it's your local grogged up band that played 3 shows down at Shooters in '94 (as long as I can reasonably get a hold of the music, that is). Grunge is a pretty vague term. Grunge was basically just a term for the seattle sound of the late 80s/early 90s so you could be talking anything from almost glam metal/LA metal like Malfunkshun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REPhA79yOEk), to Riot Grrl punk like The Gits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfrhLEQ8c9c)
