Name ten artists YOU have never seen mentioned on ILM.

a bunch of random ones

Oh, and in searching I read one of my earlier posts about the top ten albums of the first 2/3 of the year. Man, I sounded like a pretentious twat. Hopefully I've gotten a bit better since then.

neither The Eurythmics nor Annie Lennox
Deadweight
Trulio Disgracias
Reverend Horton Heat
Dick Hymen
Kronos Quartet
The Monks

Shame on us. :D

i don't mean to be an ass... but you'd be surprised at how many of the above HAVE been discussed here at one time or another.

sure, a band like this computer kills has probably not be talked about... but what do you expect? the fact that two of us have heard them is saying something...but not much.
m.

theres a my dad is dead thread
i started a mahler thread
julio mentions braxton all the time
ace of base has been mentioned by robin

who are that band who did 'kick the pregnant' they need to be discussed.

Macc Lads are the only GOOD band i can think of that haven't been discussed.

Karl Broadie

Split Lip Rayfield

not necessarily a bad thing

what does 27 have to do with the fact you got carried away?

anyway, as gareth pointed out there is a braxton thread (douglas started that one). go there.

there have been a couple of threads on american composers so Ives got mentioned.

If i think abt a name here it would prob be henry cowell. correct me if I'm wrong.

Would YOU read the question carefully before complaining please msp.

wahey! i just got their "Too Much Acid" 7" a couple of weeks ago. fucking classic.

I've never seen the very excellent SPRAYDOG mentioned here. Nor BEARSUIT.

"what does 27 have to do with the fact you got carried away?"
That's how carried away I got: 27-10=17. I got carried away 17 artists too much.:)

http://members.iinet.net.au/~kimheath/Dooleys/Images_1/Meet_Me/I_Spy_Sm.jpg

...unsure on a lot of these though.

Rufus Pantsraphone

what do you expect, she only has one ep!

i've never seen gaslight radio, gersey, art of fighting ('wires' is being released in the usa now i think), minimum chips, 2 litre dolby, sleepy township or ninetynine mentioned.

no one ever mentions my beloved INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY!!

DISCLAIMER - Not all of these bands may exist

i don't know.

ambrose mentioned the dylan group at some point

Which is a shame 'cos their CD "Nu Ar det Allvar!! / Voodoo Boogie" is absolutely bloody excellent!

artists that sound like Beatle's "Two of Us"

Also, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Alan Jackson, Waylon Jennings, The Louvin Brothers, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson (I & II), Robert Johnson, Jimmie Rodgers ('The Singing Brakeman'), Ike Turner, Big Joe Turner, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Ray Charles, Little Willie John, Sam Cooke, Bobby Womack, Rance Allen, Garnet Mimms, James Carr, Joe Tex, Irma Thomas, the Neville Brothers (not Gary & Phil), Professor Longhair, Thelonius Monk, Art Tatum, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Lee Morgan, Horace Silver, Lester Young, Art Pepper, Eric Dolphy, Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Smith, Alice Coltrane.

er, i was actually having a go at her lack of quality tunes rather than tunes in general..

i've never seen gaslight radio, gersey, art of fighting ('wires' is being released in the usa now i think), minimum chips, 2 litre dolby, sleepy township or ninetynine mentioned

time to discuss that melbourne music!! (this is a very indie list for you minna)

Unless they were mentioned on the best names thread and if not they should've been.

you can blame my dad for passing on the crap jokes gene.

time to discuss that melbourne music!!
ok, i started a thread

(this is a very indie list for you minna)

oh no, indie guilt! yes, i know the big playas (from three years ago). must be a hangover from reading the rest of beat other than 'play' or listening to rrr sometimes (once upon a time i was a subscriber! i succeeded chris v. as the music moderator on the rrr forum and i still am!!).

Andwella’s Dream
Big Boy Pete
Bintangs
Bow Street Runners
Crykle
Damnation of Adam Blessing
Group 1850
Indescribably Delicious
Jason Crest
Kaleidoscope

Which Kaleidoscope? The 60's Brit psychedelic Kaleidoscope, the 60's US psychedelics Kaleidoscope or the 90's trip-hop Kaleidoscope?!?

Pah! But they're nothing like as good (or obscure!) as the 60's Brit psychedelics Kaleidoscope!

I've got Dive Into Yesterday - highly recommended

There's also a 2CD set about of everything they recorded as Fairfield Parlour, including the unreleased White Faced Lady LP, but I haven't got that one.... yet....

Noel Coward, Hugh Sharpnel, Harmony Rockets, Appliance,
3LW (or any of these http://www.nick.com/music/index.jhtml ), Care, Main, Bluetile Lounge, Spoozys, Caustic Resin, Charalambides, Present, Aube, Arthur Baker, The Roches, Happy Flowers, Tackhead, 8ball&MJG, Space Negros, Ut, Ui, Perrey-Kingsley, Sue Fink, Dictators, Freur, Rita Mitsuoko, Blue Magoos, Dreamies, Audio Active, Burning Spear, Black Uhuru, Isreal Vibration, Eugene Chadbourne, Gil Melle, Todd Dockstader, Iannis Xenakis, Platters, Martika, Biff Rose, Sandy Denny, Plastic People of the Universe, Bluebells

I've got that Vels cd/record (Velocity) on my list of cds/records to get if I find it. It must have been from your recommendation.

Dan Regan--I mentioned Celebrity Skin once on a thread about bands with potential.

Here's something about Rita Mitsoukos:

Rita Mitsouko CoD (anyone heard of them?)

And then there's the White Spider:

Aimee Mann, S+D
Do you care about Aimee Mann's record label woes?
Sympathizing with Aimee Mann's boyfriend in the "Voices Carry" video - C or D?

I can't believe I've never mentioned Sue Saad and the Next, I'm pathetic!

The Coral
Negative Approach
Cranford Nix
N.Y. Loose
the Aqua Velvets
Getaway Cruiser

They had four lead singers, looked and sounded like a cross between Showaddywaddy and The Blues Brothers and I bloody loved 'em.

C'mon, there must be SOMEONE else who remembers them? Dr. C? Anyone? Help me out here, please!

Recent discovery of the ILM search facility leads me to the conclusion that Martin Skidmore is a fine man. More mentions of Garnet Mimms and Charlie Rich than any other poster.

They were the band in the file "The Mask". Saw them at Reading Festival a few years back and they were superb.

The Honkies
Sir Menelik
Flatt & Scruggs
Bill Monroe
bluegrass in general
Ahmad Jamal
Skerik

- Data (80s group masterminded by George Kajanus)

- Cosmicity (recommended to OMD fans)
- Color Theory (recommended to fans of ... um ... fluffy kittens?)
- B!Machine
and a bunch of other, admittedly less consistent, new artists on the A Different Drum label or sold through its website (www.adifferentdrum.com)

On the EBM/Industrial side of things, Daniel Myers' various bands (Haujobb, Clean, ...); fans of glitchy, minimalist techno along the lines of Farben will find A LOT to like in Haujobb's ninetynine

Does that make ten?

- Kraut
- Helix
- Virgin Prunes
- Novo Combo
- Big Pig
- I am Siam
- Babyland
- Blue in Heaven
- The Three O'Clock
- Mysterious Art

Crazy.

I can't think of 10.

OMAR SOSA

???

I just bought what I'm told is the last available copy in retail stock. Woohoo! Now if only I can find that ultra rare Idea Men album...

I was going to say Belfegore, but then I searched and like 500 posts from Alex in NYC came up (most in bold with the name repeated multiple times).

Nude Ants (not the Keith Jarret one)
Fuckin Gute Bürgerband
The Cheepskates
The Kaisers (Edinburgh)
Rue Du Soleil
Fresh Moods
Anamanaguchi
Omega (Hungary)
Maurice Pop
Ike Reiko

BONUS:

Blonde Redhead

"5 years pass..."
...wow

Er, Blonde Redhead has 10 different threads devoted to them on ILX.

Attacco Decente
Tim Keegan/Departure Lounge

Tim Keegan/Departure Lounge

Oh hell yes. Wonderful stuff, everything Tim's done is worth searching for - his solo stuff, his early stuff with Homer, and the various Departure Lounge incarnations. He's worked with The Blue Aeroplanes and Robyn Hitchcock, too. The man can flat out play.

Kiki Kikova
Bent Fabric
Billy Eckstein
LaWanda Lindsey
Peter Nero
Boris Midney
Sergio Franchi
Tammy Grimes
Teddy Grace
Teddy Wilson

There was a time in my life in the early 90s when I was part of Tim's circle of friends and used to go to pretty much all his gigs in and around London. His first band wasn't actually Homer, it was Railroad Earth who then changed their name to Ringo and produced one album, this had a great pedigree (produced by Gary Smith at Fort Apache, released by Jefferson Holt) but did precisely nothing. Ah, memories. xp

Don't have 10, but this morning (and quite a bit lately) I am listening to Four Piece Suit. 90s Boston surf-spy-lounge instro band.

Shack (Mick Head)
Lili Ivanova (Beatles cover 'the night before', Romania)
Kočani Orkestar
Sam Sacks
Alan Moorhouse
Super Moko Ultrabeaver (TRICATEL)
Sounds From The Ground
Max Melvin
Exploiting The Prophets
Miners of Muzo

Bonus:
Fay Hallam Trinity (ex- Makin' Time/Gifthorses)

Can think of one:
The Tielman Brothers

His first band wasn't actually Homer, it was Railroad Earth who then changed their name to Ringo and produced one album

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! Tim actually sent that album to me years ago and, indeed, it's shockingly uninteresting.

I'll add content to this thread:

I've only heard some Youtube clips. It seems like the only Tielman Brothers recordings available are expensive German imports.

> ― Dr X O'Skeleton, Saturday, March 20, 2010 7:30 PM

*shakes head in disbelieve*

yes, i've read something about the Prisoners and maybe the Headcoatees, but never about the Milkshakes.
Band of greatness & mystery, i still don't know if the story about the 'original Milkshakes' (dying all in a plane crash in the late 60s) is true.

The Milkshakes have definetly been mentioned. Most obviously on this thread: S/D: Billy Childish and related projects

Naked Lunch. Highly recommendable Austrian alt rock with electronica leanings.

way xpost to meisenfeck - there's loads of Shack, just do a search
eg Shack -- C/D? , Shack - ...the corner of Miles & Gil

The Coasters
Jack Thackray
Man Parrish
Flannagan & Allen
Farley Jackmaster Funk
Washboard Sam
Reese & Santonio
J B Lenoir
Jimmy Rogers
Mahotella Queens

Easy game this - just dig into any non-rock genre and the width of interests on ilm starts to look quite narrow and specialised...

Jack Thackray

Do you mean Jake Thackray here? Because he's definitely been mentioned.

Jake Thackray, 1938 - 2002

Easy game this - just dig into any non-rock genre and the width of interests on ilm starts to look quite narrow and specialised...

Especially if you dig in without using the search function.

Yeah but for the purposes of this game you're not supposed to use the search function anyway (see the rubric at the top of the thread).

Which is what makes Guy's assertion that ILM doesn't talk about non-rock stuff even stranger. Surely what he means is 'I don't read threads about non-rock genres'.

xp: oh, I didn't notice that. I get it now.

I first heard of Man Parrish on ILM!

I am annoyed that I hadn't read the Jake Thackray thread before. Thanks for pointing it out . Man Parrish has been mentioned in quite a few posts but not been given a solo spot, which says well something.

But two out of ten. Well that's 80% of a point confirmed. Probably only Reese & Santonio on my list were properly obscure, most of the others have topped charts of some sort.

And the point was? Simply that surprisingly major figures who are working in non-rock genres or predate the 1960s don't get discussed much.

We don't talk about Fall Out Boy all too much around here.

FOB's last album placed at like #44 on the 2009 poll thing

The Throbs

bewitched

(was listening to brain eraser t'other day)

Crippled Pilgrims

henzai hisato. he has a new disc -- henzai -- which is kind of a lonely, isolated, japanese take on the blues, maybe? can't find any reviews of it, either, beyond a favorable-ish writeup in the volcanic tounge record store's weekly email bulletin:

New album from spectral Japanese guitarist Hisato Higuchi, star of PSF’s Tokyo Flashback series. Higuchi takes off on Loren Connors’ concept of Venusian Blues and smudges it to the point of a distant communication across time, with sad arcs of single note sorrow weeping through layers of tape and fuzzy memories while he occasionally accompanies himself on weirdly non-gender specific whispered/half-sung vocals. Higuchi’s translation of the blues into a loner Japanese context is every bit as radical as Tatuzi Akiyama’s but while Akiyama works in a more overtly explosive/reductive style Higuchi’s focus is entirely inward, unravelling emotionally fraught tone poems from the very depth of his being. Edition of 550 copies

i kind of like what i hear in the soundscans; i'm considering downloading it. if anyone's heard of the artist or disc, opinions are greatly appreciated.

Haven't heard it, but it got just a so-so review in the Wire whose reviewer thought it was a bit of a step down from the previous one, which had some wilder and noisier moments on it iirc. Complaint about the new one was the lack of variation.

yeah, "same-y" might apply. but i kind of dig the weirdly sterile take on the blues, and the singer's wordless vocals (what looks like the press kit compares the vocals to blind willie johnson's dark is the night; obviously, that's being very -- very very very very very -- generous to higuchi's dics, but i can see the basis for comparison).

Fabulous Poodles

There's some Fab Poos discussion in the archive, mostly from me and xhuxk, I think.

Daniel, have you got L's Holy Letters? Another Japanese guy who uses Blind Willie Johnson as the start point for his stuff.

I have a hard time finding stuff using the search feature in ILM for some reason, Rudipherous. So I'm not surprised I'm wrong about the FabPoos.

don't have it. searching emusic for it now. does the artist go by "L"?

hey hey

is it good?

I haven't listened to Holy Letters in a while. Probably because it's a cd that I keep filed with my seven inch records.
I've got an edition with a bonus single and a nice picture sleeve. It is good. He's collaborated with Ben Chasny, haven't heard that.

I have a hard time finding stuff using the search feature in ILM for some reason, Rudipherous. So I'm not surprised I'm wrong about the FabPoos.

Since the thread is really about what you have never seen rather than what is there or not, that's fine. (Actually, I started this thread, but I can no longer remember what the point was, if there was any.) When searching, make sure you have it set to "posts" if you want to search posts and not just thread titles. That could be your problem.

When I was in junior high, the Fabulous Poos came to the college newspaper where he was working and he had them call me on the phone. I didn't believe it was them at first. He has a picture of himself holding up a phone, surrounded by the Fabulous Poodles. Oh man, I need to see that photo again.

That's also where he met Bob Marley, and I yelled at him for not knowing who Bob Marley was, but unfortunately I didn't get to talk to Bob Marley on the phone.

Will and the Bushmen

Friends Again

I've only been on ILM for 2 years or so (mostly just creeping on threads obv) but I'm pretty sure I've resisted name dropping The Young Sinclairs (cept maybe tangentially in a whater ye listenin to thread or something). They're some dudes making broadly labeled psych rock that's heavily (like really heavily) influenced by the 60s but they've gradually honed their sound into a 12 string led psych pop that's impossibly perfect to my ears.

I'm pretty sure they're a band that most of ILM would love (probably should've posted them in scott's west coast thread ages ago but their youtubes are mostly crappy sounding), they've got tons of melodic, (mostly) beautifully produced analog recordings but, sadly, not much 'web presence' or whatever. they remain an obscure treasure for me others that've stumbled across their vinyls. Check em out they'll make a great Christmas gift for Rickenbacker enthusiast on your list.

i've been spending more time with the weekly lists of new releases issued by two idiosyncratic record stores -- acquarius records and volcanic tounge records -- and that's led me to a bunch of artists that i don't think i've seen mentioned on ilx before.

it's nice to be reminded that there's still a lot to discover.

coincidence: i mentioned hisato higuchi in this thread; this morning, dusted magazine ran a favorable review of higuchi's new disc.

i downloaded it earlier this week. i've hardly digested it all (not really an album i can listen to in one sitting), but i like it a lot.

i kind of dig the samples.

OK, ilxor's last post was pretty funny (but where's Nate Dogg?)

Black Helicopter - was just listening to the wonderful (if a little dubious) The Good Times when the thread came up again. Not seen them mentioned.

I didn't actually know until just now that they had recorded a third album.

surprisingly, timber timbre

I saw Black Helicopter open for Killing Joke recently. Solid band but didn't grab me.

haven't seen grimes mentioned. their new album -- geidi prime -- is killer.

http://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/covers/geidi-primes.jpg

lots of dune-references in the track-titles, e.g., feyd rautha dark heart. hypnotic and cool.

I'm sure some of these have been mentioned once or twice, so I listed 12 to hedge my bets. The difficulty is that some (like Castanets) are impossible to search for without turning up thread after thread mentioning castanets rather than Castanets.

-Jack Breakfast (can't recommend this guy enough)
-Castanets
-Ill Lit
-Parker and Lily
-Lucky Jeremy
-It's a Wise Child
-Myssouri
-Mr. Wright
-Martin Coffey Racing
-Zilch
-Josh Cole and the Household
-DiskothiQ

i got into grimes when i saw her open for asobi seksu, i think it was. i dug her infinitely more than asobi, whom i'm just kinda partial to but thought the $12 ticket price good enough to engorge myself in masses of sweaty indie chix

anyways, grimes is great live. not much action (she stands, nods, but mostly stands), but sounds so so so very much like studio.

re: Grimes, the charm is about how she forgoes a mic stand for instead cradling the mic like a telephone receiver while swapping patches, turning knobs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Rabbit

Nuclear Rabbit has a large fan base despite being a perpetually underground and independent band. They are arguably one of the most well known underground bands in California, having more mainstream bands like Papa Roach, Alien Ant Farm, and Deftones opening for them.

has anyone heard of these guys. i havent and neither has anyone i know from california

they appear to be... really bad

i have never heard of nuclear rabbit. i hate their name, and i youtubed them and i agree, their music seems really irritating. they sound like what primus would sound like if instead of listening to them you had a nightmare about listening to them.

i've never seen the stupid stupid henchmen mentioned here, which is a shame, because they are geniuses.

just rediscovered this record by Finn's Motel who i know 0 about and has never been mentioned on ilm. was on a list of my favs of 2006 that i found but don't remember making.
http://open.spotify.com/album/68LTzfV4rlq0FI5GVFiw01

I've only seen Stars As Eyes mentioned in the most perfunctory fashion a handful of times. Which is a shame because I like them a lot.

Rebel Heels. My local AAA station used to play this very Eurythmics-y one, which just crossed my mind today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEuKgzOy6RE

Zero results for 'Half Moon Silver'. WTF.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdoTU_jtAE4

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

i rediscovered this track today and was surprised when google told me the only rick bain mention on ilx was in a passing mention in a brmc thread.

Not zero mentions but I heard an ace disco-era Liquid Gold song the other day and was shocked to see that they'd barely been acknowledged on the board.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_NmISTmPv0

On The Ex's label Terp: Djibril Diabete and the group Lanaya with Djibril Diabete (really good stuff from Mali)

Frank Jordan (California band from early 2000s with several records)

Here's a good one: Bachi da Pietra, who had an album on the label Die Schachtel. I think Aquarius Records raved about them. Sort of like Autistic Daughters, but Italian, bluesier, and heavier.

And maybe some other stuff on that label, such as Å.

3/4hadbeeneliminated has a few mentions here and there, but not enough for how good they are.

As a Mexican/latinamerican I can easily name 50 artists from latinamerica (with songs on spotify with over 1million plays) that have never been mentioned on ILM.

Here's one for taste:

MALUMA

Top songs on spotify

Borro Cassette 276 million plays
Felices los cuatro 216 million plays
El Perdedor 128 million plays

Pretty much any mention of him on ILM has been made by yours truly.

And we're not talking about an underground artist with >1000 plays.

Another one which I can't find any mention on ILM:

Julion Alvarez

Top songs on spotify:

El amor de su vida 57M
Pongamonos de acuerdo 45M
Afuera esta lloviendo 26M

I wont do this for every artist but you can check out numbers and mentions yourself if you care to challenge me (and I'll only go for Mexican artists):

Luis Miguel, Mijares, Emmanuel, Thalia, Caifanes, Chavela Vargas, Gran Silencio, Cristian Castro, Jose jose, Alejandro Fernandez, Vicente Fernandez, Mariachi Vargas, Los Panchos, Zoe, Plastilina Mosh, Fobia, Lost Acapulco, Zurdok, Panteon Rococo, El Tri, Sr. Bikini, Santa Sabina, Austin Tv, Angeles Azules, Control Machete, Molotov, Cafe Tacuba, Kinky, Ely Guerra, Nortec Collective, Zombies in Miami, Sussie 4, Hello Seahorse, Mexican Institute of Sound, Armando Manzanero, Yuri, Aleks Syntek, Timbiriche, Tigres del Norte, Tucanes de Tijuana, Banda Machos, El Recodo, Mana, Huracanes del norte, Conjunto Primavera, Lupillo Rivera, Julio Preciado, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Antonio Aguilar, Javier Solis, Lucha Villa...

Phew should I go on?

Very impressed about Grimes first mention on ilm was on this thread 6 years ago.

It's weird to me seeing the music made in latinamerica that ilm gets excited about and the classics that get completely ignored. Take per example:

Chancha via circuito
Genre: cumbia
Top track on spotify: sueño en paraguay (buho remix) 1.7M

Angeles Azules
Genre: cumbia
Top track on spotify: Mis sentimientos 20.8M

Guess who has more mentions on ILM?

Mike Majkowski

Not that I'm trying to be Capn Obscuro. Just happened to be listening to his latest quite striking Electroacoustic type album and used the search function, but no forthcoming Blankerty Blank chequebook and pen for ILM's experts today I'm afraid!

Fink. Mega successful artist who seems to have bypassed ILM completely. A few years ago I started a thread on him which got no replies at all.

Monolink = Steffen Linck, from Berlin, who started out as an acoustic troubadour:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4r8QwFOSGA

who then incorporated more and more electronics and is now more a DJ/guitar player mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1qUNZ_DP84

also made this one (that's been in Gui Boratto's liveset for a while now) :

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

and remixed this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13QjzAzX73M

it's not as complicated as some of the other stuff I tend to stan about here but it works, it's nice for Summer and nobody can hate this, surely?

There are only like three posts ever (and one video I posted which apparently wasn't accompanied by her name) referencing Kazumi Nikaido, which is just frankly insane. She's super amazing. She did an album with Tara Jane O'Neil! Here's that video again:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=528gtqYPO6s

Not never, strictly speaking, because there's been some evocation of 'Legend of a Cowgirl' but it has always struck me as a little weird that there's basically zero discussion of Imani Coppola on the board. She's idiosyncratic and talented and has been doing it pretty consistently for two decades but I've literally never heard a peep about her irl, either.

don't think i've ever seen anyone mention 90s indie hiphop lyrical wizard j-live. he used to be my favorite rapper until i got way into common and andre3000. i would still jam his first two albums; and especially those early singles.

Ah fuck it, what do you smell like?
