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.:)

...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!!

Sweet Sensation
Jack Jones
Edie Gorme
Blackgiris

Jimmy Spicer

Fotomaker

Der Blutharsch
In Gowan Ring
The Soil Bleeds Black
Paul Roland
Blood Axis
Allerseelen
Feindflug
Puissance
Von Thronstahl
Triarii

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.

the beatles
prince
kraftwerk
steely dan
kate bush
the cure
the beach boys
saint etienne
the-dream
new order/joy division

never saw this:

battlehooch.

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.

noel gallagher's high flyin' birds

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.
Co-sign on Jack Breakfast, famous Toronto book detective

can't speak to this ^^^^^^^^ but i find the dune-themed song-titles charming (shadout mapes; caladan; zoal, face dancer).

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.

'gnarly.'

They're no Nuclear Donkey

Julius Röntgen

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.

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.

cleveland band, mr gnome

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?
