I'm becoming increasingly aware that I have stopped getting music from new bands, preferring to rely on old favourites or discovering bands who've been around a long time. Time to change this before I start getting cranky and complaining that everything else is "just noise".

If you like post-punk art music at all, I'd definitely recommend Electrelane's The Power Out and probably Lansing-Dreiden's The Incomplete Triangle (though I still haven't gotten to listen to it all the way through yet!).

Cool, I shall check it even though it may/may not be my thing. Quick round up of things I generally rate: Pavement, Tom Waits, Aphex, Plaid, Reggae, Beach Boys, some Hip-Hop, some Metal, other stuff.

that new record by joanna newsome is much better than the novelty act it has been made out to be. She plays a harp!

Another heads up for Xela. Superb stuff.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Sunday, 6 June 2004 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

A third for the Xela record.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Sunday, 6 June 2004 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Harco Pront.

Is Xela also known as John Xela who is related to the Neoouija crew? I think I might know him but i haven't heard his stuff yet.

This thread has been invaluable actually. I didn't think I'd enjoy Electralane as they do sound like a bit like a Broadcast/Stereolab rip off but the song "Valleys" is unlike anything I've ever heard.

Went to sleep listening to Disintegration Loops 1 last night. I nearly wrote it off until I read the Pitchfork article explaining a bit about what was going on in there.

Harco Pront is also unlike anything I've ever heard. 1 and a half minute blasts of blues, hip hop, electronica and punk but executed so cack-handedly you just can't bring yourself to fault it.

Animal Collective too - I've only managed to grab a track or two off of Slsk but it's pretty excellent.

Not too sure about John Vanderslice - I have to hear it again I think.

Okay, can someone tell me very briefly about Kanye West? What kind of music and are they good?

Are you serious? You never heard "Slow Jamz" or "Through the Wire" or "All Falls Down"? WOW.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 10 June 2004 08:50 (twenty-one years ago)

That last Electralane album was great!

Anyway, go here. Lots of the stuff on this label is brilliant:-

i still haven't heard 'Slow Jamz' - tho i surely have and just don't know it. i like the two other tracks mentioned tho.

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 10 June 2004 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

ok, I'll bite and answer dog latin's question. Kanye West is a he not a they. He's a hip-hop producer who's been around a few years. Most notably he produced some of the better tracks on Jay-Z's "The Blueprint". Now he's put out his own rap album "College Dropout", where he also produces every track. Reviews were positive but its a love it or hate it thing with some people. I personally think it's overrated but ok. I have it but don't get the urge to listen to it all that much.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 10 June 2004 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

dog latin, that electrelane album is pretty great indeed, one of my faves of this year (some nice motorik beats throughout the record, and 'valleys' is amazing indeed. i also like the seemingly effortless use of multile languages, makes you go 'hey' every now and then).

have you heard Superpitcher's Here Comes Love? great atmospheric album (if you skip tracks 5 and 6).

― willem (willem), Thursday, 10 June 2004 09:26 (twenty-one years ago)

You might like The Walkmen, Bows and Arrows. Got any Dillinger? 'Cocaine in my brain' and 'Funky Punk' are great tracks

― Michael B, Thursday, 10 June 2004 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Oooh, funny you should mention Dillinger. I was coming back from a free party the other week when I felt the urge to go mong about in the local record shop while the chemicals wore off. I'm browsing the second hand section and find a copy of "Say No To Drugs" by Dillinger. I which I could find a picture on line because the sleeve seemed to go so well with how I was feeling I almost nearly bought it. Sadly I didn't in the end because it was quite obvious I'd done a fair few and I was scared the clerk would laugh at me. I love "Cocaine In The Brain" and "Crabs In Me Pants" though.

Willem, yes the languages thing is ace.

I'm looking forward to tracking down a few more of these suggestions tonight. Keep 'em coming because I've decided I love new music.

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 10 June 2004 10:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe try Devendra Banhart's Rejoicing In The Hands

― mentalist (mentalist), Thursday, 10 June 2004 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)
