Music-wise, What's Your Latest Discovery?
A friend in N. Ireland just sent me a cd of a band called Muse.
I am totally blown away. The songs are really great and the musicianship of the band members is head and shoulders above 95% of what I hear on the radio (maybe partly because radio in LA sucks moose). They're sort of the midpoint between Radiohead and Queen, musically. Is anybody else a fan of this band? What's the latest music to grab you? |

I never sucked a moose, though I do like Radiohead. And you Sam are one of a kind. Please run away with me!!! |
Latest music to grab me:
Nellie McKay - mere words can not describe how odd her music is, it's just incredible. imagine, say, tori amos with a sense of humor doing early 60's style lounge jazz with a hint of eminem and you still aren't close to how this sounds. haha. Seriously, the coolest cd i can think of right now. |
Someone introduced me to The Beta Band awhile ago. Very unusual sound, but I like it. I read that they recently broke up, however.
|
Theres the publicly popular Scissor Sisters, they've got a fun sound.
The Dandy Warhols CD Welcome to the Monkey House. If you like emo, Brand New is a band I've gotten rather found of. I've had their cd for a while but only just now started really loving it. If you want just a specific song, get Okay, I believe You but my Tommy Gun Don't. I got an older CD from my girlfriend of a band she saw on a sidestage called Home Town Hero and it has become one of my all time favorite CDs. Man they rule. They have a new CD out, which you can sample on their site and it sounds no where near as good as their first, self-titled CD. I'll just go ahead and make a list of some of my favorite songs of some more recent bands (within the last two years). (softer) Rainer Maria - Long Knives or The Awful Truth of Loving Mates of State - A Duel Will Settle This Punchline - Why is he Right? Blindside - Shekina Death Cab for Cutie - Title and Registration or Expo '86. (rock) Boy Hits Car - Going to India, I am a Cloud, or As I Watch the Sun **** the Ocean Underoath - Reinventing Your Exit Blindside - Where the Sun Never Dies (heavier) Dry Kill Logic - As Thick as Thieves Hypnotic Face - The End of Sanity Vitamin F - Something (techno or hip hop) Tsunami Bros - Hands Like Bombs Infected Mushroom - Converting Vegetarians Atmopshere - The Woman With the Tattooed Hands or Don't Ever ****in' Question That |

Sucking moose is best left to the pros in LA radio anyway. Monkeypunch~ I have heard of Nellie MacKay. I tried dl-ing some of her stuff and every single file comes up empty. You're the second person to recommend her, though, so I'll see if I can find a cd. Your description sounds fun. Yoda~ never heard of those guys. I like unusual sounds, though. OG~ wow! Lots of selections. Thanks for the info! |

my cousins band The cold Black and a perfect circle, starting lines, and ozma

I knew about Muse back in 2002 ;) Great band though. Look out for the songs 'Muscle Museum', 'New born', 'Time is Running Out and 'Plug in Baby'. They're some of my fav's. Recently I have been getting into Oasis, I knew about them for a long time but never really listened to them.

Three bands in particular come to mind.
Minus the Bear - These guys are a lot of fun. Their guitars have an incredible dream like quality, as do their entire sound really. They may sound serious but with song titles such as "Monkey!!! Knife!!! Fight!!!", "Booyah Achieved", and "Hey, Wanna Throw Up?", you realize that they have a pretty good sense of humour. and 2 bands from my hometown (well sort of) Junkie Rush - Saw these guys live about a year ago and they friggin blew me away. Their sound can be described as Latin/Reggae/Metal/Funk with lots of awesome instrumental work. Lots of percussion, and their guitarist is insanely fast. Boxelder - When I first heard these guys I could hardly believe my ears. They're not a big band by any means, I don't even know if they're signed to label. Nevertheless I saw a live cd of theirs at Best Buy one day recorded in a small club in downtown Orlando, and this is one of the absolute best live albums I've ever heard. The recording quality is better than some studio recordings I've heard. Great reggae/rock band. |

Sounds like someone has similar tastes to the soundtrack of that tragically, whiningly hip Garden State, but managed to miss Iron and Wine, far and away the best band that were to appear.
Anyways, I just recently started listening to the mildly insincere Joanna Newsom, and have learned to quite enjoy that Augie March that you Aussies export. |
Looks like Casa and I have alot of the same tastes. :D

Anyways, another band to check out would be Q and not U. |
