Music recommendations

hey Katrina, if you like Jack Johnson's stuff, you should try Thicker than Water - Soundtrack

nice tunes, soft and relaxing... dont know about the movie though, but if it features "fit surfer dudes", then it suits my liking !

Juli - the German band is really good.

The Prodigy - The Dirtchamber sessions Vol.1

I think it's the best album they've produced

Edit - That 'he' produced considering it was Liam only, none of the other ponces

the new jack johnson album is really good; and if you like jack, then check out Donovan Frankenreiter - an amazing surfer, and he puts out some good tunes too...

- matt

Must say, I didn't read the whole thread (11 pages so far...). But I doubt Dream Theater is in there. Nice progressive rock metal band. Sound a bit like Metallica... but their skills are (truly) on par with a symphony, which the players composed themselves.

Eels , my latest discovery..check out the number , Novocaine For The Soul.

...theres a Dublin band called The Frames that are good - excellent live band back home

and also a new singer songwriter called Declan O'Rourke album is called 'Since Kyabram' and is well worth a spin -

check out The Frames website here:

http://www.theframes.ie

of course there's also Snow Patrol - my personal favourite [maybe someone has posted this already - sorry, i didn't read all of the posts...]

btw i went to see Oasis in concert in Dublin last saturday -

when i was a young whipper snapper i went to see oasis at the Point Depot and i luved um but to be honest seeing em on sat didn't have the same impact - i guess cause i'm 10 years older now and see the world a lot differently



but for old time sake ... it was worth it - i think we all enjoyed it for the same reasons ...

Untitled Musical Project, An - A Demonstration Compact Disc (http//www.untitled.esmartmusic.com) - Stafford represent...yo.

I thought audioscrobbler had pretty much made this thread obsolete

what's audioscribbler when it's at home?

http://www.audioscrobbler.com/

such as http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/NOFXmike/

Scrobbler's great and all, but it's more for self-gratification than anything.

Still...The Weakerthans and Dismemberment Plan.

Kudos.

the dismemberment plan opened for my band, back in 1997 or so...very cool guys, too bad they broke up...it happens

and er, thanks.

Well, audioscrobbler says what you like pretty accurately, so if you look at others lists you can get ideas of what might like...

thnx for the link
i've managed to sign up, but i can't figure out how to play the music (i thought i'd listen to some wilco)
i must be just having a bit of a blond day when it comes to techy stuff...

It's a site for keeping track of what you play and what other people similar to you (musically) play...so you can identify bands that maybe you might like...

You can't download or stream music from audioscrobbler...

there is a radio thing that's associated with it that plays things based on your list, however...never used the radio thing, too picky

Revisiting my Blues Traveler holdings. Their second album actually holds up rather well- Popper really could scat when he wanted to.

Rock on early '90s!

am currently diggin'...

Hard-Fi - Stars of CCTV
Straight up Mod/Indie with a touch of 1979, some even say The Clash

Royksopp - The Understanding
Different from the chilled-out lounge of Melody AM ...a real grower with beats and feeling

Common - Be
Gospel-tinged thanks to Kanye West's production .. real hip-hop ..no ganagsta ..no ho's, beeches, gunshots, explosions or extremely loud shaggin' on this album

heard this at the gym this morning. made me laugh out loud.

i was the only one though...

The Radio Dept. - Lesser Matters - Deliciously warm and dense record from this Swedish (At least I think they're Swedish) band. Very My Bloodz Valentine/Ride esque.

Saw 'The Last Samurai' on Sky last night - top film - highly recommended.

Tsk, tsk Jimbo, wrong thread.

@Butterbean

You weren't overwhelmed by a desire to throw your undergarments around ?

Tom does that to people apparently.

The new Supergrass album is damned great.

Well I dont know if it was mentioned already, but "BE" from Common, the latest album is just awesome. Might not be everybody's taste but try if you'd like to listen to some good hip-hop/rap!

Yeah, that's an awesome record.

Produced by Kanye West too.

Squarepusher - Ultravisitor

Bit of an acquired taste, but well worth getting into if you have the time/inclination. Squarepusher makes music that blurs all musical boundaries, and is damn hard to listen to... Where is the line between difficult and crap, where music descends into abstract noise? Squarepusher at his best transcends these questions. And he can play the bass guitar at 300+ BPM. He rocks.

Red Hot Car is an underground classic, as is Port Rhumbus (co producted with the Aphex Twin). Neither of which is on the album, but these are some of the more accessable songs.

And the video for "Come on my Selector" rocks, as does the track! Well, any video by Chris Cunningham rocks, particularly Aphex Twin's Windowlicker...

...and Come To Daddy...

Saw them both live at Glade Festival on the 18th of July... Unbelieveable.

Just listening to Felix Laband "4/4 Down the Stairs" album. Very tasty downbeat D&B. Luuuurvly just like your neighbour's sister

The new Broken Social Scene song "7/4 (Shoreline)" is fooking wonderful.

Also:

Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights = awesome awesome album.

Cody Chestnutt " The Headphone Masterpiece" is a nice chilled album, with a little naughtiness thrown in for good measure

Wow,
Just started listening to the new RJD2 album "Since we Last Spoke" and it is soooooo good.

on french import ...basically, the songs that were sampled for Massive Attack's classic Blue Lines ..called Massive Classics Volume One ...totally ace, chillun', soulful and top songs within their own right

Just listening to M. Ward's Transistor Radio, great Alt.Country record.

Anybody else listen to "Jonesy's Jukebox" online?

Indie 103.1 from Los Angeles

Mondays to Fridays 21:00-23:00 and 02:00-03:00(Tues-Sat) Munich Time.

Of Montreal's Satanic Panic in the Attic is well worth repeated listens.

Bejaysus but didnt I happen to stumble onto Sinead O Connor again recently ... for a baldy-thumb-prick-away-from-lunacy chic she made smoe great music. If you like the angst ridden tracks on "No need to argue" by the Cranberries then I reccomend you get "The Lion and the Cobra".

Got to know them from Q mag "TEST ICICLES" don't know which genre but Amazon.de says rock, alternative.

Recommended by a friend Arctic Monkeys can't find any links on Amazon so far.

Waiting for new DeUs album which will be released on Sept 12!

dEUS play Munich in November 2005
Other albums:
"The Magic Numbers" - also playing in Munich at the Atomic Café second Saturday of the Wies'n

Mclusky Do Dallas is a fine album.

MY LOVE IS BIGGER THAN YOUR LOVE, WE TAKE MORE DRUGS THAN A TOURING FUNK BAND...SING IT!

A Million in Prizes: The Anthology - Iggy Pop
Although not good for playing at work
I've just been shouting "SAVE A TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" along with "Cold Metal", think temp is now scared

Has anyone mentioned one of the most significant songwriters of today's generation ? Odds on you will soon be acquainted with RUFUS WAINWRIGHT.

I prefer his sister.

If you like post-rock kind of music then you'll probably like them "god is an astronaut" they play Munich tomorrow (Sept 14) at Salon Erna an alternative if you won't be going to Art Brut

I'm torn between Art Brut and the Manchester United game.

Hey .. if you'll decide for Man United then .. can I have ur tix? a friend of mine really wants to go but ticket is ausverkauft

I was going to get one on the door, but seeing that it's sold out...Man United at Murphys it is.
