music recommendations

I'm sure this wont work, but like most people I love finding new music I like finding new music.

I'd like anyone who replies to suggest a band by comparing them to another band. Please try to make the comparison make sense.....

I'll start with

If you like Wolf parade then you'll probably like Sunset Rubdown.

of course you will like Sunset if you like Wolf..considering Spencer is the main person in both bands and they basically play identical music. Thats like saying if you like Cursive you will like The Good Life.

If you want to find new music I suggest "Phishy Whatevers" on www.thereisnoradio.com saturday nights at 10pm till whenever. That guy even plays music Mojo has never heard of.

Damien Horne www.myspace.com/damienhorne

Mista D is a great CD. Look him up on iTunes.

[RhinoinMN]

Unhallowed - Execution Style.


Seriously, I liked what I heard.

[IMSlacker]

If you like Built to Spill you'll like Minus Story.

[PhishHead]

[donnie_darko]

yes phishhead, do you think most people know that though? thats the point of this thread.
let's get this back on track

yea but you are saying if you like wolf parade you will sunset. If you like one or the other you know of the existence of the other band its almost impossible not to.

I am not good at comparisons so I am just not going to name anyone.

[PhishHead]

oh here is one...

if you like Sigur Ros you should check out Mum.

[riverofpiss]

If you like QOTSA and you haven't checked out Death from Above 1979 I would recommend taking a listen. They broke up a couple years ago but what they left behind is great. Kind of a Dance/Punk thing.

If you're a fan of Deep Purple, check out Captain Beyond, Rod Evans' (was originally in Deep Purple) voice rocks me... and if you like Captain Beyond, you might also like Atomic Rooster. Similar hard/psychedelic rock sound.

[Stankfoot]

this thread is useless without YOUTUBE!

If you like SLEEP, you'll love OM.

Stoner Rock rules!

i'm going out on a limb for this one.

but if you like joy division, you might like A place to bury strangers

[Tralala]

This is the kind of thread I always end up discovering new music from.... it's the best thing about the "long tail" and music.... before u had to read in a magazine or hunt around in a record store to find something cool -- which made the choices always subject to the "gatekeeping" of editors and music store buyers and etc... -- which would lead inevitably to mediocrity and the prevalence of "poser music" -- i.e. stuff that you want to like because you think it's cool, not because you really like it. Music journalism especially creates high-profiles for really lame stuff, because journalists are always looking behind their backs, trying to profile something that they think in 2 years people will think they were cool for liking "way back when".... I GREATLY prefer the democratic nature of threads like these, where people simply list their tastes and you can just look something up on itunes or youtube and check it out for yourself....

These days I'm really into techno and techno/rock and stuff like that -- try searching for these songs:

Thomas Falke "Revolution On The Dance Floor"
Groove Cutter "My Shooter"
Control One "Just A Little Bit"
Ian Carey "Redlight"
Kevin Weg "Dead Radio"

I don't usually go for techno but these are sort of like a wierd crossover between rock and techno/trance.

Here are also some downloads with some other cool stuff too -- http://www.electricfilebox.com/tracks

If you like James Brown, you'll like Sharon Jones.

[Franklyn]

I always like to recommend the Roots. They are Phillie poets with like a James Brown or Marvin Gay band behind them.

[donnie_darko]

if you like the roots then you should definitely check out guru from gangstar's "Jazzmatazz" albums

and if you like nirvana you'll probably like the meat puppets...i'm shocked when i find how many nirvana fans have no idea who mp's are.

[TeeBone]

If you like THE METERS (and who doesn't ?) then you'll love THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS.<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rj7iP1I6PAQ&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rj7iP1I6PAQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

This whole "if you like this you'll like this"?

pandora.com

And if you dig funk, check out wefunkradio.com. You will hear something you didn't hear before.

[backinslacks]

If you like James Brown, you'll like Sharon Jones.

If you like Sharon Jones (or Amy Winehouse for that matter) you might enjoy Betty LaVette:

She's apparently been around forever.
If you like this song, she wrote her last album ("Scene of the Crime") with an Alabama group called Drive-By Truckers (NOT her touring band as seen on the Conan clip):

I always like to recommend the Roots. They are Phillie poets with like a James Brown or Marvin Gay band behind them.

Questlove from the Roots also produced the new Al Green disc, which just came out today. Word is that it's his best album in 30 years.
