Recommend a band/album for my current playlist

[GirlinContempt]

Right now, I have some random Minor Threat, Descendants 'Fat' ep, some Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Religions first album (How Could Hell Be Any Worse), some random Perkele & I'm just throwing myself around the apartment getting ready.
Suggestions?

[GirlinContempt]

1. Just as I thought

every good band ever is already on my play list :P

[Fenris]

2. The Jesus and Mary Chain

Try "Psychocandy" if you like distorted, feedback-drenched bubblegum. ;)

[GirlinContempt]

3. I was never a big fan of them

[Fenris]

29. Go to hell and die.

:P

[RandomKoolzip]

60. I think I just fell in love.

I haaaaate the Jesus and Mary Chain with a passion. They pioneered the wimpy, whispery "I think I'm on Drugs"-style of vocalization that made college radio so boring in the late 80's. I hold them responsible for a lot of horrible music.

In other words: :thumbsup:

[GirlinContempt]

87. Why, koolzip

I, I never knew *swoon*

;)

[aquaman]

30. Don't worry fenris,

I have been a Jesus and Mary Chain since Psychocandy came out. I am with you my friend.

[jonnyblitz]

47. that is my favorite one by them. I had it when it first come out

inside a hole is a great song. :thumbsup:

[RandomKoolzip]

61. The best song I've heard in months is "I'll Believe in Anything" by

Wolf Parade. The rest of their album blows goats, however.

Have you checked out Antony and the Jonsons yet?

[asthmaticeog]

4. Got any Zeke?

Their opus "Kicked in the Teeth" is a delight, more than suitable for beaucoup battant badass.

[Omphaloskepsis]

6. I saw them about eight months ago..

The show was free.

[GirlinContempt]

7. Hmmmm nope

What else ya got for me?

[Omphaloskepsis]

5. I think Bad Religion had a self titled first..

:P

[GirlinContempt]

9. That wasn't an album, it was an ep

[Omphaloskepsis]

17. Whats the diff?

I assume EP stands for Extended Play. What is the difference? I don't know. Is it like a little longer then a single but not 12 songs?

[GirlinContempt]

18. EP + single

pretty well same thing

[ghostsofgiants]

43. An EP is usually just 5 or six tracks as kind of "filler" material...

The Mars Volta's newest album was supposed to be 5 tracks long, but their label made them split up the last song (a 30 minute track) into more tracks, so it would qualify as an LP and not an LP.

Not sure what the exact rules are these days, but here's what it says on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_play

"The term is also sometimes applied to compact discs with short playing times. However, since a CD can carry any amount of material up to around 80 minutes, the distinction between a CD EP and a short CD LP is somewhat arbitrary and is based on artistic and marketing factors. For example, EPs are usually released as a promo or as a method for an artist to release a collection of songs unfit for an album. Some artists prefer to use the term "mini-album" instead of "EP", bringing a stronger significance to the work instead of it being counted as a mere add-on to an artist's discography."

[flvegan]

8. Rise Against!!!!!!

"Siren Song of the Counter Culture" m'f'ing rocks. "Revolutions Per Minute" is awesome too.

Check it out.

[GirlinContempt]

15. hah nice

:)

[ghostsofgiants]

40. I'll second that recomendation in addition to my own

[Liberal_Andy]

10. I feel obligated to recommend The Near Myths/Wilson

'cause it's my band!

[GirlinContempt]

13. hah ok

i'll keep that in mind

[Jack_Dawson]

11. Interpol, Bloc Party

:hi:

[GirlinContempt]

14. Good suggestions

but not in the mood tonight :)

[Jack_Dawson]

33. Who is that mean person

punching some guy in the face? I'm sure I should recognize the clip...just don't.

[GirlinContempt]

34. He's not punching anyone

he's punching a printer

[Ptah]

12. I strongly recommend Jo Serrapere

I first heard her on 'A Prairie Home Companion.'

Her song starts about 9:20 into this cut:

http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/20011215/ram_files/08.ram

http://www.joserrapere.com/

[GirlinContempt]

16. What style?

[Ptah]

19. I think of her as soft blues.

Her rendition of 'You've Been A Good Old Wagon'
is one of my favorites.

:hi:

[swag]

20. Golly, the Descendants 'Fat' e.p. - I've got that on 7" vinyl.

Sounds like Flipper "Generic" album would go with all that pretty well.

But if you want to break cadence a bit, any of the early Stooges albums would be perfect.

[GirlinContempt]

21. SWAG

my fucking hero
yes yes yes yes yes





i've been drinking

[Lubernaut]

55. Flipper's "Generic" rules.

Also, get some Germs and everything that the Melvins ever recorded.

[dogfacedboy]

65. Never get out of reach of the Stooges !!! n/t

[sendero]

98. The Stooges were cool...

... but Iggy matured as a songwriter and wrote his best stuff in the late 70s :)

Damn I love Iggy. His best is an album called "New Values", which probably sold a few thousand copies :(

[driver8]

22. I wore a Minor Threat t-shirt to a Dead Kennedys show in DC, once.

I got more compliments on that shirt...I wish I still had it.

I used to work at a studio here in Los Angeles called Rumbo Recorders. Bad Religion recorded "Stranger Than Fiction" there and we got to know the guys quite well. Great guys...and very smart! Greg Graffin was working on his Ph.d at Cornell at the time.

Good playlist you've got going!!

[driver8]

23. Since I'm talking about DC -- How about some Bad Brains!!!

[GirlinContempt]

24. oooook

I am trashed. Time for me to go DJ it up.
Laters yall

[Omphaloskepsis]

27. Enjoy...

We are about to fuck up montana.. I claim that it can't be done.. The girl claims that the moral fabric can be destroyed...

[ZombieNixon]

25. Looks like my playlist.

I'd add Strung Out "An American Paradox" and "Exile In Oblivion" and Strike Anywhere "Exit English." Throw in Dropkick Murphys "Blackout" if you want something slightly happier (not too much) with bagpipes.

[Floogeldy]

26. The Ventures

Twang, twang, neer neer neer neer wah wah wah wah, dance.

;)

[mcctatas]

28. Well if you wanna go old school, I reccomend The Cramps or

The Buzzcocks. Otherwise, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly are always a safe bet, and when I'm feeling mellow I like Rufus Wainwright or The Smiths...yeah, I'm a dork.

[ghostsofgiants]

48. GiC is one person you NEVER have to recommend The Smiths to

She worships them.

[GirlinContempt]

31. ok i am back

adn even mopre drink

[SeattleGirl]

32. Queen!

[khashka]

35. Jesus And Mary Chain is good advice

but not psychocandy - the fifth sympathy is better. Or even Marilyn Manson's "Lest We Forget". It's what I'm listening to.


Or Tori Amos's "Boys For Pele"....

Khash.

[scubadude]

36. Uncel Remus, Frank Zappa

Wo, are we movin' too slow?
Have you seen us,
Uncle Remus . . .
We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do)
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
It ain't bad in the day
If they squirt it your way
'Cept in the winter, when it's froze
An' it's hard if it hits
On yer nose
On yer nose
Just keep yer nose
To the grindstone, they say
Will that redeem us,
Uncle Remus . . .
I can't wait till my Fro is full-grown
I'll just throw 'way my Doo-Rag at home
I'll take a drive to BEVERLY HILLS
Just before dawn
An' knock the little jockeys
Off the rich people's lawn
An' before they get up
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Before they get up
I'll be knocking the jockeys off the lawn
Down in the dew


Frank was all about exposing hypocrisy. It's hard
to understand from these lyrics but to see him do this
song live was sublime.

Lets knock some jockeys off rich peoples lawns...

Scuba

[iconoclastic cat]

37. Check out Arcade Fire and The Cankles

http://www.arcadefire.com/flash.html

http://www.thecankles.com/

They will both be cult favs one day, mark me.

[sakabatou]

38. The Seatbelts

[ghostsofgiants]

39. Protest The Hero - "Calculated Use Of Sound"

Maybe some Propagandhi (can't go wrong with "Less Talk, More Rock")...and if you're feeling adventurous, Gogol Bordello's "Gypsy Punk: Underdog World Strike".

[Omphaloskepsis]

42. do you have the new one yet?

Propagandhi, that is.

[ghostsofgiants]

44. I do not...

I don't know why I don't though. I'm going to get that.

[Gregorian]

41. Dinosaur Jr.

Anthrax

The new Jello/Melvins thingybob.

Yippee! :) And I'm not even drinking.

[GirlinContempt]

51. Oh man I love Dinosaur Jr

:)

[Lethe]

85. Went to see a Dinosaur Jr. concert once....

that was the loudest concert I've ever been too. By far. Ears ringing for hours afterwards.

[BigBen]

45. hows about

some good militant reggae? if you're into that type o'thing:)

burning spear "marcus garvey"
peter tosh "downpressor man"
culture "two sevens clash"

or since you sound like a punk rock chick, how about some new bomb turks?

[Elidor]

46. Euphoria

Elevator to my Soul. Delirium. The Road.

Or perhaps some Robbie Robertson. Coyote Dance. Ghost Dance. Mahk Jchi.

[Az]

49. Juno Reactor/Shango

Really, how these guys are not more famous is beyond me. Incredible rythms and beats.

[Elidor]

70. Aren't they great? I don't understand it either

Labyrinth and God is God, too.

[I Have A Dream]

50. Green Day's "American Idiot".

I haven't actually heard the entire album, but I like the songs that I heard. I like the truth that they speak.

[Dude_CalmDown]

52. Sublime.

As always.

[Strawman]

53. Electric Six

[dogfacedboy]

67. Saw them here in Chicago once. Rocked. n/t

[LincolnMcGrath]

99. I second that

[obxhead]

54. Radio Head

[Idioteque]

56. How about some Super Furry Animals?

They are a really amazing Welsh band. Since you seem to be into punk, you would probably like their earlier work . Their second album, Radiator, is great.

If you are fealing more adventurous, go for Guerrella or their new album, Love Kraft.

Also, as somebody before me suggested, no music collection is complete without some Radiohead. (Greatest band ever...ever!!)

[banjosareunderrated]

57. Mommy and Daddy are guilty fun.

with au jus sauce. :/

[leftofthedial]

58. The Bottle Rockets

Brooklyn Side

[chenGOD]

59. Some things that you might need..

FEAR - any FEAR song really
Lightning Bolt - Mohawk Windmill or Assasins

oooh and how about some Feederz...

or some Happy Flowers...

[grannylib]

62. Audioslave!!

[stlsaxman]

63. Two you might hate, but you might learn to love...

Mike Keneally- stream his music at www.radiokeneally.com

Keneally is a guitarist/pianist/vocalist/composer who spent time in Zappa's band and played for a while with Steve Vai. His stuff runs the gamut from Todd to XTC to Bacharach to Stravinski to Zappa... with radiokeneally, tune in and- if you find you don't like it- give it a few more minutes and you'll hear something completely different.

and then there's my recently re-discovered favorites: Psychedelic Furs

[bridgit]

64. LiqA1/4et...

[dogfacedboy]

66. Bible of The Devil; The Last Vegas; Gaza Strippers n/t

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

68. Damian Marley or Hint

[Tallison]

69. Primal Scream and/or Alabama 3

Try Screamadelica:




or Exile on Coldharbour Lane:

[Elidor]

71. YES!!!! Another A3 fan! I thought I was the only one!

Bless you :)

[Tallison]

77. Who could dislike country acid house rock?

Really, I think that's one of my all-time favorite albums. Heard it on NPR back in '97, '98 while on the way back to DC from Roanoke. I remember it was such a relief they were covering something besides the Lewinsky issue at the time.

I've so far given away 4 copies to various friends and am constantly proselytizing their sound. The lyrics and arrangements are so clever and catchy. I can't believe the album didn't generate more attention in music circles.

[Elidor]

80. I wish their follow-up albums had been as good

But that album is a tough act to follow. An absolute classic. I've worn out every song on it. If you have the US version, the song 'Mao Tse Tung Said' has been badly truncated. Only the UK version has the best part of the song, where Jim Jones interacts with a very sweet little old lady named Millie. I think I'll play it right now...

[Tallison]

82. I remember checking out their follow-up

a couple years ago, and it just didn't do anything for me. Can't remember what specifically, but you're right about Exile being a tough act to follow. It's a masterpiece album. Originally I had the UK version, which was stolen, then thanks to having to replace it that very day (can't go long without it), I wound up with the US. Great dance music, too, though I've never heard it played in a club!?!

:wtf:

[RedstDem]

72. Try Some Tom Waits-Rain Dogs if you can get into the blues

type crap Or modest mouse for contemporary

or not

[Angry Girl]

73. Nightweed!

Hey, just some blatant self-promo, what can I say.... B-)

There's freebie MP3's at
http://nightweed.com/freemusic.html

I love your sig file!

[Merrick]

74. Gogol Bordello

Categorized as "Gypsy Punk" they're certainly original - a blend of punk and traditional Ukranian/Balkan style gypsy music featuring an accordian and violin player. I'm actually seeing them tonight - looking forward to a rambunctious evening full of people slinging vodka, swinging from the chandeliers.

Another couple of votes for The Arcade Fire, and the most underrated hard core band ever: Neurosis

[ghostsofgiants]

81. Gogol Bordello kick ass...

I recommended them above as well.

The singer is in that new film with Elijah wood, "Everything is Illuminated" as his translator.

[afdip]

96. pyrotechnik central european avant garde - iva bittova

magnificent

[Strawman]

100. Love them

I just recently downloaded "Start Wearing Purple" and "When the Trickster Starts Walkin."

They are definitely a fun band and the instrumentation really kind of blows me away.

[Chicago Democrat]

75. Nada Surf

Cake

[Maestro]

76. Some Ill Niño or Sevendust

are two bands I have been listening to lately. Very good!

[Dave Sund]

78. Motion City Soundtrack or Against Me!

"Commit This To Memory" or "I Am The Movie"

Against Me! - "Searching For A Former Clarity," Or "As The Eternal Cowboy," or "Reinventing Axl Rose."

[lovelaureng]

79. Gorillaz, Matisyahu, or

some Coldplay. Take your pick. All are excellent.

[WCGreen]

83. The Decemberists... Blanche.... The Format....

[Strawman]

101. I'll second Blanche

I love Blanche and Goober & the Peas.

[WCGreen]

102. Blanche is so cool.....

They are never gonna make it big, but hey, they are so unique....

[Lilith Velkor]

84. Public Enemy - New Whirl Odor

It's quite excellent. "What a Fool Believes" in particular.

[Burma Jones]

86. Polyphonic Spree

For something completely different.....

[Magrittes Pipe]

88. Borghesia "Ljubav he Ladnia od Smrti"

I probably spelled that wrong.

[GirlinContempt]

89. Huh?

[Magrittes Pipe]

91. Ljubav je hladnija od smrti

A MOTHERFUCKING FANTASTIC 1984 Slovenian dark S&M dance record. If you can find a copy, you will be utterly blown away.

[GirlinContempt]

92. Slovenia?

Is that part of new Europe?

I'll take a peek around for it :P

[PittPoliSci]

90. The Vibrators

any of it.

[HuckleB]

93. Rachel's, The Bad Plus, the new Jimmie Dale Gilmore.

Spice it up a bit.

[kmla]

94. You simply must experience..........Joyce.

or Tino.

[alfredo]

95. John Vanderslice "Cellar Door."

His newest CD "Pixel Revolution" is more laid back, but still very good. Cellar Door is more overtly angry.

I've been pushing this singer for some time. He really shows promise.

Read his lyrics and see just one of his many talents.

[Initech]

97. How about some Flogging Molly?
