album recommendations

I like the Arctic Monkeys a lot. Have you ever heard The Streets?

The Streets are good stuff, heard them back in the day with "Let's Push Things Forward", great track.

Are they emo crap? Do the people who frequent this site still listen to emo garbage?

The Streets aren't emo, there like British Rap or some shit.

And yes, people do still listen to "emo". I guess i'm one of them, but I don't sit in the corner and cry or anything, I just think some of it's pretty chill, and has a good sound.

No Josh, never heard of them, but i'll be sure to check m out! Is it indie too?

Mike Skinner is a genius! That first streets album (Original Pirate Material) was like nothing else when it came out

Seriously. I'm not a huge fan of their last album, but Original Pirate Material is excellent, especially It's Too Late and Don't Mug Yourself.

Don't Mug Yourself is tight if I remember, isn't that with a chick singer in it too? I think it was a kinda mellow song if I remember right. But, yea, good stuff

Yeah the new album was awful... too much coke heh

Elliott Smith - From A Basement On The Hill
The Postal Service - Give Up
B'z - BIG MACHINE (Japanese, I'm recommending it because in my opinion every single song on that album was great)
The Pillows - MY FOOT (Japanese, it's sort of like them going back to their roots, it sounds very good)
The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Foo Fighters - The Color And The Shape (In my opinion this album is much better than their current stuff)
Say Hi To Your Mom - Numbers and Mumbles
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous

I can probably think of more but whatevs.

Cool topic, my fav albums at the mo:

Wilco - A ghost is born
Bloc Party - A weekend in the city
Kooks - Inside in inside out
Elbow - Cast of thousands
Interpol - T.O.T.B.L

There is only Satwa.

take yer pick

Les Rallizes Dénudés - '67 - '69 Studio et Live

MARS - The Complete Studio Recordings NYC 1977-1978

The Dead C - Eusa Kills

Volcano the Bear - One Burned Ma

Cybotron - Enter

The Yips - Bonfire in a Dixie Cup

Neu! - Neu 2

Double Leopards - Double Leopards CDR

The Legendary Pink Dots - Chemical Playschool 1 + 2

M.S.B.R. - Collapseland

Listened to Les Rallizes Dénudés for the first time a couple weeks ago. They're insane.

Yeah, I listened to them for the first time not long ago either and got deeply in love, and they have such an amazing subversive history......

Their concerts were secrets, no official releases, the guy just saw the E.P.I. and got nuts and decided to make his own revolution in Japan, in the 60's, man.......

They are a perfect example of the Situationism that Tab had putted on GSM.

heh, not to mention hijacking airplanes and playing shows with speakers stacked 30 meters high.

Yeah, wow!!!

http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~ubud/index.html

It's in Japanese but at least there's tracklist and some English info about the unnoficial releases, and photos and stuff.

EDIT: http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~ubud/rallizes.html ,rather

Currently Thrashing:
The Evens - Get Evens

Brilliant angry and frustrated folk punk protest album outta DC by ex Fugazi frontman!

@Damzk:
Hey hey The Dead C from down here in lil ol New Zealand -- like a lot of our musical exports they're largely unknown in NZ but hugely respected out there.

Yeah love NZ scene, one of my favs today's band is called Armpit, but it seems they are not well known there either..

Is this Situationism not far removed from the Fluxus movement of the 50's/60's? What with their Happenings and all? I think it was Beck's grandad that created the Happenings art/drama ideology. Makes sense when you watch the video for The New Pollution.

No, Beck's grandpa was a minor figure in Fluxus.

Yes, you can relate Fluxus and Situationism.

Major figures in FLuxus were Beuys, Nam June Paik, Yoko Ono, as important contemporary artists I mean.

If any of you guys is into ska, the album Dances of Resistance by Babylon Circus is great too! I'm not a ska listener myself, but i saw this group preform live last June and i have to say that i really enjoyed it.

Listened to The Streets now btw, the singer's voice reminds me a lot of Audio Bullys.

edumacate yourselves!

Current 93 / HÖH - Island
Ulver - Blood Inside
Coil - Black Antlers
Ohgr - Sunnypsyop

Weerd Science - "Friends And Nervous Breakdowns" hasn't left my CD player in a while

Hey Pepijn, I'm not sure if I asked you already but do you have the original CD of "All Clear" by Nuuro or MP3 version? I neeeed to know.

You did, but no i'm sorry, i have MP3s.

if you want an album to sink your teeth into and discover something new everytime you listen, then go and get a copy of Brand New - The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.

I was waitin' for mojo to chime in, but I'll say it since he hasn't shown...

I'm just so into Sufjan Stevens at the moment.

I have four of his albums on constant replay.

if you like reggae then get matisyahu's youth album. great stuff imo. (yes, this was partially directed at you max).

Matisyahu is the shit, i featured his music in my Nano shot, i like Live at Stubb's best.

Im with Giraffe right now, Sufjan Stevens is amazing... such a cool sound.

but if I must recommend :

Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
The Shins - Wincing the night away
Zero 7 - The Garden
Zero 7 - Simple Things

;) check dem out.

nothing new but I just once again got really badly hooked on Frank Zappa! :)

favouritely 'Sheik Yerbouti' and 'Them or Us'

...may he rest in peace!

I'll second Tab's recommendations because Caspian and TWDY are amazing.

Also:
