The PLASmatic Music Recomendations

[Slipknot]

Slipknot's drummer is very talented. That's more than I can say for the rest of the band though.

Joey Jordinson is indeed very talanted. I would say the vocalist Corey Taylor and the two guitarists Mick Thompson and James Root are also very talanted. But that's just my opinion.

Cat Power's new album, The Greatest, came out today. And it's good.

Been wondering about that one. I'll have to check it out, since you and I tend to have similar musical sensibilities.

The music on the new one isn't as stripped down as the rest of her stuff I'd say. More instruments...namely horns. But it still sounds like Cat Power.

i already mentioned this earlier, but you guys should check out film school's self-titled album. i think it just came out today and is a really great shoegazer-ish album. i can't stop listening to it.

Well, I wouldn't say quite fifteen years ago... unless you somehow jumped on them immediately as kids coming out with their demos. Unfortuently, you have about fifteen or so years on me. I would have been about four or so if I had heard them when you apparantly did. Good band though.

I was a heavily into tape trading back in middle and high school, if a new band came out from finland or brazil, we would find out and trade material

back then, in many countries that didn't have easily accessible albums from the bands they liked, you'd just start a band or a zine and the tape trading network would send you their albums in exchange for your albums

back then the underground meant something

I don't know if they're consistently good, but I'd never heard She Wants Revenge before last night on Jimmy Kimmel and I freaking loved the song they played. Wickedly disonant and the singer was going out of his way to do very hard, White-sounding "R"'s which I love because it sounds so weird as, probably subconsciously since the original "British Invasion", Rock singers almost always adopt a half-assed English accent, singing, say, "River" as "Riv-UH"......so it's an easy way to sound really artfully "off" and striking, saying instead "rivER".

That's pretty nifty. So you had/have one of the first Amorphis tape demo/ep's like "Disment Of Soul", or "Amorphis"? The self titled tape is pretty rare I heard. You have followed Amorphis since then right? Listened to their albums?

 

[KingOfDreams]

If you're in the mood for something psychedelic I suggest checking out (The Sounds Of) Kaleidoscope.

[Sandman138]

Architecture In Helsinki is a great, somewhat eclectic, indie pop band that you should be listenting to.

 

[sinewave]

me likey We Are Scientists - "With Love And Squalor" good old fashioned, catchy post-punk/indie-rock

 

[KingOfDreams]

I recently discovered this band called The 22-20s. If you're a fan of The White Stripes and The Black Keys you'll probably like this band. Unfortunately, they broke up recently but do have one album that was released last year.

 

[KingOfDreams]

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet but Patti Smith's album Horses is fantastic.

 

[Motown Marvel]

THE RACONTEURS....new band featuring jack white and brendan benson released their single in the UK today (to be released in the US in march). but you can hear the two songs of their single on their website. good stuff!

www.theraconteurs.com
(if you click this and it comes up saying 'the future home of the raconteurs...then enter the address without the 'www.'....weird i know, but its what you gotta do)

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Oh man, sinewave, thanks for recomending Film School, they are great.
if anyone here likes shoegazer as well, you should check out M83 and Ambulance LTD. and I think Lush has been covered.

Wow, bass. Anyway, pretty good, though I think the Stripes are more unique.

thanks. yeah, i love that film school album. i downloaded the ambulance ltd album too but i didn't like it as much. they've got a few good songs, but for some reason i didn't like the rest. they seem a little too much like britpop for my tastes. i'll have to check out m83, though.

 

[Slipknot]

Orphaned Land.

 

[KingOfDreams]

Well, I'm listening to the second song on the site now and it's much better than the first.

 

[Motown Marvel]

yeah, the stripes are defenitely more unique...but obviously jack didnt want to rehash the stripes in another band...that'd be stupid. but i defenitely dig what im hearing here and cant wait for the full length album. the band has jack white and brendan benson on guitars and vocals, and jack lawrence and patric keeler from the greenhornes on bass and drums, respectively. The Greenhornes are defenitely a band worth checking out. great stuff!

 

[I_am_budders]

The Smashup
Lovehatehero
The High Speed Scene
The F-Ups
Count the Stars
The Black Maria
