[Randy Butternubs]

Anytime I hear a Dr. Dog song on the radio, I really enjoy it. Thankfully, Amazon Prime has two albums for free.

I swiped my avatar from this, so you know it's good.

New track by Sleep:

Those unfamiliar would do well to listen to this:

 

[Big McLargehuge]

It (near) the beginning of yet another beautiful Summer's day and I don't see/hear nearly enough Pavement in this thread.

Really good album I just listened to recently if you like female singer songwriters

Couldn't get the youtube link to embed, but it's Once I Was An Eagle by Laura Marling

Here we go, a couple posts I can get behind.


edit: May as well contribute to the thread. Right now I've been listening to Swans way too much. I don't expect anyone to listen to a 35 minute song, so I'll post my favorite from their 2012 album, The Seer.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

So. This needs to be listened to by more than 200 people (jam):

Here's a young Canadian band that is battling it out for some recognition. The new single, 'Let This Die,' draws a little from the radio-rock formula, but everything from Left of Centre's last album 'Hwy 21' is a good listen. Reminds me a little bit of the stoner rock/alt rock scene of the 90's and early 2000's.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

I'd kind of like to gain some indie-hipster cred, musically, but I tend to lean more towards dance-rock and more highly-energetic music (groups like Northeast Party House, Disco Ensemble, etc.). I've never been too much for the folk and lo-fi stuff.

Any suggestions for bridging the gap?

I suppose this is especially directed at Big, since he's the most progressively-minded guy around these parts.

 

[Ogrezilla]

listen to some Weezer. They are better than pretty much all of the stuff in this thread. I don't know what kind of cred they give you though.

If you use Pandora, make the genre station indie dance. If you don't try Phoenix or Two Door Cinema Club.

Two Door Cinema Club is OK, but my first impression that I think I like Tokyo Police Club better.

 

[Valarukar]

That's cool. I mean the easiest way to get into indie is to listen to indie pop, at least imo. By it's very definition it should be the most accessible. Some more popular groups I would still consider indie are The Strokes, The Killers, Spoon, The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys.

I admit, things get to be relatively esoteric in these kinds of threads, but that's the nature of sharing stuff.

I'll flip the script and share some tunes that are of the moment for me.







These songs are great. I actually hadn't heard that B-52s track before. The other two are familiar sounds that seem somehow refreshed in my mind.

I admit I find Weezer to not scratch my itch as even vintage Janet Jackson will, so maybe you should post a decent track of theirs from the past fifteen years.

Until then, I will try to up my listening cred:

 

[Valarukar]

If you don't like Weezer it doesn't mean they aren't good, it just means you probably don't like power pop.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I love power pop and I don't like Weezer.

 

[Zen Arcade]

I like when people post stuff I've never heard of.

You never know when you might stumble across something cool you might've missed otherwise.

holy ****, Pinkerton was released 18 years ago. That's definitely when they peaked. I do like the 2001 green album too.



I like this one featuring Lil Wayne too.


Also, I think its pretty clear that my musical taste has become stuck where it was when I was about 13 The other album I've been listening to again lately? Yourself or Someone Like you. Like Pinkerton, 18 years old.


I like Rob Thomas's solo stuff too. And Celebrity Skin is a great song.

I kinda dig that..

I've been dipping my toes into the whole EDM arena.. Being sick of what the radio has to offer, I'm trying to learn more about the genre/sub genre's of it. (Drum and Beat, Electro, Dubstep, Chillstep, Trance, Trap, etc). Hated techno years ago, but after a few trips to Vegas, some of the music just puts me in a good place, and I guess that's what music is all about.

Typically I like this stuff when I'm about to go out and have a good time, however one of my favorite sub-genre's is referred to as Chillstep. It's the kind of music you put on a good set of headphones on to, go into a dark room/outside under the stars, relax and let your mind take over and take a journey into yourself.

Go into a dark room, full screen this bad boy, set to 1080P and just go..

 

[H382]

As far as my "normal" musical taste goes, I love the newest Shinedown album Amaryllis. I have also stumbled across a few other bands/songs I like.

Aranda - Satisfied





Aranda - One More Time





Otherwise - Soldiers

 

[stepdad gaary]

basically this

 

[tom_servo]

Riff Raff. Now we're talkin'.

H382 - Why did I need to set my resolution to 1080 for a static image? Decent music, just wondering.

As for that EDM stuff, I like tracks that are more loopy and phase in and out different textures. Really lets me sink in, and there's enough trace of dance that it's also quite lively.

Here's an example of what I mean:





Very good headphones music here.

 

[tom_servo]

As for something more chill, perhaps you would like Darkside.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I love The Field.


Anyway, nothing new here whatsoever, but this song is hitting a little way too close to home for me right now.
