Nachimir Posted July 28, 2009 Been taking a little trip down EDM lane today, and rediscovered this incredible track by PQM and Luke Chable Oh, yes. In a similar vein, been listening to quite a bit of randomly found minimal recently. Two tracks I like a lot: 8alQvBGMJPE PTWRoAJWZcs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted July 30, 2009 In a completely different vein, I've been in a bit of a faux-80s female-led trashy electro pop mood. I adore this so much: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2NQByp791c&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2NQByp791c&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> the perfect balance between kitchy and catchy. and <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZiUZbe-zjY&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZiUZbe-zjY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> which is wonderfully trashy and not entirely safe for work.

MrHoatzin Posted July 31, 2009 jc3ZAs17uAg Beirut (band) - Nantes (song).Band includes, among the lead dude and other capable musicians, Jeremy Barnes of the fame. :yep: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted August 1, 2009 Yay Beirut! Bought Flying Club Cup when it came out, and then was lucky enough to see them live at Sasquatch 2008. Great show. Did you get the dual-EP they put out earlier this year, March of the Zapotec? The second disc is utterly brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyroid Posted August 1, 2009 Let us inject some melancholy soundtracks into this thread. Oldboy: great soundtrack, almost-perfect film. Park Chan-Wook is an astounding director, and you should see all of his filmography stat. 1mbKjV5OChA Withnail and I, another great film and soundtrack. I hope The Rum Diary revives Bruce Robinson's career, since he kind of abandoned the movie industry after Hollywood destroyed his third film, Jennifer 8. oxCFZ0ZZGb0 MsZZcCQfgvI I thought about putting some other tracks but I don't want to spam the board.

vimes Posted August 8, 2009 I discovered today, McBess a funk/rock band (I guess ...) through the weird Wood music video featured on CgUnit cD1Rrfc0y-M and then discovered their awesome take on the main title of a movie that just got adapted to video games and got some LBP's DLC love : Vruy8P5rtYo Their youtube channel features several Guitare! pieces that are also quite nice.

Dosed Posted August 11, 2009 I can't really tell if we're in the same vein anymore as my gf is asleep and I'm using her laptop, so that means her laptop is on mute. Therefore making it impossible to recognise which vein (of the many opened up in this thread) we're in. Anywho-zzle I thought I'd share my all-time (joined with Foo Fighters - Everlong) song by Blue October: Forgive me for the FMV, I just wanted to link a good quality sounding video + some of the live videos are utterly shitty quality. These guys are a rock/classical/emo band, without the screaming shite found in most "emo" bands. Also forgive me for the overly-lengthy post and if someone has linked these guys before Just a little side note, it's surprising how many people haven't heard of Blue October. For example when I went to see them in Manchester (roughly 3 hours from my home city of Newcastle) there was roughly 500-600 people there, now I was astonished at that. Imo they are one of the most underated bands in existence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted August 11, 2009 Just a little side note, it's surprising how many people haven't heard of Blue October. ~sheepishly raises hand~ Not that I'm into Rock - or even most band music of any sort - myself, but I do like Foo Fighters, and slavishly listened to everything Curt Kobain uttered into a microphone during my teens.

vimes Posted August 18, 2009 Can't believe they also stole, I mean, adapted this one from our french repertoire. DrU-4H_FXhM Sinastra did this with Claude François, but that one is weiiiird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevsky Posted August 18, 2009 Can't believe they also stole, I mean, adapted this one from our french repertoire. Sinastra did this with Claude François, but that one is weiiiird. Wait, a cover's stealing now? Admittedly, inter-cultural adaptations like My Way/Comme d'Habitude, If You Go Away/Ne me quitte pas, Gloomy Sunday/Szomorú vasárnap are a bit closer to 'stealing' than a cover, in terms of cultural appropriation. But there used to be a real market for translated versions of songs, especially in that period (before non-English bands started doing English versions, or just singing in English anyway). And it's not like there haven't been translations of English-language songs made famous in various other countries. The process is still the same as some radical covers, anyway. And, well, for those who actually care about who writes these songs, as opposed to who performs it, the international provenance of the song is always clearly stated.

Nevsky Posted August 18, 2009 I believe that may have been sarcasm. Well, yeah, I thought so too, but the bit about Sinatra threw me completely, and thought it was time to inject some hard-nosed musical-cultural debate into this thumb.

Patters Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) So I got my Reuben "We should have gone to University" rarities album and "Racecar is Racecar backwards" vinyl, and they are both excellent.

oubliette Posted September 14, 2009 I guess I should have mentioned my podcast in this thread as opposed to the Podcast one seeing as it's all about music! Anyway, I have bought far too many records this month. I highly recommend:- Japandroids - upbeat stuff that sounds like a punk my bloody valentine Everyone Everywhere - amazing poppy indie like "Nothing Feels Good" era promise ring Empire! Empire! (I was a lonely estate!) - twinkly mineral-esque stuff Castevet - lile Cap'n Jazz, Small Brown Bike & Explosions in the sky all put in a blender Pswingset - awesome 90's sounding emo like braid etc Dude, Japan - Ace Urusei Yatsura style indie from the States The Light Sleepers - lovely Yo la Tengo/seafood soundsing stuff!

SignorSuperdouche Posted September 14, 2009 I recently picked up the 2CD version of The La's which I've been meaning to do since it came out. It's fucking incredible. Buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted September 14, 2009 At the complete different end of the spectrum from the above Very cool. It reminds me a tiny bit of Highway 420 by Do Make Say Think, although they're not all that similar. I think it's more the stalking-the-streets thing than anything else.
