Snooglebum Posted April 14, 2011 ?Hahaha, nonono! Heavens no. This will serve as both a clarification and a plug. I recently did a fan music video for a artist I like, Tobacco, who does extremely trippy music. Check it out! XzvqthUBeiY The kind of music I like is more along lines: very trippy, lots of analog synthesizers, less rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snooglebum Posted April 14, 2011 Tobacco are fucking brilliant, thanks Snooglebum. PGrL5qJF5pg I think you might also like Solar Bears: SHDAeWv-4P0 That would Tobacco is fucking brilliant, it's one guy. He's brilliant nonetheless, though. If anyone enjoyed that Tobacco track, they should check out the band he comes from, Black Moth Super Rainbow. They're ace. H52g8rZCdec Also, I felt like that Solar Bears song had potential, but it was just a little too low-key for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted April 14, 2011 Not explicitly music, but I remember some other Machine Head fans being on here. I am piss-your-pants excited. Also, Dave McClain is ridiculously talented. sVQuXyzJ7do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted April 14, 2011 Hahaha, nonono! Heavens no. This will serve as both a clarification and a plug. I recently did a fan music video for a artist I like, Tobacco, who does extremely trippy music. Well then, you can thank Merzbow for diverting any weird looks that might have been heading your way. Seriously though, I think stuff has to be pretty extreme or experimental or extremely experimental to raise an eyebrow on the Internet these days. At least, that's my experience. I don't listen to a great deal of "unlistenable" stuff like that, but Merbow does have a track called Birds and Warhorse that I do genuinely quite enjoy. That Black Moth Rainbow track is pretty good, though. I'm afraid the only analogue synth music I can think of right now is The Moog Cookbook, and they're not exactly trippy: SHPkgIPDfcE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted April 14, 2011 I have no idea if they use any actual analogue synths, but EU have a very warm sound compared to most electronic artists: http://us.7digital.com/artists/eu/warm-math Can't find any on youtube, but that album is fantastic.

DanJW Posted April 19, 2011 I'm just posting here to say I think i'm getting sick of radio again. With no TV I listen to it a lot, and goddamn the music selection is boring on BBC stations. The same stuff over and over and over. The BBC appears to be entirely in the pocket of the major record labels. But maybe that's what the listeners want. The morons. On the other hand I can't stand the abominable adverts on commercial stations and the DJ's and chat stuff is way below BBC standard too. Finally getting internet at home this week so I can blissfully go back to listening to independant internet radio stations. Ahh the absolute joy of it.

JonCole Posted April 20, 2011 For some reason, I recently rediscovered The Lonely Island's first album, Incredibad. It's probably one of the best comedy music things I've ever listened to, mostly because they're both well-written (thanks, Andy Samberg) and actually are quite good musically. Boombox is a great example... I've read plenty of commentary saying "I almost kinda wish that this was not comedic... the electronic/trance along with Julian Casablancas makes this song something I'd listen to any day." Anyways, dig this old stuff up, it's great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's kind weirdly reassuring that radio in the UK is just as banal and horrible as it is in the US. We have the exact same problem here: certain songs gets are played ad infinitum on the radio until you want the creators to burn into piles of ash.

Kolzig Posted April 26, 2011 Yeah, around here the radio channels also burn through their playlist every day. The same stuff every day, so it gets boring during day 2 already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted April 26, 2011 I'm kind of mad at myself. I really, for some ungodly reason, really enjoy the sound of punk rock, but the lyrics utterly annoy me. Solutions don't seem to exist, since punk isn't the sort of thing to have an instrumental version. Ah well. aBP6lFU-J2M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted April 27, 2011 D-d-d-d-damnit me. So I'd totally forgotten about these guys after tuning a Pandora station to almost nothing but them a couple years back. I also apparently ordered most of their discography from Amazon at some point. . . That or there's something wrong with the space-time continuum. 2n_JYkI3Y-s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted May 6, 2011 I went to the Dutch Liberation day festival in Zwolle (cause I live there!*) and it was pretty cool. Spread around that big stage were about 5 or 6 smaller stages, which I enjoyed a lot more -- generally better sound, better crowd and better music. ANYWAY, I saw this guy on one of the small stages: Kir3jsBfRCk He was pretty awesome live! Very energetic music and presence, way more than in most of the stuff I saw on youtube. Then I found out about those Take Away Shows and I found this: 6hhE_sqJG3g Wonderful idea, wonderful music. [noparse]*Don't stalk me.[/noparse]** **Or do, 's all good.

DanJW Posted May 10, 2011 As I posted in the movie thread, I went to see Attack the Block. It has a really great urban soundtrack that is both representative of the London estate setting and harks back to base heavy scores from John carpenter movies. Dubstep is slowly growing on me. It's horrible to dance to for more than ten minutes, but the film made me realise what great background music it makes. My brother, who knows more about music than me, claims this isn't real dubstep. It might be drumstep or something. Basement Jaxx describes the track as 'bagpipe dubstep'. anyway it's stuck in my head. Here it is: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nappi Posted May 10, 2011 Ahh.. post rock. I used to listen to that stuff a lot and now I'm almost completely fed up with it. I'm sure my interest will be revived one of these days. Pelican usually works for me, though. wPX9mHd0grM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Dubstep is slowly growing on me. It's horrible to dance to for more than ten minutes fucking awesome to dance to for hours at a time I despised dupstep until I tried dancing to it, then it suddenly made sense. Edit: Your brother is correct. Much as I like Basement Jaxx, that's just borrowing things from dubstep and making them much gentler. It tends to have much harsher percussion and more complex basslines: CoIZ3jWoGPA uCHptTnXKUM ha6pdeOUin8 Edited May 10, 2011 by Nachimir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
