Heatherzilla · 07-24-2007, 02:17 AM

I have about 9 gig free on my mp3 player and I need something new to listen to. Trying to broaden my musical taste so rec me anything.

Silent Hill game soundtracks and Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. Both are pretty awesome.

I'm not quite sure which bands you already know and like, so I'm just doing a general summary of bands worth looking into if you haven't already... (I must warn you, I'm a sucker for rockabilly)

The Stray Cats, Subway to Sally (esp. the songs "Sag dem Teufel" and "Kleid aus Rosen"; pure genious), Nico (albums: "Chelsea Girl" and "The Marble Index"), Xmal Deutschland, David Bowie, Dead Can Dance, The Cramps, Devics, Lacrimosa (they've got a pretty kick- ass cover of the "Phantom of the Opera" song), Neon Zoo, Shadow Project, Bone Orchard, 1919, Rubella Ballet, Danse Society, Katzenjammer Kabarett, Little Boy Blues (might be hard to get, they only released one album as far as I know), Nightingales, early Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, The Kinks - alright, I'll stop here before I start rambling too much.

What about some classical music (dare I suggest it)? Impressionistic music a la Satie/ Debussy/ Ravel/ Tchaikovskij's "Pulcinella" is great to listen to, in my opinion, and you can find many great tunes in the operas and instrumental pieces of Mozart. Other noteworthy composers are Liszt, Purcell, Haydn and Bartôk.

Sixteens, Gorgonas, Mephisto Waltz, Sopor Aeturnus... but that's just a random assortment from the top of my head. I can't recommend much without knowing at least the general direction of your musical tastes.

... I'll also throw in Clan of Xymox and Voodoo Church.

Tha Duckman · 07-24-2007, 05:37 AM

Retrospective by Suzanne Vega.

Haunted House · 07-24-2007, 09:25 AM

Rudimentary Peni, Executive Slacks, Kommunity FK, Bad Brains, Tones on Tail, Ausgang, Theatre of Hate. Thats a vrey random order, but it's how it came to me.

Also Cinema Strange and the Deadfly Ensemble are always fun.

Tha Duckman · 07-24-2007, 02:58 PM

My new EP once it's out.

Aaroneet · 07-24-2007, 03:41 PM

I was thinking of recommending Psychlon 9. On that note, try to see if you can find anything by Din Fiv. Look into Artemis, Claire Voyant, And One, Stone 588, as well as 5,000 Fingers (If you can find their songs), Laibach (Although they're pretty well-known), Merzbow, and Black Snake Moan.

badteccy · 07-24-2007, 04:32 PM

The Buzzcocks
Squirrel Nut Zippers
The Trashman-Surfin Bird
45 Grave

KontanKarite · 07-25-2007, 05:51 PM

I recomend Cobra Killers as well. This group is too cute.

Mund Auf Augen Zu is really adorable.

ne_ · 07-28-2007, 06:16 AM

Flipper
Screams for Tina
Savage Republic
Data/Bank/A
The Flowerpot Men (the electro group, not the hippie group)
Corpus Delicti (obligatory plug)

Kudos to whoever said Sopor Aeternus earlier...

honeythorn · 07-29-2007, 03:04 PM

Yeah, that's been a real pain lately. I saw Sarabands going for $60 once. $60! They're great, and it may be worth it, but I'm hoping I really never, ever lose my copy. :-(

Current 93 is good fun too. I used to blast their CD "Faust" on Halloween, and pump my porch with as many fog machines as possible. I really miss having a porch, now that I think about it. :-)

Definitely. What the hell album is "Graveyard Mary" on (besides Kallifornian Deathrock)? I have the self titled one already, but didnt know there was another.

Circle V · 07-29-2007, 06:55 PM

16 Horsepower, Woven Hand, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Aesop Rock, Slim Cessna's Auto Club. That should broaden the fuck out of your collection.

I don't own the comp, so I'm not sure where they've dug up that song from, but now I think I might just have to get it.

SFT has a another hard to find song, "Simple Addictions," on the "American Gothic" LP (hard to find, but you can prolly get it with enough digging). "Simple Addictions" is from the "Strobelight Funeral" EP, although good luck finding that. A friend who met the band said that they're actually looking for copies themselves.

Oceania combine traditional Maori instruments and language with modern sound. Also, Jaz Coleman from Killing Joke is one of their vocalists.

delicti · 07-31-2007, 07:11 AM

I should also try to plug some local guys here:

Holy Cow (these guys toured with ASF way back when)
Thomas Nola et Son Orchestre (these guys worked with DIJ on a film soundtrack)

Also, if you can find it,

Blood and Roses (get the Love Under Will EP)
Seventh Seance (get the, The Incision EP)
