Need some new music please

[Lithos]

I like all types, but wanting something fresh and by people at the top of their game. Ie, not the usual suspects unless it is something really notable.

Ex. Kaki King and not Clapton unless it is a Clapton doing something really different.


Also something I can download fairly easily (not pirate) from places such as iTunes.

3. Very cool music

Looks like good music to sit with a glass of wine to. Will be adding it for sure to my playlist, Thanks for sharing!

2. do you like Rage Against the Machine, but wish it were a tad more funky with some hip hop?

if so, try Street Sweeper Social Club.
Boots Riley, from The Coup along with Tom Morello, yes that Tom Morello, guitarist from RATM and the Nightwatchman.

[Lithos]

4. Yes, I do

And this pretty cool. Got some serious programming to do tonight, I think I will try to add this to the playlist. Am also going to add something from "The Coup", somehow I have not listened to their stuff too!

Cool!

7. Sounds like some things I heard back in the early 70's

Little more balanced sound-wise, but the attitude matches for sure. And I think that is a good thing.

Am still listening - only on Max at this point.

16. Very British

Modern Peter Gabriel with a bit more electronic twist.

Cool beans! Will check him out more!

[Kerrytravelers]

8. Mr. kt and I are interested in the warm-up acts for Coldplay, who we're seeing in July.

The first group is Amadou et Mariam and the second one is Kitty, Daisy and Lewis. I haven't had the opportunity to listed to them yet, so tell me what you think.

[Lithos]

14. Will give them a spin tonight!

And let you know!

[mvd]

9. Here's a big list

If you want to know more about them, let me know. :hi:

Some newer discoveries:

Grizzly Bear, Au Revoir Simone, The Antennas, Dirty Projectors, Francisca London, Hey Monday, Great Northern, The Low Anthem, Phoenix, Gloriana, Tinted Windows, Kelsey And The Chaos, Desario, Kaci Battaglia, Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta (from American Idol)

Other discoveries (newer music from the last few years):

A Fine Frenzy, The Veronicas, Kate Voegele, The Like, Josh Ritter, Bonnie McKee, Stacie Rose, Regina Spektor, She & Him, Karmina, Gaslight Anthem, Prescilla Ahn, The Pierces, Brandi Carlile, St. Vincent, Aly & AJ, The Dollyrots, Metric, Tilly and the Wall, Wussy, Anna Nalick, etc.

And then there are artists going back a ways still making good music like James McMurtry, Kelly Clarkson, Pete Yorn, Camera Obscura, and the New Pornographers - and artists you might not expect, like Mandy Moore, are putting out great stuff.

[Lithos]

20. Got a few of them already

James McMurtry, Pete Yorn, Camera Obscura, The Veronicas and Gaslight Anthem, to name a few. But there are a few I had not heard of, I will pull a few out to add.

[mvd]

Hope you like

My list ranges from the poppier to less mainstream, since I wasn't sure what you enjoy. :hi:

[Fran Kubelik]

10. are there any categories of music you don't like?

Or any you particularly do?

[Lithos]

13. It really is mood dependent

But, yes I do love all types of music. I am not a musician and don't understand the technicals behind a lot of music, so it is really more about energy and emotion than anything else. My tastes run anywhere from Cesar Evoria, Afropop, J-pop, Buena Vista Social Club, B-52's, The Beatles, Robert Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bill Monroe, Classical (Elgar, Stravinksy, Tchaikovsky, J.S. Bach, St. Saens, etc.), general Folk, Yo-yo ma, David Grisman, Led Zeppelin, Shanghai Restoration, Chemical Brothers, Rage Against the Machine, The Meat Puppets, Husker Du, Rolling Stones, Nick Drake, Flogging Molly, Leonard Cohen, The Kinks, etc.

Tonight I am going to do some heads down programming (to learn more about Ruby and Rails) and tend to prefer higher energy things, but the question is general.

[Kerrytravelers]

11. Here is one more that Mr. kt and I have seen live several times.

Ok... at Disneyland. They're very lively a fun.

Surburban Legends. Check 'em out!

[suninvited]

Thanks!

19. New Bob Dylan album,

"Together Through Life?"

Sorry, can't help much. I'm still stuck on the Eighties/Nineties regarding my playlist. ;)

:hi:

[Lithos]

22. LOL

Already listened to it, somethings I like about it, though it wasn't his best. I tend towards his middle 1970's period for some reason.

[Call Me Wesley]

27. It was the most recent one I could think of. ;)

Says a lot about me and music, though. But I agree, I also like his earlier works best. I could give you some German music I still like (and no, it's not Rammstein, it's from the Eighties, but good.) I just discovered it again, like BAP and Spliff.

Here's 'Kristallnaach' (The Night Of Broken Glass) from them (sung in the dialect from Cologne.) Couldn't find the English lyrics right now.

28. LOL

Was listening to Rammstein the other night. How coincedental!

[Call Me Wesley]

29. Oh, Rammstein's fine.

Heidi always loved them and I was very reluctant until I researched a bit, because of the obvious. They're great.

I found a crude translation of 'Kristallnaach:'

It happens to me I think something is rattling
That something's getting lost inside of me
A noise, not even loud,
Sometimes this rattling is so familiar to me
Seldom so that you immediately comprehend

You wake up, you rub your eyes and see
In a painting between Brueghel and Bosch
You see no one to set great by sirens
Because the sound of the all-clear costs only half as much
It smells of Crystal night

In the calm before the storm, what's that?
On the quiet someone leaves the town
Dignitaries incognito hurry past
Officially they don't like to be involved
When the angry populace - be prepared! -
Is rioting and yelling near the boiling point:
"Hail! Mort!" and boundlessly lecherous shouts for revenge
Trembling of envy
In the Crystal night

But those who're disturbed by what's different to them
Who swim with the tide as is right and proper
Who see gays as criminals
Strangers as scum
Need someone to lead them astray

And then there's no cavalry rescuing
No Zorro will care about
He will be pissing a "Z" in the snow
And then for coolness pass out
"Who cares? Crystal night"

In the church with the Franz-Kafka-clock without hand
With only strokes upon it, there is a blind man reading "The shock-headed Peter" to a deaf one
Behind a triple-locked door
And the guardian with the bunch of keys thinks he's really some kind of genius
Because he powders the ways out and sells them for claustrophobia
In the Crystal night

Meanwhile, perhaps at the market square,
Unmasked, today with its real face
Picking up stones, sharpening the knife
For those who are already squealed
The lynch-mob practices for the Last Judgement
And to load them they're only hastily moored, the galleys have long their steam up
And they're waiting for slaves in the harbor, for the trash of the unequal combat
Of the Crystal night

Where Darwin has to pay for everything
No matter if people are expelled or tormented
Where money hides behind the power
Where strength is as important as everything
Distorted by ducking and standing to attention
Where hymns are even played on a comb
Where in barbarous greed for profit, you can hear them yell "Hosanna!" and "Crucify him!"
When you see there any advantage at all
There'll be daily a Crystal night

Love a good pedal steel/slide guitar in a rock setting. Sounds like George Thorogood meets Duane Allman.
