I reccomend Husker Du to anyone who wants a really, really awesome punk/alternative band. “Zen Arcade” by Husker Du – I just got this back from my cousin who had it for over a year, and its good to finally listen to it all again. the cds kinda a “everything” mix, and its actually really good! Louis and got semi-big before crumbling apart and returning to stl in the late ninities. “Non-Existence” by Ultraman – These guys were a punk band from here in St. My girlfriend got this for me, its actually really awesome and has the dialouge before most of the songs and is almost like listening to all of the audio from the movie. “Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack” – eh, i’m sure you guys know this one. (He did alternative recordings of “Electricity” by OMD, and “Pretty In Pink” by the Psychedelic Furs… He also recorded U2’s first single.) It starts off with him recording the Buzzcocks, and goes on into Factory Records bands (probably his most famous recording act, Joy Division), and into alot of obscure recordings as well. “Zero: A Martin Hannett Story” – this really awesome compilation of all recordings by Martin Hannett, a guy from Manchester who had a realllly awesome recording style.
They have some pretty great guitar work as well… And to top it off, a lot of their songs are pretty funny.įollowing Christmas I got a bunch of cds for christmas as well as gift cards for cds and such, so here is what i’ve been listening to. They fall under the genre of “Psychobilly”, psychadelic rockabilly. The Reverend Horton Heat – Just plain awesomeness. The White Stripes – I now have almost their whole discography, and loving every bit of it… except for the songs where Meg White sings alone… I wish she were a better singer Also, I suggest that everybody ever should watch “David Byrne interviews David Byrne”. I recently checked out Speaking In Tongues, a great album with a lot of the songs that were in Stop Making Sense. Talking Heads – I watched their concert film, Stop Making Sense, and then it really clicked with me how awesome they are. It’s basically Odelay part 2 in terms of quality. Pink Floyd -specifically, Wish You Were Hereīeck – I bought Guero. Nirvana -still… I got MTV Unplugged In New York and the With The Lights Out box set, so now my Nirvana collection is pretty damn extensive Some other bands I’ve been obsessing over: SVN FNGRS is a cool indie-ish album but it’s still got some Pixies charm to it. I’ve been listening to Black Francis/Frank Black, from The Pixies. The Delgados (quality alt rock group, cd Hate is especially good) Tarwater (lo-fi sounds, lots of loops, electronic influence, monotone vocalist, atmospheric and moody) Plaid (idm group, lots of music, neat style)
Deerhoof (the milks gone bad but they drink it anyway, experimental rock w/ an hot sounding asian chick singing engrish) Bright Eyes (not as into Oberst since my teens lol) Arovane (atmospheric ambient and percussion) American Analog Set (mellow rock, good for naps) Nobuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda, Motoi Sakuraba (prog style rocks) Joy Electric (analog synths all the way) Been checking out more King Crimson lately, really enjoying Three of a Perfect Pair and some of Elektrik as well.
