The great clearout.
My Ipod (actually a creative zen) is full to the brim with DiS endorsed indie music, all of which makes for a wonderful listening experience; tuneful and adventurous in equal measure.
But after many months of Animal Collective, Wild Beasts, Grizzly Bear, M83, cut copy etc etc, I've had enough - I need a clearout. As the evenings get darker, so too my mood. I need something altogether more, i dunno, rock & roll.
Any recommendations for recent albums that quite simply, rock the shit out of most of the stuff covered here in this shrine to musical geekery?
All suggestions welcome, (no, my creative zen much prefers it where the sun DOES shine, thank you).
I'd recommend theese, in order of rock songs -> sheer noise
Future of the left - Obits - Pissed Jeans - Kong
I would also suspect records by
Part Chimp and Joe Gideon & The Shark to be very good indeed.
And the Trail of dead one wasn't bad.
I meant to check out
pissed jeans, i've seen them mentioned a lot round 'ere. Who do they sound like?
My War era Black Flag, The Jesus Lizard, Scratch Acid, Flipper etc
a random selection of totally rockin' records, from various periods and genres/styles, from the top of my head
Coachwhips - bangers vs fuckers
The Sonics - boom
Vivian Girls - everything goes wrong
Bad Brains - banned in dc (this is kind of a 'greatest hits' thing)
The Bronx - the bronx and the bronx II
Crystal Antlers - EP
Comets on Fire - avatar
The Germs - MIA
The Hunches - yes. no. shut it.
Jay Reatard - singles 06-07
The Jesus Lizard - liar
The Oh Sees - help
King Khan & The Shrines - what is?!
Stiff Little Fingers - inflammable material
Black Lips - let it bloom
Pissed Jeans - king of jeans
Mika Miko - We Be Xuxa and 666
Minor Threat - complete discography
Negative Approach - total recall
The Strange Boys - and girls club
The Suicide File - twilight
that might keep you entertained for a while, hopefully! Sorry this list is a bit all over the place!
I've been looking for that Hunches record for months
I'm convinced I'll one day find it, for about £7...
That's great
The more all over the place the better! I just want something that makes me want to play air guitar, or drum on nmy desk to the irritation of my colleagues at work.
look into music coming out of san francisco
ty segall grass widow oh sees brilliant colors the first fresh and onlys record you must also if you haven't all ready get japandroids-post nothing
The Drones - Here Come the Lies
anything by Mission of Burma
i recently bought Generic by Flipper
it's the only album you need ;)
(and maybe Total Recall by Negative Approach)
Thee Oh See's
They hit the spot when it seems like all the best new music these days is a little too 'nice'. Crazy psychadelic garage rock or the best Addam's Family wedding band, either way - a good thing.
