Music you know nothing about...
Bass music or High Energy Bass.
My friend is playing Bangface in London on Friday night and I realise I know nothing about this kind of music and it's hard to get into.

Thanks chaps
my friend is playing at bangface on friday too!
Nice one, I am going to see Yeahhbuzz.
I am actually pretty excited to see him play, his biggest gig yet.
I've been wanting to get into blues.
this isn't exactly Blus.
at all, in fact. it's 20's beat poetry - it's got blues in it, jazz, gospel......I think you might like it

Blus?!
I do like this, indeed.
Not sure what it is, though.
Robert Petway - Catfish Blues

Yes, exactly stuff like this.
I just need a big playlist/comp to skim through and see what stuff I like and go on from there, I guess.
John Lee Hooker
Always satisfies my blues vibe when I get the urge. He's got a wicked kinda groovy boogie style of playing the stright up blues style even when its him just on accoustic guitar that it adds a nice energy to it.

Thanks for these, good stuff.
All that heavy-ish stuff that was main stage the first day of Reading 2011
I know nothing
Alot of jazz I know feck all
Jazz finally clicked for me a few years back
when, like a lot of people I guess, I listened to Kind of Blue for the first time. It's subsequently led me down a lot of interesting rabbit holes. I still know next to feck all about it myself, but I'm starting to know what I like.
I've done the listening to Kind of Blue thing
I like it and mean to explore more jazz but just as I was about to I got distracted by electronica (which I hadn't listened to much of at that point). Generally I get obsessed with one other genre to go along with my standard diet of indie, pop, rock and folk. It has variously been hip hop, classical and metal. Funk and jazz are in the back of my mind, who knows when the mood will take me.
Have a go at Coltrane next
Would suggest Giant Steps
It's all about Wayne Shorter
And I'd much rather My Favourite Things than Giant Steps.
Listening to John Coltrane has been one of the best decisions I've ever made
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsxZuPXNGnU - The Love Supreme record (part 2, Resolution in particular - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK-ne6AxAYE) had an effect on me similar to the one people seem to relate to when discussing the first time they heard Loveless or tried peanut butter or something else important...
The way Trane wrote music and arranged his band along with developing his own playing style is completely unique and can be chronicled across so many different albums which range from easy going, utterly beautiful and melodious standards (Soul Trane & Blue Train) to batshit free jazz noise jamming (Om, Ascension). I like his spirituality as well, it goes as a nice side to the authenticity of a lot of his music - he spoke a lot of stuff about trying to 'better his soul through his playing' and what have you. really interesting. mind you, he was doped to the eye balls by that point.
great guy.
anyway, hearing Resolution
damn...ignore that bottom bit.
the peanut butter thing stands though.
It's difficult to not sound pretentious when discussing Jazz
Just give him an album to listen to you berk.
This is the only jazz album i know
but it's fucking amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wgA9L5TN5M
