I love Mika. Mika needs a thread. :D

Not sure if there's a thread, but I figured it'd be a cool thread to make to see what songs people have really been into and perhaps it might get other people into songs. Here are some songs I've been into: [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G82q8Yds0hA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G82q8Yds0hA[/ame]

There has almost certainly been a thread like this before. I may have even made it haha. I'm talking bands or artists who have released a consistent decent volume of work, or who have defined a generation with seminal albums or have been pioneers and have been at the forefront of a shift in mainstream or alternative mainstream musical genres. You know, people who will really be remembered and rediscovered by future generations. When I was younger I found it impossible to think we'd have people like Bowie or the Beatles or anybody who released so many albums (since I was into a lot of indie stuff at an earlier stuff and their shelf lives tend to be quite short) or ev…

I've heard his name crop up a bit but he doesn't have a thread. He's got four or five awesome songs: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyILJaEPwo8]Forever Dolphin Love (Live) - Connan Mockasin - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T9cCiwqKRA]Connan Mockasin - It's Choade My Dear - YouTube[/ame]

Anyone heard this guy's new self-titled album? Or his three Pitchfork-acclaimed eps from last year? Very good electronic music if you ask me.

Anybody else listen to this artist? Its Dallas Green from Alexisonfire. His newest album came out today. It is rather good. Check it out if you have the chance...you can download it in the non-coldplay multimedia section. http://www.myspace.com/dallasgreen

Lovely little band formed by Simon Tong (The Verve, Blur etc) Erland Cooper (Erland and the Carnival) and Hannah Peel. Released a brilliant album called Orkney: Symphony of the Magnetic North last year a concept album all about the Orkney Isles off the north of Scotland. The album is set to be re released on June 24th alongside a film project entitled 'Hunting for Remoteness'.

Just heard this. A couple of my friends enjoyed a gig of hers (and her bands) last night so I figured I'd give her a listen. I like it. Some very good bits in there. Kind of between CocoRosie and Scout Niblett with a bit more of an ethereal nature. Heavy in places too. Some songs just really nail it.

Is vinyl really the best way to listen to music, sound-wise or does it make no difference? Not a factual poll, just what do people prefer? Do people genuinely buy records to listen to on vinyl because it's better quality? Do people just not care either way?

Listen to the new AMAZING single here http://www.wearephoenix.com/

Who has been the greatest live act ever? The Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Queen, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Nirvana or someone else? This Day in Music have just started a poll to find out. If you fancy voting for who you think should win go to http://www.thisdayinmusic.com You can vote for any act, just go to 'other' on the list.

Brit's, Grammy's, Mercury's, NME's, MOBO's, Ivor Novello's? Which would you least want to win? You can specify individual categories too. And you can debate the meaningless/meaningfulness of awards, too.

Spotify will launch in the US by the autumn, according to reports. Newswire Bloomberg claims the music-streaming service is gearing up for a third-quarter launch in the States. “We’re buying server space in random parts of the States and there are licensing discussions too," Spotify’s senior vice president Paul Brown said in an interview with Bloomberg. “But they are going fine because we’re in a long-term partnership with the labels and publishers.” Spotify is also in discussions to release its mobile software on Blackberry and Palm smartphones, Brown said. The service is already on Android, Symbian and the iPhone. Indeed, the iPhone app has just been updated w…

Are there any fans? The song "This Love" is playing right now and yeah..it's super annoying and super catchy at the same time. Don't you hate that?? anyways..let me know.

bought their album 'the soft bulletin' yesterday at a Vigin Megastore sale - its very erm... different. i think it will grow on me though - it reminds me a bit of Deus and Sparklehorse although more melodic :D

I've been talking quite a lot about this band recently in other threads here. Thir debut album is more dub and 2-step oriented while its follow-up has a "psychedelic ambient" sound.

A great band consisting of a Brit, a Frechman and a Swede. I think they should get more attention :) They're really worth a llisten - very catchy sound!
