A thread on two levels.

 

For either music that you have just heard but they don't have a thread yet and you want to test the water. Or also if you've stumbled across a band and they aren't quite for your liking but you feel other members on the board would appreciate it. The best way to contribute to this (I have found) is to check out your last fm recommended artists functions. It just occurred to me how many times I've given a band a one minute listen, thought they were decent and others would like them, but then forgotten about them. This way, the music doesn't get forgotten.

 

You don't have to specify whether you like it or not. Can just be a mini dumping ground for others to check out. I hope this thread takes off. It could be useful for us all.

Nice idea here Greg !

 

It also happens to me to come across songs that are not quite my thing but that i know other people could really appreciate. I shall contribute to this thread in the future :)

 

The last two songs you posted are those i prefered. The last one definitely has some Animal Collective + Fleet Foxes feel to it.

Yeah, I hope this thread takes off, and I agree with what you said about the Animal Collective/Fleet Foxes comment.

 

I also think the second track will be liked by Deerhunter/National fans.

The Vondelpark one is cool. I'll post a couple of things later.

I like this thread, so I will post 2 songs I've really been into lately that other members might like

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI8aQVbvTsc]YouTube - Menomena - TAOS[/ame]

 

I think I suck at comparisons,...all I can say is that this songs is pretty good, because it has some changes in it that aren't too obvious after listening to it for the first time....well that's the impression I got....

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S1VIbcmAXc]YouTube - Reading Rainbow: Always on My Mind[/ame]

(yeah actually....I have come across this on one of your spotify playlists, Greg:wacko:)

 

like this one, because it is so erm "retro" like...well the organ makes it sound like that...makes me kinda happy....

 

nice thread btw....:smiley:

I am afraid I could post quite a lot of stuff in here...:uhoh:

Spacey melodic electronica with acoustic influences.

Oh, and for you fans of electric beats, combined genres and contemporary music I recommend Gayngs. They're Jagjaguwar band of about 20 musicians (including Justin Vernon) from various bands.

I'll have to listen to all the songs throughout this thread

Mike, don't listen to any of mine yet, some have made it to the Listening Party tonight haha.

 

I also need to listen to every song on here. Heard a few and liked them, now I have time to catch up properly though.

haha I might be having most of the stuff I've posted in here in my next listening party, too...which reminds me that there is something else I should post now

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R09cE_-kssY&feature=related]YouTube - Weekend - Youth Haunts[/ame]

Some good stuff there guys.

Here's a mini playlist of the new things I've found and been shown recently.

 

 

http://open.spotify.com/user/braddock28/playlist/10CCcPcZVgS5oGDRng2RLJ

oh yeah... just go and make a playlist in spotify :|

 

 

 

:waits patiently for spotify to arrive in US:

I'll make it Youtube friendly too :p

Gimme a few minutes

Mike, get on a uk proxy and get spotify...every 2 weeks you will have to create a new account, but it's worth it.....I've created my 5th account (or something like that) some days ago...ha

maybe I'll do that jules. I read an article that the US will be getting it in a few months... so hopefully that means like the spring, and not a year from now :lol:

 

thanks greg :lol: :thumbsup:
