i recently suffered a virus that made me reformat my hard drive. now i have the tedious
task of rebuilding my music library.
I want to build it in a new direction from what i had, and i'd like recommendations.
My only criterion is that it be something i haven't heard before.
(my tastes are diverse, but my exposure is fairly limited, so it shouldn't be too hard for some
of you)
Wolf Parade. They have two albums, the first is Apologies to the Queen Mary and is fantastic. The second is At Mount Zoomer and is only slightly less so.
thanks.
it might help if posters included some basic info (genre or what have you) just so i know roughly what i'm in for.
N.A.S.A. A hip hop collaboration with some amazing pairings, including Koot Keith and Tom Waits on one track.
World Inferno Friendship Society - A ska-ish new york underground band.
Wall of Voodoo - defunct and out of print 80s rock band thats popular around here for some reason.

Fo' realz? That sounds like it's just too much awesome for one track! I have to check this out.
On topic: I've been switching up my musical tastes these days, so here's some stuff I've been listening to lately that's a bit more "progressive," I guess.
Chrome, The Melvins, Jesus Lizard, The Locust, Nick Cave.
And if you like a post classic punk-rock kind of sound, check out any of Greg Lowery's bands. It's not mind blowing music but it's good
clean fun.

There are so many more groups than this that I should recommend, but what I currently can simply not get enough of lately is Sage Francis. Lyrics are beautiful, wordplay coming from every direction, and his flow is super interesting.
Slint - The first, and arguably the best, of the mid-90's post-grunge mid-tempo art-punk crew.
Minutemen - The best punk band of all time. OF. ALL. TIME.
The Stooges, Funhouse - Forty years old, and will still strangle any other rock band in their sleep.

You still insulted me. Notice almost every other post has one or more listings that i or someone else posted, guess we're all tragically mainstream to you.

They were in an industrial torrent collection I DL'd before my computer keeled over. I didn't realize they were "local" status. May they be the solitary exclusion for my "mainstream" remark.
As for insulting you, TAKE A FUCKING JOKE. You made a rather lengthy post, most of which was pointless and expressly disregarded my opening post. I think that gives me license to poke a bit of fun at you. Other people may have posted some of the same bands you did, but none of them posted all of them. In one post. So shut up, squeaky.

Dude, you already said "main stream", no need to spell it out.
Anyway, my suggestion for you is, I recently came across this pretty awesome band from the early 90s. Some really catchy basslines and tunes, coupled with some of the most hard-hitting lyrics ever. I forget, it was "Backstreet Guys", or something. I'll look it up and post the exact name. I really think you'd dig it.

That list is a bit of a large block of characters for easy parsing, do you mind putting each band on its own line so I can more easily scan it and determine what you have already listened to? In return I will post the contents of my entire iTunes library for you to compare notes with.
Perhaps, for simplicity, you could post a list of bands you have heard and enjoyed, which would allow me to do some comparison and determine what I think you might be likely to enjoy.
I don't listen to the radio, I don't go to Starbucks, and I don't have time to sit listening to skinny-pants wankers talk about what's popular, so I have no idea how to determine what is or is not "Mainstream". If I have heard about it from a friend, it may well be "Mainstream", so it is possible that I have nothing to recommend to you. I did listen to the radio as recently as 1999, so some of the formerly mainstream music I enjoy may predate your knowledge of mainstream, and may actually have re-entered the realm of obscure.
Oh, here; actually, here is my entire music library; perhaps you will find something in it that is not mainstream and which you have never heard before:

Dude, you already said "main stream", no need to spell it out.
Anyway, my suggestion for you is, I recently came across this pretty awesome band from the early 90s. Some really catchy basslines and tunes, coupled with some of the most hard-hitting lyrics ever. I forget, it was "Backstreet Guys", or something. I'll look it up and post the exact name. I really think you'd dig it.

That's because you're a bad person.
Cobalt : It's black metal rooted but they combine many many genres into it and make it sound totally fucking great. Best album from them is Gin.
Converge : It's Converge! One of the best metal bands out there. If you can adjust your ears. The screamer/singer can be quite odd at first.
Khanate : "Ultra Doom". First two albums are the best ones. Sick shit.
Psyopus : Like fast guitars and total mayhem? Hardcore/Metal/Math/Grind
Cephalic Carnage : Metal. In so many ways. Try the album Xenosapien.
Quote from: Requia ☣ on February 18, 2010, 08:24:18 PM
VNV is interesting. I don't here any trumpets though. :argh!:
Took me a while to get back. VNV is more club type music, as is Apop, and in fact the lead singer for VNV was in Apop for a while, so if you actually listened to both bands, not so much in depth, there are a lot of parallels in lyrics.
You want trumpets you should stick to Mighty Mighty Bosstones. :D

Fuck, Hubris made me poomp my pance so hard with the whole "mainstream" thing that I believe I may have prolapsed a little. That's not an entirely bad thing though, as my prolapsed rectum is prehensile and I'm currently typing with it to convey a form of pure hatred. Elitism does that to me.
The "Mainstream", whatever fucked up definition you've cooked up for it, is indeed a sewer. A place where all the "best" and "brightest" of contempory culture drop their toalies, and where finding the actual Good Shit requires swimming through a river of just plain shit. However, restricting yourself to only that which is not mainstream means that you are still defining yourself by it. You're just as fucking pathetic as those you despise.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I love the sheer magnitude of your spaggotry and douchbaggery, Hubris.

Quotepeople still go to stores to get their music?
I used to when I lived in the UK to get snazzy white label limited edition techno records. you'd only ever find the mad rare stuff in little no-where record stores. I mean some of the stuff has not even to this day been uploaded to file shares / youtubes, and was only ever heard at obscure raves, taped onto c90 and lost in the mists of format decay.
but not for years have I been in a record store, or even paid for music, or owned record playing eqpt I used to own everything I like, so I feel no badness about re-acquiring most back catalogs I used to have. I lost interest in music.
I'm just rekindling that lost love a little bit, but still, I used to actually care about music. now I'm all :kingmeh: even classical. yeah. it's bad.
YOU NEED
a record player
WHAT
were you thinking? Shake your groove thing H.F.L.S, even if it's crackle-pop-Strauss. I used to have over 10,000 records and have whitled it all down to maybe a few hundred, several of which are "white-label" unauthored release music projects. It's those fucked up mixes and unworkable projections into music which change yer life. youtube kinda serves that but NOTHING satisfies the interactive hot sex of a needle on a record. GO BUY SOME WAX!!

I said "haven't heard before" not "tragically mainstream".
How about if you post a complete list of everything you've heard before, and then those of us who don't have time to keep up with what's mainstream and what's not can post music that's not on your list?

or, we could agree that if it's played on the radio, or you hear people talking about it in public places like starbucks, it's likely in the "mainstream" category. Contrary to what Kel may think, Sublime is mainstream. So, if you would like, I can change my OP to read "...likely haven't heard."
OK,
the only interesting thing I see in that list is possibly the Henry Rollins band. Ever checked out his first few? like 'Henrietta Collins & the wife beating child-haters "drive by shooting" e.p.?' -classic. o.k, so most of that stuff you listed is listenable, BUT BASICALLY TOTALLY MAINSTREAM!! be it crap or rocks out.
GO TO
some band pages on myspace and start surfing around. you'll probably like most of what you find.
ALSO
Diamanda Galas is a great springboard into...

Soundtracks from the Bond movies and The Matrix
Cains Verwirrung compilations (all five)
A few mix CD's I or others have made
And a selection of different tracks Paul Weller is influenced by called "Under the Influence"
HERE'S AN ANGLE
find a genre or niche of music and drown yourself in it. Like, focus on early disco or late '90's drum'n'bass or maybe 50's-60's classical. Take in an era/ movement of human expression and process that. then move on.
OR MAYBE
make a list of every music release considered to be either a "joke" or un-listenable and, equally, surround yourself with this stuff and see what YOU think. Then turn the radio back on.
I like both of those ideas.
I find I can never delete any music though. I have a fuckton of terrible terrible music in my single songs folder that Fred sent me ages back that makes me claw out my eyes in horror and stick nails in my ears threatening to never hear anything ever again, but I can't delete it. I sometimes even listen to it when I'm writing rants - For The Hate.
WHAT YOU REALLY NEED
is to lose yourself in freejazz for the next six months. My wife and I saw Nina Simone on her last tour and I'm convinced that EITHER she was SUN RA in drag or SUN RA was her in drag, I can't decide. But if you follow that musical trail you'll be occupied for at least half a year and you'll discover so much about modern music in the process that your friends will think you suck and you'll have a mind altering awakening.
ALSO
i'm looking to get a full back tattoo and I'm wanting suggestions. I'm currently thinking of the movie poster images for "the Crow" or maybe an m.c. escher.(?)
I hardly ever seem to find genres, albums, or artists that I wholly enjoy - usually just fleeting songs, but here are a few artists/bands:
Idiot Flesh
Big Rude Jake
Gabriela Kulka
Man Man
Psapp
Thanatopsis
Ernest Ranglin
Clutch
Diamanda Galás
Kaizers Orchestra
Shiina Ringo (椎名林檎)
Leningrad (Ленинград)

Bullshit. Listening to top 40 radio will not expose you to more than a small portion of current "mainstream" music. NO ONE has heard all the mainstream stuff. Proof? EOT is a 40-year-old part-time DJ who worked in a large independent record store for YEARS, and until very recently he had never heard Marcy Playground. Heard OF them, sure, and sold hundreds of their albums, but never actually listened to them.
I bet I could riffle through just my own music collection and come up with at least a hundred "mainstream" titles this chode has never heard of.
I call musical idiocy on this one.

I have to defend Hubris here. He didn't say only stuff which was not mainstream was good, he said he wanted things he had not heard, and that he had heard all the mainstream stuff.
Why do you "have" to? Is he not capable of defending himself?
fuck you guys, my grandma died from mainstream.
Also, asking people for help and then ridiculing them when they fail to read your mind and don't give you the exact kind of help you wanted is a dick move.

i recently suffered a virus that made me reformat my hard drive. now i have the tedious
task of rebuilding my music library.
I want to build it in a new direction from what i had, and i'd like recommendations.
My only criterion is that it be something i haven't heard before.
(my tastes are diverse, but my exposure is fairly limited, so it shouldn't be too hard for some
of you)
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this guy was a total dick to Kel for absolutely no reason.
If it was up to me I'd consign him to 1000 years of nothing but Cypress Hill and Bearforce One.

I read this whole thread. Giggling and holding on for dear life.
Fuck, Hubris made me poomp my pance so hard with the whole "mainstream" thing that I believe I may have prolapsed a little. That's not an entirely bad thing though, as my prolapsed rectum is prehensile and I'm currently typing with it to convey a form of pure hatred. Elitism does that to me.
The "Mainstream", whatever fucked up definition you've cooked up for it, is indeed a sewer. A place where all the "best" and "brightest" of contempory culture drop their toalies, and where finding the actual Good Shit requires swimming through a river of just plain shit. However, restricting yourself to only that which is not mainstream means that you are still defining yourself by it. You're just as fucking pathetic as those you despise.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I love the sheer magnitude of your spaggotry and douchbaggery, Hubris.

Bullshit. Listening to top 40 radio will not expose you to more than a small portion of current "mainstream" music. NO ONE has heard all the mainstream stuff. Proof? EOT is a 40-year-old part-time DJ who worked in a large independent record store for YEARS, and until very recently he had never heard Marcy Playground. Heard OF them, sure, and sold hundreds of their albums, but never actually listened to them.
I bet I could riffle through just my own music collection and come up with at least a hundred "mainstream" titles this chode has never heard of.
I call musical idiocy on this one.
LIES!!

everyone is guilty of musical idiocy, for starters, almost nobody knows much about musicals, furthermore, most people know a lot about what they like, but not necessarily a lot about music in general. and then there's being an ungrateful bastard.

Get over it, everybody dies. You're 40 for all intents and purposes. That isn't stopping me from trying to come up with a special 40th birthday present for you, so, you know, beware.

This. We are all "guilty" of musical ignorance (innocence?), which is part of my point about you never having heard Marcy Playground. Being an ungrateful, misplaced-elitist dick about it is a whole different story.
I am myself super ignorant in music, though I'm always trying to expand my horizons a bit.
What pisses me off with this guy is the whole labelling of music, categorizing it into "Mainstream" (bad) and "Not Maintstream" (Haven't heard). Shit, I delete any and all genre tags on my music because they're usually wrong and don't actually tell me anything about the music that listening to it would. Given this, I cannot see how such an arbitrary and nebulous distinction as this mainstream thing could be of any use to anyone.
Back in my younger days I would get pissed off at bands for "Selling Out" and stop listening to them for it... Then I grew up - everyone gotsta get paid, yo?
Considering Marcy Playground only had one "hit", I could see why not a lot of people have heard of them. One hit wonder band.

Actually I think they had four songs in the top 40... Sex and Candy spent three months as #1 but I don't think any of the others made the top ten. That first album went platinum and they just released a fourth.
The fact that you haven't heard them on the radio lately hardly makes them one-hit wonders. When was the last time you heard Bettie Serveert on the radio? Or Cat Power?
Also, that was kind of my point. Having been played on top 40 radio doesn't mean everyone's heard it.

Considering that terrestrial radio's heyday is far behind it, I would say that a lot of shit played on top 40 radio is going to go unheard.

Fair. Perhaps my choice in that colloquialism was poor. I'm sure what constitutes mainstream or not is wider than either of us could actually say. The closest anyone came to understanding me was, I think, BabylonHoruv- except I never claimed to know all mainstream stuff. My hope was that by being brief in my OP, more people would actually reply and I could just scan past the ones I have heard. The goal for my library is to acquire only stuff I haven't listened to. There's a lot of stuff I haven't head. people here listen to a lot of stuff; if each poster gave me just a few bands, the ones they thought were least likely to have been heard by me, my goal would have been easily accomplished.

Sure, but you couldn't actually just do that, could you, you weird little poseur? Instead you dumped on someone who was innocently and authentically trying to be helpful. Are you really so immature that you thought it was OK to shit on someone because the bands they're familiar with are
too mainstream? I thought most people get over that bit of retardation by the time they're 20.
