Can someone recommend me some alt/indie similar to Cursive, Modest Mouse, The Decemberists?

I like them but dont really know much about anyone else.

[The Great Decay]

If you dig Cursive I would recommend Archers of Loaf and Superchunk.

[Kyle]

It starts and ends strong, but the middle is kinda average.Yeah, and the track with Consequence just blows.

Anyway.

Love - Forever Changes

GREAT album.

[Electrocution]

some thrash. the discographies of Limp Wrist and Charles Bronson to be specific.

[mehmet]

Lately I have been digging Depeche Mode. Does anybody know of any bands that sound similar to them?

[The Great Decay]

some thrash. the discographies of Limp Wrist and Charles Bronson to be specific.

I thought Charles Bronson was considered Power Violence. Regardless, I've been meaning to check them out for a while.

[PECOAE]

Lately I have been digging Depeche Mode. Does anybody know of any bands that sound similar to them?

POST-PUNK

Devo
Joy Division
The Cure

[The Jungler]

A Little Bit of Somethin' is the name, I believe.that's the one I have too. He's pretty cool.

[Zmev]

Oasis - Whats the Story

Its like Oasis day or something. Great 2 albums.

[Zmev]

FF are pretty lame.

[ATM]

He Poos Clouds has some nice tracks.

[Electrocution]

I thought Charles Bronson was considered Power Violence. Regardless, I've been meaning to check them out for a while.
yeah whatever. it's a pretty fine line.

the beginning of their discog is pretty meh, but it really picks up around "****in Drunken Uncle."

[Anxious]

I bought the Pearls Before Swine album yesterday, Balaklava. It's ok, 60's psychedelic folk stuff. There's a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne," pretty decent. I need to hunker down with it and a pair of earphones, though.

I found that on some random music blog once. Its pretty good.

[EightMilesHigh]

Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary

[Jawaharal]

The Verlaines - Juvenilia
The Chills - Submarine Bells
The Long Blondes - Someone to Drive You Home
The Mekons - I <3 Mekons
The National Bank - The National Bank

[mehmet]

Today:
DJ Shadow and Depeche Mode.

[biografiend]

Today:
Antony & the Johnsons. I cant get over this man's voice. Amazingly beautiful.
Teenage Jesus & the Jerks
Karl Blau - Clothes Your I's. Upon first listen, its just alright.
Benoit Pioulard - Precis. I'll probably end up liking this. alot.

[bleep_bloop]

how is benoit pioulards whole cd compared to the song on the album review? because i didnt like the song on the album review, it sounded like he was aping grandaddy and doing a bad job of it.

[bleep_bloop]

btw ive been digging peter bjorn & john - writers block, so good.

[Electrocution]

i remember two years ago i never really dug Envy's All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead...but i'm listening to it now...and it's good.

[Zmev]

Dan the Automator - Wanna Buy a Monkey?

Still awesome, going from Zero 7 to De La Soul and Deltron and making it sound like such a smooth exchange.

[ATM]

The new Dan the Automater isn't all that good, you hear it yet?

[Zmev]

The 2k7 tracks? Nah, though it looks like it could be good.

[ATM]

It's basketball themed which ruins it for me.

[Zmev]

I play basketball so I may like it.

[Zmev]

Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden, I Miss Everyone

This is nice, Its Natural to be Afraid is a great track.

[Kyle]

Jamie T - Panic Prevention
The first quality release of the year for me.

[Iai]

I liked "If You Got The Money", but the other Jamie T that just came out is horrible. I'll probably still check the album.

I discovered Bill Withers. So I've been loving that. I also dug out Angel Dust for the first listen in ages, and it's (even) better than I remember it being.

[pixiesfanyo]

Off Minor - The Heat Death of The Universe

[Luxor]

Lifetime - Hello Bastards

[pixiesfanyo]

Luxor - Is Gay

[Luxor]

dude you just don't understand lifetime, you're just not ****ed up enough man.

[Bartender]

I discovered Bill Withers. So I've been loving that.

He's great, isn't he. I just ordered Still Bill last night, actually, having loved Just As I Am so much. He's got all kinds of songs to his name that I didn't know were him.


Anyway, I've mostly been digging a bunch of metal(ish) CDs I bought recently.

Genghis Tron - Cloak of Love. Bought it because it was cheap and I was interested to hear them. I like it. Short enough that the New Order-goes-grind thing doesn't get old, and some of the songs are just really good.

Black Elk - Black Elk was a bit disappointing. Was expecting some good loud and dirty punk/rock, and while it is loud and dirty, it isn't particularly good. Suppose it might get better with repeated listens, and the last track (8 minutes long, slower, with some reverb and echo and stuff going on) picked it up a bit, but still. Would rather listen to Coliseum.

The Meads of Asphodel - The Mill Hill Sessions. The Meads are yet to disappoint me, and even though this isn't a proper album (six old tracks re-recorded live, and one half-new, half-medley 22-minute closer) it carries that on. Great mix of punky black metal, Hawkwind-style space rock, plain heavy metal and even occasional drum'n'bass. Looking forward to a new album, I hope, and maybe even some live shows.

The others aren't really worth mentioning here, I think.

[Interstate]

1 ▲5 Jay-Z 10
1 Air 10
3 The Smiths 8
3 Lee Morgan 8
3 Scarface 8
6 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 7

I've heard a couple of songs by this band, namely "80 Grains Of Sand" from Exhuming The Grave Of Yeshua I think it was, but never checked out any full length material as such. Which album would you recommend me starting with?

[Bartender]

Exhuming the Grave of Yeshua is probably my favourite of their albums, so go with that, if you can.

[Interstate]

Exhuming the Grave of Yeshua is probably my favourite of their albums, so go with that, if you can.

Thanks, I'll try and get a copy cheap off ebay or something. I just listened to '80 Grains' again, it's amazing how the song just switches so dramatically in the middle with the hebrew chanting and middle-eastern style music.

[Zebra]

Cocteau Twins - Treasure

[Electrocution]

Fly Pan Am - N'ecoutez Pas

[Zmev]

Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See

[biografiend]

how is benoit pioulards whole cd compared to the song on the album review? because i didnt like the song on the album review, it sounded like he was aping grandaddy and doing a bad job of it.

It really doesnt remind me of Grandaddy at all. Upon more listenings, its not something I'll probably get obsessed with, but it's a nice drive/relax album.

[Electrocution]

I've been alternating between Envy and Fly Pan Am for the last couple of hours. it's going to be hard to find something to listen to after i stop this marathon.

[pixiesfanyo]

faggot.

[perriwinkle]

i have been listening to Bark Psychosis

pretty much just Codename: Dustsucker

they are pretty sweet

[Zebra]

Hex is where it's at.

[NineBitFable]

Puppets- Hum

Ok, seriously, This is one of Hum's best songs, and hardly anyone has heard it. It's a B-Side from the Downward is Heavenward era (I think). Go find it.

[EightMilesHigh]

Cocteau Twins - Peel Sessions

[Zmev]

Slint - Spiderland

[Robert Crumb]

Sean Price - Jesus Price Supastar
Nara Leão - Nara
Sally Shapiro - Disco Romance

[ATM]

Ooh I need that Sean Price. Is it better then Monkey Barz?

[Robert Crumb]

Eh, it's about even with Monkey Barz I think. Except this has a promobot on it, so that's throwing me off. Worth checking out though, lemme see if I can find the link again.

[ATM]

Sweet, thanks.

[Robert Crumb]

dammit actually the link is expired

[Robert Crumb]

Here's a rapidshare that looks like it might work instead:

Puppets- Hum

hmm, i should check it out. i still think DIH is their best album, way better than the one with their one-hit on it.

anyway, i can't believe how long it took me to realize that Panic At the Disco is just a Cursive knockoff. i guess you already knew :(

[Interstate]

The Beatles - Revolver
Das EFX - The Best Of

I'm convinced that Das EFX have to be one of the most underrated hip hop groups ever.

[Kyle]

Aswad - A New Chapter of Dub
The Only Ones - Special View

Also;
Red Seal - Black Ops
^^Just found this on a blog, can't find out much about it on the internet but there's some really sweet ambient/dub music on here.

[Happymeal]

dEUS - The Ideal Crash
Sarah Blasko - What the Sea Wants the Sea Will Have


also downloading the Deerhoof and Apostle of Hustle leaks

[Iai]

Is it worth checking out The Only Ones? I spent ages trying to find out who did "Another Girl, Another Planet" - Google took me to loads of Blink-182 and Replacements songs. I adore that song.

[Kyle]

Is it worth checking out The Only Ones? I spent ages trying to find out who did "Another Girl, Another Planet" - Google took me to loads of Blink-182 and Replacements songs. I adore that song.Well they don't have any other songs as good "Another Girl, Another Planet", but I downloaded Special View just to have the song on my computer and was pleasantly suprised by the rest of the CD. So i'd say yeah, if it's not too dificult for you to track down this album is worth checking out.

[ATM]

[Bartender]

Still digging Scott Matthews - A Passing Stranger, and digging James Carr - You Got My Mind Messed Up again. Nothing much new to report, except that now I have a Har Mar Superstar album to dig, instead of making do with youtube videos. He's so awesome.

Not so much digging the fact that Robert Anton Wilson just died.

[asdf]

Howlin' Wolf - I Am The Wolf

Found it in my dad's vinyl collection. I'm only on the first song, but it's great so far.

Who's that?

[Bartender]

A writer (I think mainly a writer, anyway). Not a musician or anything, just sucks that he's dead.

[Rabbi]

Hey Bartender ya think you could check out my thread in the Sputnik Community section.

And I'm having troubly getting that last.fm list on here.

[Bartender]

I could, but I don't really have anything to do with the sputnik side of the site.

EDIT: Sorry, can't really help with name changes anyway. Mods don't have the power, as far as I know; has to be an admin.

[Eliminator]

Wilco - Being There

bought this today

[Iai]

I heard Summerteeth the other day. It's kinda meh.

[Eliminator]

being there and yankee hotel foxtrot are really good and then a ghost is born is good that's all i've heard though

Summerteeth is good. Not as good as YHF but whatyagonnado?

But lately I can't stop digging Neutral Milk Hotel's Oh Comely. The vocals are just brilliant.

[Iai]

I haven't really stopped listening to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot since I got it to be honest. I should give Being There a go, maybe.

[AlienEater]

I haven't listened to Sky Valley in a long time.

[Kyle]

Yeah, my first time in months. It feels fresh again.

[ATM]

This guy I work with runied Kyuss for me. He only listens to them or Pantera.

[Kyle]

Haha, I remember when I listened to Pantera.

Hahah.

[ATM]

He is going to get a Cowboys From Hell tattoo, and has Dime Bag stuff all around his desk. There is a giant map of USA above his desk and he has a giant Dime Bag cut out pasted over Texas.

[Electrocution]

so do you ever hear about a band a lot, but you never really get around to checking them out, then when you finally do you discover that they are really, really good? yeah well that happened to me with Drive Like Jehu.

[AlienEater]

Drive Like Jehu are amazing.

[Bukowski]

Bardo Pond - Ticket Crystals
Dinosaur Jr - Bug
Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles

You can't go wrong with kraftwerk covers.

[EightMilesHigh]

Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapathology

[Zebra]

Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted

The first half of this is sooooooo good.

[Kyle]

At the Drive-In - Acrobatic Tenement

Star Slight is so awesome.

[Bukowski]

Is Ticket Crystals good? I don't have it.

Swans - Cop

Its very good, but its still the only Bardo Pond album I've heard so I can't compare. I could upload it to sendspace or something if you want. What other albums of theirs would you recommend?

[Bukowski]

Ruins - Vrresto

this is ****ing crazy.

[Iai]

I can't stop listening to Scott Matthews. It's like acoustic Led Zeppelin and Donovan and Jeff Buckley and a dash of Van Morrison and Neil Young and aww. It's so good. "Elusive" is like a sequel to Jeff Buckley's "Nightmares By The Sea" that's even better.

It's funny, because he's coming from exactly the same influences as Jeff Buckley (there's major dashes of kwaali, even), and there's a slight similarity in his voice, but he doesn't actually sound that much like him. Anyway, brilliant album.

[NineBitFable]

Archers of Loaf- Icky Mettle

This is a band you can love. Seriously. No pretention, great pop hooks, and fuzzy guitars. . . Everything thats great about early 90's indie rock!

all that, and 'Web in Front' just might be the most perfect pop song ever written.

[AlienEater]

Its very good, but its still the only Bardo Pond album I've heard so I can't compare. I could upload it to sendspace or something if you want. What other albums of theirs would you recommend?

Lapsed is my favourite. It's pretty amazing. You don't have to upload TC as I'll probably get it soon. I appreciate the offer though.

I've been digging a shitload of Melvins again, especially Stag, Honky and A Senile Animal

[Neoteric]

Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News

I'd love to say I like Joanna Newsom, and I have such great respect for her work, but I just can't get into it. Is it the kind of album that you need to build up a taste for or if I don't like it now I never will?

w00t El Perro Del Mar

[Eliminator]

she swedish lvolksol

[bleep_bloop]

i dont really like the only song that i have by el perro del mar

[bleep_bloop]

well maybe i have a bad song

[Eliminator]

i like her singing and the production/music is good yep

[Happymeal]

Is that any good?

It has more straightforward, less folky songs than Folkloric Feel, it's basically BSS lite. So far I'm a bit disappointed but I think it's still solid.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black
The Blizzards - A Public Display of Affection

The former is the best soul album I've heard all year (and by that I mean last year) and the latter is a really cool ska-infused pop album you should all hear.

[JonM]

I've been digging really hard on Maps + Atlases. They are crazy and interesting.

[mr_jackalope]

The Waterboys - This Is The Sea: on first listen, much better than Fisherman's Blues, the first I heard by them. While no track is as good as "We Will Not Be Lovers", it's kicking a solid amount of *** so far.

5 awesome songs, 3 meh ones.

[br3ad_man]

I read that as "Yes" and thought you were listening to good music.

I wonder how you can post this and then post that you are listening to Wham! 20 minutes later.

[Happymeal]

Weakling - Dead as Dreams

I don't listen to black metal that much anymore, but I just remembered that the guy from ****ing Champs was in this band so I gave this one a spin after so long.

Miho Hatori - Ecdysis

A nice and crafty little pop album. Sounds like Bjork mingled with Deerhoof 2 albums from now.

[AlienEater]

Boards of Canada - Music
Tortoise - TNT
Aphex Twin - Ambient 85 - 92

[Rabbi]

Ys is getting to be extremely goood

[Zappa]

Should I actually listen to the whole Newsom record? The one song I heard was boring.

[asymm]

it's alright, but if you thought the track was boring, I'd be surprised to hear you changed your mind.

[Zmev]

Butch Walker - The Rise and Fall of...

First time listening to it, pretty good. Glad I picked this up.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Coincidentally, I'm listening to the Rock Star Supernova album. The sucky half is about the start so I might cut it and listen to some Prince instead.

Fragile is such a good album. i rememebre getting that like two years ago because Heart of the Sunrise was an amazing song and i needed to hear the rest

[Zmev]

Fragile and Close to the Edge are both awesome.

[Eliminator]
