Sweet tell me what you think dude.

[QUOTE=illmitch;17528764]some of my fave indie:

the smiths - the smiths
of montreal - the sunlandic twins
belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister
the mountain goats - all hail west texas
ballboy - club anthems
bright eyes - lifted or the story is in the soil, keep your ear to the ground[/QUOTE]

ha i only know the mountain goats cause some random local band covered one song by them, it was awesome.

the mountain goats rule. john darnielle (the main songwriter) is actually really into metal - he's so elite, he wrote a song about Sarcofago

i hope with the same type of lyrics

recommend me some dubstep considering the only artists I really like that I've heard are Distance and Burial.

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;17526621]the only things i leave labeled as indie is pinback and similar sounding ****. everything else gets further classified.

yes, i have pinback[/QUOTE]

dude, the first 2 Pinback albums are fantastic!

[QUOTE=Luc214;17535345]recommend me some dubstep considering the only artists I really like that I've heard are Distance and Burial.[/QUOTE]

Pulshar - Brotherhood
Benga - Newstep, Benga - Diary of an Afro Warrior
Silkie - City Limits Vol. 1
Skream - Skream!

These are my favs can rec more if you want. They don't sound much like Burial, maybe Pulshar. Skream is the noisiest one but he's really good.

i agree. blue screen life is my fav.

Boxcutter - Glyphic
Kode9 & the Spaceape - Memories of the Future
Zomby - Zomby EP
2562 - Aerial
Deadbeta - Root and Wire

so i've always wondered

what's the difference between dubstep and general electronica

hmmm the emphatic bass line that drives most of the songs are sometimes joined with different reggae samples, or that same bass line is totally different from the general electronica usage of it. The drum beats are mostly dry and slower with a two step rythm.

I guess you have to listen to artists of both movements to fully understand the difference though. Listen to Burial and then listen to any electronica music you listen to. The difference between both is pretty clear tbh.

Idk, I'm not the expert but those are my two cents.

WISH HALP! :(

also i'll go on an elitist rant here electronica isn't a genre it's an umbrella term invented by MTV use the term "electronic music" instead

at least, i've been slapped over the head silly by elitist electronic music fans for using the term "electronica" before so I take special care not to use just so I don't offend anyone over something pointless

Yeah, I don't get what "general electronica" meant tbh, haha, there are so many subgenres etc.

it can be aphex twin as it can be paul van dyke, so yeah.

in my experience it's probably worse for esoteric "no it's not that it's this" tags then metal is

dubstep is just another subgenre i'm sure, but i've heard progressive dubstep being thrown about before and sometimes it overlaps into drum and bass or something and idk

yeah i knew "general electronica" was terrible wording but i couldn't think of any term for what i was talking about

what i was talking about i guess was some sort of fairly typical electronica that doesn't fall into some very specific sub-genre like house or industrial, idk

i tried unsuccessfully to get into this band The Bug once, hearing it called dubstep. But then again i've also heard the term applied to things like Meat Beat Manifesto.

Listen to Burial and the albums we have listed above.

The Bug are okay.

The Bug ain't bad, it's not something I want to listen to a lot of

i'll take a look at these albums

i still haven't found any dubstep i really like except burial

There's better dubstep than Burial tbh

Try Benga, Silkie and Skream seriously.

i'm actually listening to skream right now and it's ok but not great. i'll check the others out though

Listen to Pulshar they sound more like Burial than Skream. I like their Golden Brown cover a lot.

Pulshar rules, Brotherhood is such a good release.

anyone know of some post-hardcore similar to frodus and drive like jehu

any symphonic black metal that isn't corny?

i like kadenzza somewhat, if that helps
