recommendation on music
 

i'm building a carputer soon and would love some suggestions on music to get..

im into rock/alternative/hip hop/ and trance
thanks

Check the Tilted Music forum.

I'm sure they would be glad to help you out there.

Check out Gov't Mule. I love these guys.

yeah gov't mule is awesome...if you like that try widespread panic, phish, moe.

Pink Floyd is the best band ever.

Asta!!

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.

My current fanboyish obsession.

Free, legal mp3s at www.epitonic.com and www.lookoutrecords.com.

Broken Social Scene is a great experimental-indie-rock band, definitely a little trance in there as well... I bet you'd love them. I bought their latest record, You Forgot it in People, and it's just fantastic.

^ My brother in law was checking them out at my house just the other day. He has a shitty internet connection at home and we have DSL so thats why. He discovered that the bassist of the band Do Make Say Think (whom we recently saw in Austin on the 8th of this month) is also a member of Broken Social Scene. I think thats pretty cool. The dude blew my mind when I saw them live. First time I'd ever REALLY heard their music. The band that opened for them (Midlake) we also quite good.

Asta!!

Yeah, Broken Social Scene is actually an ensemble or collaboration of different Canadian musicians. There are a few main key members, but pretty much there's just an array of artists that just come in and "jam"... I use quotations because it's just really bizarre, unconventional playing of music. Anyway, it comes out sounding cool as fuck. Emily Haines from Metric sings on track 7 of the BSS' latest record, just a great song.

Thats pretty interesting to know.

Asta!!

I have recently been listening to Graham Coxon happiness in magazines - and it is a rare treat

Is 'carputer' a typo, or is it a neologism for a hard-drive-based MP3 system for the automobile stereo? 'Cause if it's the latter, that is a cool word.

Hilarious... I got images of Mitch Hedburg floating through my head when you said it that way...

Something else to try would be the new Green Day CD, as well as anything by Alice In Chains...

Good luck :)

I'll also recomend Broken Social Scene, recently I've been listening to their album "You Forgot it in People" a lot. Other than that, I'd really recommend Franz Ferdinand and Interpol off the top of my head.

Great alt. rock band. Lots of downloads.

The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving or Reconstruction site
Lemon Jelly - anything
Daft Punk - Discovery (Homework is good too though)
Royksopp - Melody A.M
Kings of Convienance - any
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi versus the Pink Robots

enjoy!

Since you said Hip-Hop you need to listen to the following as soon as possible..matter of fact before anything else.

The Roots
Wu-Tang Clan
Tribe Called Quest
Talib Kweli
Mos Def
Pharoahe Monch
Common (especially Common)
Binary Star
K-Otix
Dead Prez
Gangstarr
Canibus
Sub Concious
Dilated Peoples
Aesop Rock & Sage Francis (to add an aquired taste)
J-Live
Clokworx

And I suppose that e'll be enough for now.

Asta!!

The latest thing I can think of is a group called Snow Patrol, they sort of sound like Radiohead.

^ I really like Run

Asta!!

I picked up Mos Def's latest album the other day, I haven't been overly impressed with it so far. I thought I'd dig the funk-rock-rap vibe, but I'm wishing it was more like his older flowing hip hop stuff. There are good songs, but he's just not spitting anything like he used to on it... maybe it'll grow on me, I don't know.

Snow Patrol kind of gets on my nerves, but then it might just be the friend who is always pushing them on me. "Run" is a great track, I will agree with that, but I don't like the singer's voice in a lot of the other songs, and the lyrics seem really cheesy and meaningless a lot of the time. The fact that I heard "Spitting Games" a million times in Triple Play 2004 doesn't help things much either.

isn't the Flaming Lips disc called "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots"? either way, i greatly agree with the recommendation.

i'm not that familiar with Godspeed You Black Emperor (never know where to put that damn exclamation point...), but i really like what i've heard and have been meaning to get more to listen to.

If you like Godspeed you should really check out Explosions in the Sky. They are along the lines of Godspeed, but I think they are a bit "heavier" at times. They just played in Chicago for the first time in a very long time and I missed the show due to work. Dammit!

...And I have always seen and put the exclamation point after the You. ie Godspeed You! Black Emperor

I think it comes after Godspeed actually, ala...

Godspeed! You Black Emperor

A friend of mine saw explosions in the sky live...said it was amazing. Tough luck, Brandon. I'll see your GS!YBE and EITS, and raise you the following:

Indie rock (whatever)
magnetic fields
the wrens
the notwist
wilco
slowdive
mogwai
phoenix

electronicish

Check out OPETH, EMPEROR, SYL, DEVON TOWNSEND BAND, NEVERMORE..

metal.

Some of my favorites:

Spoon
Lambchop
Try to download the Slack Album, it's a mix of Jay-z's black album and Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted. I don't like those mash albums all that much but I can't get enough of this one.
Slint
The Postal Service
Built to Spill

Just a couple that I could think of off the top of my head.

My favs:

Wilco

Interpol (first album)
REM
Ceasar's Palace (in US The Ceasars)
Beck
Aphex Twin
Daft Punk
Kings of Convienance
Wilco...
that's enough for now
oh..le tigre and modest mouse

Captain Beefheart - anything off of "Safe as Milk"

I would have to go with Pink Floyd. I love that band more than sex. I could listen to Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall forever.

Bro, those albums are crazy, I can only listen to them a few times, they definately freak me out, groovy shit though, i love pink floyd.

Dan

Venus Hum - not quite trance, but kickass
The Notwist
The Decemberists
The Wrens
Pinback
Pretty Girls Make Graves
I'd like to echoe Ted Leo and the Pharmacists as well as Broken Social Scene

i haven't heard any Venus Hum by themselves, but the version of "I Feel Love" that they do with Blue Man Group on their latest CD and live DVD is pretty kickass. that woman has a great voice...

been meaning to check them out on their own...

Kings X. They were fairly big in the 80's - early 90's but continue to put out an album of really good stuff every year.
