Music thread

Shania Twain.

Mild-mannered, Canadian AOR 90's bland bollocks.

You'd never buy one of her CD's but you would, er....you know....do the whatsit with her...probably.....what with that leopard skin catsuit and that....anyway......

Check this shit out:




She's gone all fucking Floyd!

If you were blindfolded against your will and were then lead into that arena, you could well be forgiven for thinking that you'd dropped lucky and were about to enjoy 2 hours of top rock music.

For the first three minutes at least....

But then the synth kicks in...and the truth is revealed.

Boots though......

I need some new tunes.

I sit at work and have to listen to 80s pop and The XX all day long. When did they take over the world?

Any suggestions? Howard Jones and ABC definitely not what I'm looking for.

This sounds like one for KP....

you've come to the right man Fin 

Holy Esque - one of my favourite bands over the last 12 months, a great post punk guitar band from Glasgow

Jagwar Ma have a new album out which is good, electronic/dance but influenced by Madchester bands

Toy, Gengahr, Glass Animals, Honeyblood, Cheatahs and Courtney Barnett are all indie/guitar types are all good

if you want something more electronic try Haelos, Gymnast, Floating Points, Kiasmos (i think you know the last 2  already?) and C Duncan

I'm sure there are plenty more i could think of

one i did forget about was a band called Pumarosa, they've had a few singles out so far and they are all excellent, this one is a blinder

Thanks, mate. Jagwar Ma and especially Toy are up my street so I'll check these other bands out. Mucho appreciated!

I have quite a varied taste in music I'll have you know.

I wouldn't disappoint at a party.

yes very varied KP, it goes from shit to extremely shit to unlistenable

I don't think it's your eclectic taste in music that make you the attraction at "parties" KP 

the latest offering from Pumarosa, trust me they are great

I like that.

Patti Smith meets The Chameleons.

Top stuff.

The very wonderful, Ivor Cutler.

Did you ever listen to Xmal Deutschland, Pig?

not heard them before, very Goth sounding, did you dress in black back in the day Fin?

Dressed in black pretty much since I was 11, mate. Apart from a brief flirtation with the whole Madchester scene when I often looked more like a technicolour yawn. Mrs McD commented 'getting a bit adventurous aren't we?' when I bought a gray scarf last weekend.

I'm much the same. I don't look much different at a funeral than I do at a party.

Got this lady's album the other day and it's excellent. If you like your folk and Americana this will be right up your street
