Razorlight... Crap.
Ian Brown... Very very very shite
New Music... ?
Goldie Lookin' Chain... Amusing (think Beastie Boys and add 10 extra guys)
Hope Of The States... Not for me.
Five... Teenage girls band (i saw these with my teenage girls and i sat next to Brian May of Queen)
Pulp... Believe it or not but i like these.
Westlife... Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Sparklehorse... No
Stereophonics... First couple of releases but nowadays Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The Verve.. Very dull.

There you go but then again my taste in music sucks according to a few people here so take no notice of me :D

chiefkaterina - 9-3-2004 at 11:59 AM

Phobiac - 9-3-2004 at 02:37 PM

I can't wait for that

seacaptain - 9-3-2004 at 05:07 PM

Mojo Nixon
Logan's Sanctuary
Can "Tago Mago"
Jim O'Rourke "Bad Timing"

bananaboat - 9-3-2004 at 07:32 PM

The Rapture, and the bands that Evangeline mentioned.

theipodgod16 - 9-3-2004 at 10:06 PM

the killers

prettyvacant - 9-4-2004 at 03:45 AM

oooh!! def the killers, razorlight is good, not goldie lookin chain they are not even funny, hope of the states are a little dull. i'd say eighties matchbox b line disaster - horse of the dog, but its not everyones cup of tea, depends upon what other "styles" of music you like tho.

Evangeline - 9-4-2004 at 11:26 AM

The Shins, Sondre Lerche, and Devendra Banhart, If you want some slower stuff.

WarholDisciple - 9-4-2004 at 07:24 PM

I didn't read all the bands everyone listed so I'm just gonna list some off the top of my head, sorry if they're already been mentioned!
ANYTHING by David Bowie (I licked his guitar by the way!!)
Stellastarr*
The Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart
Hot Hot Heat
Johnny Greenwood
Damnit Audra is making me get off... damn bitch. JAY KAY I'll post more later. Love you like an extended family, buddies.

Evangeline - 9-4-2004 at 07:50 PM

How, and when did you get the chance to lick Bowie's guitar?

WarholDisciple - 9-4-2004 at 09:51 PM

I posted it as a seperate topic... it was most deserving of one, most def.

So more music then:
Sublime
Third Eye Blind - self titled is my fave... most of the time
The Beginning Stages of... The Polyphonic Spree
Big Audio Dynamite
I feel the need to mention both David Bowie and Jonny Greenwood again.
Blind Melon - Nico
Morrissey - anything!
Men at Work - Business as Usual
Oasis - (What's the story) morning glory? and Heathen Chemistry
THE SOUNDS! - Living in America
Grandaddy - Sumday

JunoRedneck - 9-4-2004 at 09:59 PM

I was listening to Sumday when I read that post. Just thought I'd mention that. I prefer Sophtware Slump though. I'm not a big Sumblime fan and I think I might be the only person in Santa Cruz who doesn't like them. Oh well.

To buy:
Pinback - Offcell

WarholDisciple - 9-4-2004 at 10:18 PM

I must say that is quite rebellious of you to live in Santa Cruz and not like Sublime... more power to ya!! I fuckin love that band - definitely crazy about them. Also, I actually agree that Sophtware Slump is better than Sumday, but Sumday first came to mind because I listened to it more recently - pretty cool that you were listening to it when you read that. I love it when crazy shit like that happens to me.

EvilMotivator - 9-5-2004 at 02:12 PM

Seriously Juno, how can you live here and not like Sublime? You so crazy...

So how did you come up with $350 credit at Amoeba? That's pretty sweet.

poobs - 9-5-2004 at 05:08 PM

Any one of the Dead Milkmen's albums.. :yes:

WarholDisciple - 9-5-2004 at 06:41 PM

The Dead Milkmen are awesome!! I recently found one of their Cds at THE 99 CENT STORE!! It was really awesome, but sad at the same time. Sad to see a great band like them selling for just $0.99. I always find good CDs there. And they aren't used either. Man, I love that store!

Phobiac - 9-6-2004 at 11:01 AM

traded in a ton of old cd's. most of my stuff is ripped to my computer. don't know if that's legit or not.

Yea it is, you're allowed to make a copy of stuff you've bought for your own use as a back-up

prettyvacant - 9-6-2004 at 12:10 PM

you got your cd's yet? what did you buy??!!

bananaboat - 9-6-2004 at 03:17 PM

Yea, what did you buy?

elbrandino - 9-6-2004 at 07:54 PM

white stripes, the strokes, the hives, modest mouse, the decemberists, hot hot heat, radio head (i dont care what anybody says i like pablo honey!) flogging molly, violent femmes, obviously the pixies, flaming lips.... what else... uuuuuhhhh... yeah yeah yeahs!

prettyvacant - 9-6-2004 at 11:53 PM

oooo Yeah Yeah Yeah's def. get the EP as well as the album tho, Band is an awesome song, Art Star is my fave tho.:D

Evangeline - 9-7-2004 at 12:27 PM

Wooo, modest mouse! (and white stripes, and flaming lips, and pixies...)
Cool.

WarholDisciple - 9-7-2004 at 12:33 PM

Hot Hot Heat is one of my most favourite bands. Definitely the bee's knees my friend.

Neuwave - 9-7-2004 at 12:39 PM

Damn, I haven't been around in a while, and missed this. I'm going to have to check out some of these suggestions. I pretty much go with anything Sea Cap usually suggests, because he's got mad tastes in music. But right now the only thing on my "to buy" list is "Pascal". I've been hearing them a lot on college radio, and it's all been killer. Here's a link I found:

Pascal

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

poobs - 9-7-2004 at 03:58 PM

I just got the new Bjork cd!! Whoooo!!!

seacaptain - 9-7-2004 at 04:01 PM

I forget what I suggested though!

Oh right, I just looked. I definitely think most Bot and Beck fans would dig Logan's Sanctuary... it's a new wave-y soundtrack with Roger Manning and Jason Falkner and Tony Hoffer and if I remember right, JMJ is on there too. Cool stuff.

I said Mojo Nixon for laughs, though I dig him -- "Destroy All Lawyers" is a great song! Hehe.

Can, of course, are legends to the highest degree...

Phobiac - 9-8-2004 at 11:49 AM

Crazy labor day weekend and never made it to Amoeba. I'll try to make the trek up there this Sunday.

The good thing is that I have many more suggestions to go by now.

I'll also be beefing up my DVD-A collection.

Cool, I like that song too, but I also like Bang.

Neuwave - 9-8-2004 at 03:22 PM

You've inspired me to do some shoppin too. I stopped by Rhino records in Claremont last night to see if they had any "Pascal", but they didn't. I ended up grabbin' Best of Guided By Voices, and Best of MC5 which I've just been turned on to, but I think I'm stoppin' by Amoeba tonight to find Pascal. I must have that now that I am in the mood to buy.

Let me know whay you think of this please..

Phobiac - 9-23-2004 at 08:39 PM

Well Mr. DylerPlummer;

I've only listened to the first track a pulled it out as her vocals were just killing me.

Think Eddie Brickell and then raise the vocals up 10 octaves and add a splash of Jewel. I'll give the other tracks a listen and let you know what I think.

Thanks for all the other recs by the way.

Phobiac

DylerPlummer - 9-23-2004 at 09:49 PM

I only wanted to know cos someone recommended going to see her live.. Said she was amazing.. Hmmmmmm.. I won't rush out to buy the cd but if she plays again then maybe i'll go along.. Cheers Phobiac

Neuwave - 9-24-2004 at 10:53 AM

I just bought Broadcast the other night after a strong reccomendation from foxyhardcore. Pretty good stuff. I'm thinking Lush meets Stereolab. :cool:

Phobiac - 9-24-2004 at 01:12 PM

foxyhardcore....

she's been hiding-out pretty well?

Yeah I've been trying to lure her out of her foxhole, but she's been a busy lady lately. Working museums n' stuff.

nurzetrev - 10-5-2004 at 01:08 AM

did you say DVDA? sheite, you crazy sexy bitch... I'm sure this could go under beat goes
on, but I've been hooked on some Fiery Furnaces "Blueberry Boat" recently...
as well if you haven't heard VAZ' 'dying to meet you' you should check that out...as
well there's a VAZ/Seawhores split cd out called 'Vazzed in a sea of whores' that's really rocked
in the past few weeks. If you like new wave avant jazz (?), the Trevor Dunn Trio Convulsant Cd
'Sister phantom owl fish' is fucking awesome...and it's been a few years, but this is still really good,
check out Concentrick "Tender machines"...very nice...mm'hmm

DoctorToothSecret - 10-5-2004 at 08:57 PM

I love Mr. Trevor. I love Oliver more.

nurzetrev - 10-5-2004 at 09:09 PM

Oliver Moore...is he related to Roger Moore? ...harharhar

DoctorToothSecret - 10-5-2004 at 09:17 PM

yes.
