8163. Ms. No - 3/31/2006 5:39:55 PM In the last year or so I've been hearing a lot of heavy 70's and 80's influence in the "alternative" bands. It's still early days for most of them, but I'd be quite happy with compilation CDs from this period. Franz Ferdinand, the Killers, Hot Hot Heat, She Wants Revenge, The Strokes, Muse, The Mars Volta, The Dead 60's, The Bravery, Snow Patrol, Arcade Fire, Deathcab for Cutie.
BTW, if you're looking for more eclectic stuff and you happen to have broadband connections, www.kcrw.com has a bunch of excellent music programs that are available streaming and archived. Hell, all their programming is good. It's worth checking out even if you don't live in the States. 8164. Ms. No - 3/31/2006 5:54:22 PM Alistair,
You might give Nickel Creek a listen. You can catch an...oh, crap, no broadband, right? Well, if you manage to get to a fast enough connection at any point. The link I just posted for KCRW, look up their show "New Ground" and check the archive for Nickel Creek. There's an interview but they actually play 5-7 songs so you'll get a good sense of what they sound like.
It's a bluegrass band, but not in a twangy, hillbilly sense. These kids are amazing and there's a kind of trick-pony cover song that they do during this interview that has to be heard to be believed.
Actually, I highly recommend this archived show to anyone who doesn't get a rash at the first notion of hearing fiddles. If the thought of bluegrass makes you cringe then think of it as Celtic music instead and that might soothe you. If that doesn't do the trick then maybe you'll have to pass, but, truly, Nickel Creek is one of the best things to come out of the new century. 8165. uzmakk - 3/31/2006 6:53:39 PM I want the eyeball banner at the head of this thread changed to "Kick Jexster's ass." 8166. uzmakk - 3/31/2006 6:56:09 PM Ms. No,
Community concert series. 8167. judithathome - 3/31/2006 11:27:53 PM Too much visible ego in that particular song for me.
Uz, I meant to address this earlier...the song is about the guy's funeral so of course it would be full of ego. Just sayin'. 8168. Adam Selene - 4/1/2006 3:07:26 AM Ms No - I'm glad you like her! I saw her in concert at the Birchmere in january (washington dc) and she just blew me away! I'm going to see her on broadway (as Pollie Peachum in Threepenny Opera) this spring. I can't remember when I've been so taken with a performer, but she is just amazing, especially in person. 8169. uzmakk - 4/1/2006 3:29:41 AM Well, Judith, that certainly explains things. 8170. Ulgine Barrows - 4/1/2006 8:03:12 AM 8146. Ms. No

8175. Ulgine Barrows - 4/1/2006 8:57:06 AM judithathome is gonna have a field day with my typos ~ 8176. Ulgine Barrows - 4/1/2006 8:58:59 AM and, if you sign up for emusic and don't tell me, I'm angry. 8177. alistairConnor - 4/1/2006 10:23:17 PM Thank you 'Zno for the recs... I will probably sign up for what passes for broadband out here in the sticks... end of the line, 512k when it works... should be enough for music, I'm not looking for video. 8178. arkymalarky - 4/2/2006 12:04:31 AM Lost another damned post.
Alistair, I thought you had broadband. I have been wondering about mobile kits for RVs and contacted Internet in Motion, but they don't even have a dealer in AR. I think HP now has a laptop with it built in--like your own hotspot. I don't know anything about it, but if anyone does, I'd love to find out. I'll keep an eye out in the Technology thread. 8179. Ms. No - 4/2/2006 2:48:28 AM What's DRM?
8180. anomie - 4/7/2006 6:31:00 PM Hey Ms. No, I picked up Fiona Apple's "When the Pawn" from the library. First time I've heard her album stuff and it's very good. I like the energy. She doesn't sound like anyone else, but I hear Tom Waits in the music and arrangments.
I got another Tori Amos cd I didn't like very much. Fortunarly it was from the library too. Can't rememebr the name but the song Cornflake Girl is on it.
So 3 for 3 female artists of late. Not bad. 8181. anomie - 4/7/2006 6:34:29 PM Anyone know of Ottmar Liebert...a sort of new-agy flamenco guitarist? His first cd was very good if you like guitar music. I'm watching a concert video of his I got from Netflix right now. Good way to sample his style for very little cost. 8182. Ms. No - 4/7/2006 8:34:59 PM Anomie,
Ah, yes, Cornflake Girl is off of her second album - Under the Pink. I like that particular song mainly because the piano sends me into raptures --- also because it's available to sing at my regular hangout on their karaoke night and nobody but me ever even tries any of her stuff. I get a kick out of it because she's one of the few contemporary sopranos whose songs I can sing.
I'm glad you enjoyed When the Pawn. My current fave off that one is Paper Bag but I really like Fast As You Can and I Will, as well. Apple's first album, Tidal, is less electronic, more just her and the piano in a torchy, jazz-club singer kind of mode and the Nina Simone influence is very apparent. I'll have to go back and listen to some of my Tom Waits and then Apple again because I wouldn't have thought of them together if you hadn't mentioned it.
It's always a good time to give Tom Waits another spin!
