OPEN THREAD: What Are You Listening To?

Have you ever looked flipped through your record collection/iTunes playlist/music device and sighed and shaken your head and chosen to sit in silence because there’s nothing you want to listen to and you know that if you play your favourite record/s just one more time this week then you won’t want to listen to it ever again? Have you ever done that? I have, approximately 20+ times in the past 48 hours.

I need new music. I want to listen to what you’re listening to.

    • Believe it or not Samantha Ronson is an awesome singer/songwriter. I’ve been bootlegging her music from youtube for some time now. But she’s coming out with a whole album called “chasing the reds” in the near future…so look out.

  3. Right now I’m in love with national music. So I mostly listen venezuelan bands like Rawayana, Americania, Los Mesoneros, Viniloversus and La Vida Bohéme…

    And, english..Mmmm, Yuksek, Clare Maguire, Chester French, Bloodhound Gang, and my dearest Liverpool dudes. The Beatles

  4. Ohhhhhhhh ! Russian Red. She’s like the Spanish Feist, who sings in English, so… 1) super cute accent 2) super catchy pop ditties and yes she is also stunningly super duper cute herself! Win win win. I’d say listen to cigarettes first

  6. I’m ALL over the place!

    I’m loving the new Kittie singles (“Empires (Part 2)” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYXFQ5y4iG4). I’ve rediscovered The Bird and The Bee (“Polite Dance Song” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhDVSiidt_4). The new Evanescence single sounds promising (“What You Want” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoJpLruXMq4) And Dan Mangan’s new single is very sweet (“Oh Fortune” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lHC2taJn5k)

  8. My summer has consisted almost entirely of The Magnetic Fields, Sufjan Stevens, and St. Vincent (who’s dropping a new album pretty soon).

    And then on course, there’s Andrew Bird and Wilco, who just never get old to me.

    But I just started listening to a guy called Jim O’Rourke who quite talented. Really big on minimalism, if any one’s into that kind of stuff.

  10. My friends were just here for a visit and deposited a lot of new music on me so I have a lot of feelings about this right now. There are two intensely creepy and good songs by Timber Timbre:

    Bad Ritual: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJU4k1Lrhh0
    Lonesome Hunter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R-Ikfyh-6Q

    The Horrors’ new album (Skying) is pretty great, I like this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJQk0jDZx8o

    “Tin Man” by Future Islands is like if Tom Waits had a baby with the Arcade Fire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GhtZt2HYkM

    and this thing by Danger Mouse/Daniele Luppi has Jack White on vocals and I’m still sad about the White Stripes calling it quits so I’ll listen to anything with him in it. Also it’s legitimately good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UibsjY5K-c

  12. Also, get on Fucked Up’s ‘David Comes To Life’ if you haven’t yet. Ughhhh so good. It’s like a half-naked, sweaty drunk hug for your ears.

  13. Late Summer Lounge Mix

    Marian – Letter (Marek Hemmann & Fabian Reichelt)
    Röyksopp – So Easy
    Summer in Paris DJ Cam (feat. Anggun) Hotel Costes
    Kronstadt Impulse – So Alive (Original Mix)
    Tosca – Rosa (Rodney Hunter Version)
    Ellen Allien – Flashy Flashy (Nicolas Jaar Remix)
    Io – Jeton (Original Mix)
    The Searchers – Stay in Love (Nicolas Jaar Edit)
    The Whitest Boy Alive – High On The Heels
    The Whitest Boy Alive – Courage
    Hot Chip – The Warning

  14. Whoops, clicked too soon. What I meant to say before was at the moment, I’m listening to Danger Mouse’s ‘Grey Album’ over and over because of my dissertation, but in terms of recreational listening, diggin’ on Admiral Fallow (FFO Frightened Rabbit, Aztec Camera, etc.), AgesandAges, Dillon Francis, tUnE-yArDs like everyone else that works here and Sly and the Family Stone all the time forever and ever. Also that one Empire of the Sun single that I can’t get out of my head ever. Also, that one track where Kanye and Jay-Z sample Otis Redding. Mostly because that beat is just I can’t even.

    Also also also that version of ‘Immigrant Song’ by Karen O and Trent Reznor that’s in the U.S. ‘Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ trailer. Surprisingly wonderful.

    • i am not going to lie to you: while writing my spanish final this past june i listened to ‘judas’ on repeat probably over twenty five times.

      so, obsessive listening to the end of getting a piece of schoolwork done? been there. i hope, however, that your dissertation is actually related to danger mouse, and that your obsessive(?) listening therein is more productive than mine.

  17. Colbie Caillat, The Corrs, the RENT soundtrack, Glee, Pink, Bon Jovi and other classic rock have been on repeat on my itunes.

    • Fuck yeah The Corrs! Wasn’t expecting to see them in any of these comments haha, my friend and I joke that if they have another tour we’ll be the only ones in the audience.

  19. I’ve been listening to mostly mellow music lately with lots of guitars/string instruments and drums (best description I have). Namely:

    Danielle Ate The Sandwich (ukulele player) http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/danielle-ate-the-sandwich/id305980421
    Forest City Lovers http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/forest-city-lovers/id251615229

    Chris Pureka http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/chris-pureka/id15900794
    Thao Nguyen http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/thao/id270886385

    Yup.

  20. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Townes VanZandt: http://youtu.be/zaP8NGML_QE, Jose Gonzalez: http://youtu.be/TZfxBwNjfC4, and Sun Kil Moon: http://youtu.be/AKRA7weVyLs

    Some young local(ish) bands to me that I go see and/or listen to on the regular are:
    Witches(Female fronted growly postpunk from Athens GA): http://www.myspace.com/witchestheband
    The State Of(All girl power pop duo from Miami FL): http://www.thestateofmusic.com/
    Towers of Hanoi(Another female fronted sexy post punk group from Gainesville FL): http://www.myspace.com/towersofhanoi (listen to “I just ate my only friend” first)

    OK, I could probably go on for awhile but I’ll stop here for now. If anyone wants more underground southeastern fare just let me know!

    *Cori

    • Have you heard of The Moaners? They’re a female duo, kinda punk-influenced. Their music makes me imagine if Flannery O’Connor was a kickass drummer and Eudora Welty was her chainsmoking guitarist and you got drunk and high with them out on your porch one summer night.

  21. Rubyfruit Radio is a podcast/website that has tons of great music all by female artists and female fronted bands. I’ve heard of a ton of great things from this show (rubyfruitradio.com).
    Things I’ve learned about from there or am listening to a lot lately are
    tune-yards
    hank and cupcakes
    lykke li
    sarah jaffe
    lissie
    i blame coco
    hunter valentine (omg. hot hot hot)
    grimes
    cocknbullkid

  23. Chris Von Sneidern. He writes/produces everything himself, and it’s absolutely amazing if you are into 60s-70s era power pop. I listen to him (and Tegan and Sara, I’ll admit) ALL THE TIME.

    • This is weird. I wanted to post this totally innocent thing about how rad Selah Sue and Peggy Lee are, and my ‘comment is awaiting moderation’? I didn’t even know that Autostraddle did that at all?

        • Yeah, it’s because of the links. There were many comments waiting for moderation – not just yours, Paloma. Sorry it took so long.

          • Sorry if I sounded annoyed up there. Didn’t mean to: I could’ve frased a bit nicer. I was just confused, I guess. Oh well. Sorry ’bout that.

            Moral is, Selah Sue and Peggy Lee are rad. Yay !

  27. **** MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS!!! **** If you haven’t heard of her you must check her out. Not only is she a hottie but down to earth. Just watch one of her interviews on youtube and you’ll be smitten. Great songs to check out are..well, all of them..but most notably: Shampaign, Oh No!, Satisfied and Hollywood

  28. Stacey Randol is a girl I went to college with, she is a blast! And an amazing person and she just put her first album out and I cannot stop listening to it! Her voice is so creamy and wonderful! I highly recommend her!!

  32. Ooh! Oooh! Has anyone said Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs?

    They are a band from a small town in Washington, and I’ve seen them live twice, in very small venues. Now, suddenly, they’re skyrocketing to fame after Mike McCready from PEARL JAM (WOOT!) decided to take them under his wing. The whole band is so impressed with Star Anna that they put them on their PJ20 (20th anniversary of Ten…yeah, I’m old, what of it) weekend celebration.

    Also, she’s slightly lesbionic if you ask me. I’m jus sayin.

  35. For the conscious hip-hop lovers out there, I’ve been listening to the Narcicyst, Omar Offendum and Lowkey nonstop.

  36. –James Blake, “The Wilhelm Scream” or any other songs of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVgEaDemxjc
    –Oh Land, “White Nights”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LcL7MAqwOc&feature=player_embedded#at=64
    –Whitney Monge (amazing local Seattle artist!): http://www.youtube.com/user/whitneylovemonge#p/a/u/1/bjqT-5WuNVI http://www.youtube.com/user/whitneylovemonge#p/a/u/2/pzicXvy9Dvc
    –Little Dragon, “Ritual Reunion” or anything of theirs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igo678TTSKU

  38. Recently discovered The Joy Formidable out of England. They made some noise with their appearance at Lollapalooza and with good reason.

    Alt rock with a female lead.

  39. Please please please check out the band Walk the Moon. They play fun happy poppy catchy music and they need to have way more fans than they do. Check out the video for their song “Anna Sun”. Warning, you will become obsessed.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW7f54tVRmQ

    And I’m boring, I’ve been listening to Arcade Fire, The Beatles and Oasis pretty much exclusively for the last 3 weeks. Also, the Black Eyed Peas.

    • YES WALK THE MOON!!!! They are awesome. I saw them at the Sweetlife Festival this year. I’ve gotten all of my friends obsessed with Anna Sun, but the rest of their album is just as good. They are going to be huge one day.

  41. Now, Now [Every Children] has become my new favorite band.
    Also, An Horse.
    Bon Iver’s new album is pure magic.
    Kaki King.

    Yum. <3

    • The latest Bon Iver album gave me Corinne Bailey Rae vibes. Completely different generes of music, but have you ever listened to her music? It’s beautiful, but she whispers all the way through and its lulling… The I go to sleep. I was on a mini 2-hour road trip and it was raining and was 1:30 AM and Bon Iver’s Wisconsin dream almost landed me in a ditch. Lol I couldn’t stay up! But it is magical.

      I just needed to blast some hoodrat music to keep me alert, so I put on my Latarian Milton mixtape http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcqOgnQyXp4

  42. I could honestly sit here listing bands all day however im going to narrow it down to a few:

    If you like smashing pumpkins then silversun pickups are likely to get the seal of approval too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqZHIQp0ok0

    The distillers, hell yes not to mention i’m a little bit in love with Brody dalle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upv431GMMvg

    Lady antebellum, for those into country pop (it’s nothing to be ashamed of, we’re all friends here): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaOKbvpxnTo&feature=relmfu

    Bloc party, all day. every day.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUGTMWfQwKY&feature=fvst

    City and colour, awesome acoustic music from Dallas green of Alexisonfire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaYecSQlT84

    Less than Jake, ska-punk and featured on the digimon soundtrack which I think is reason enough in itself to give it a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYIx0sFNDH4

    Three days grace, alternative metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYIx0sFNDH4

    Yellowcard, pop-punk and a song that always puts me in a good mood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fLbfzCqWw

    • I’m getting into KPop too! I’m addicted to 2NE1 and f(x) in particular.

      And Amber from f(x)? Amber is gay. She’s gay. If she’d stayed in the US, she’d be calling herself Ace and wearing a wallet chain and a wife beater every day like half of the baby butches in the entire country.

    • Wow I definitely didn’t realize he went solo! Currently downloading Go on iTunes. I’ve been on an Icelandic post-rock kick lately…lots of Sigur Ros and Amiina

  48. Rainbow Arabia – Without You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r6amYnItng)

    -Cage the Elephant (Cage the Elephant)
    -Daft Punk (Tron: Legacy)
    -Disturbed (Asylum)
    -Flogging Molly (Speed of Darkness)
    -Frank Sinatra (Nothing But the Best)
    -Girl Talk (All Day)
    -Hammerfall (Masterpieces)

    -The Nightwatchman (One Man Revolution)(Fabled City)
    -Scatterheart (Masterplan)
    -Voltaire (Live!)

  53. Natalia Kills. She is super hot and her music is addicting. And no one in america knows who she is except me it seems.

  54. Sophie Hunger!! I’m coming out of my year-old lurk-dom just to gush about her, that’s how awesome she is! She’s a swiss artist who sings in English/French/German/Swiss German and is basically fucking amazing. Seriously. In Switzerland she’s quite popular but, as it is with stuff that comes from Switzerland, she’s not really internationally known. Should be though, because again, fucking amazing.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cob10vdCP6E&feature=related

  55. i’ve been listening to a lot of radiohead lately, also have you ever heard of chairlift? they wrote a song called ‘bruises’ which is apparently really popular, but the rest of the album is really good too, it’s called ‘does you inspire you’ and I THINK YOU WOULD LIKE IT CRYSTAL

  56. Shiiiit, you guys have formidable music taste! I haven’t heard of more than half these bands and will have to check some of them out. I have been listening to:

    Tilly and the Wall
    The Unicorns
    Buena Vista Social Club
    Electric President
    Kid Cudi
    LCD Soundsystem
    and Skrillex.

    I know, I listen to hipster shit. But it’s so good.

  58. Eisley’s new album has been on repeat for about two days now. I’m going to see them in San Antonio next month and it is going to be SO MAGICAL.

    Also, The Gossip has been in heavy rotation at the gym along with The Sounds.

  60. Here’s a sampling of toothsome sounds from a couple different genres:

    The Gaslight Anthem
    Desmond Dekker
    The Mountain Goats
    Streetlight Manifesto
    P.O.S.
    Dessa
    The Tallest Man on Earth
    Motion City Soundtrack
    The Swellers

  61. Hardcore:
    Within Temptation
    Nightwish
    Leaves’ Eyes
    Lacuna Coil

    Classical:
    Calling All Dawns
    http://www.christophertin.com/callingalldawns.html

    Folk/Singer-Songwriter:
    Vienna Teng (City Hall will make you cry… or maybe that’s just me)
    The Weepies
    Peter Bradley Adams

    World:
    Loreena McKennitt
    Juanes
    Maná

    I’m kind of a crazy music person (read: music major who instead of turning my nose up at non-classical music, accepts it with open arms)… and I can offer more suggestions if need be. ;)

    • ahhh…except “hardcore” just brings to mind a bunch of mindless karate-esque dance moves on the dance floor! haha…all good rock/metal bands there for sure ;) i’m really looking forward to hearing a sampling of what’s to come from lacuna coil’s new album in november.

      • Fair enough. I just get so many weird looks for talking about “symphonic metal” which would’ve been my title of choice. I am also looking forward to the new album. :)

        • Ohhh, well then yeah that totally makes sense then :)

          I really love all the directions those bands have been taking lately…except for Leaves’ Eyes – only bc I don’t know their music all that well. Another symphonic metal band that I listen to quite often is Epica…SOOOO good!

          Yay for a fellow metalhead on AS!! :D

  62. Can’t stop listening to Active Child (his new album is going to be SO good) and How to Dress Well (his orchestral EP Just Once makes me float)

    • YES I LOVE BRAIDS. i’m so happy that somebody mentioned them. i saw them a few weeks ago at bluesfest, and they were unbelievable.. can’t wait to see them perform again when they tour in october.

  67. Best queer band I know. Girlyman. They are an awesome queer, folk harmony band. My favorite song is Young James Dean.

  71. Of late:

    Sera Cahoone
    Mirah
    Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
    Otis Redding
    Johnny Cash
    Blur
    The Thermals

    Hope you enjoy! :D

  74. i recently listen a lot to

    The Naked And Famous
    Thao and Mirah
    and
    The Kills

    its really great stuff!

    • I just really like that one Thao and Mirah song about love, but the rest of the album I could honestly do without. I like the stuff with the get down stay down better. But then I generally believe musician’s do the worst work when they are happy and in love so, maybe it’s just me.

    • forgot Christian Hansen and the Autistics,
      Said the Whale
      Cake
      oh, oh! Foster the People! a must must must!
      The Joy Formidable
      the Stills.
      Naked and famous.
      kay, done now. i could post in this thread for the next three years at least.

    • GOOD LORD. I just posted those two top ones. Alynda Lee is my biggest crush. I met her in New Orleans during a wedding after party once. I had to pretend I didn’t know who she was.

      • Nona Marie Invie (Dark Dark Dark) is so awkward it’s irresistible. Also check out the singer for Y La Bamba! Totally crush-worthy. Jealous you got to meet Alynda Lee!

        • Yes yes, I’ve seen a few videos of Nona. She a babe for sure. Hmm, I’ll have to look up the other. You should also check out Emily Jane White and Alela Diane. They’re gorge and they’ve got that mournful female folk tone that’s oh so lovely.

          • Yes! I agree with both! I see your Alela and Emily and raise you Sharon Van Etten, Wildbirds & Peacedrums and Grass Widow.

    • MUSIC IN SPANISH IS MY FAVORITE. I like Bomba estereo especially these days. And lots of reggaeton. AND RABIOSA. SPANISH VERSION. ON REPEAT.

    • I love Nina Simone…Feelin’ Good is possibly my favorite song of all time.

      And Stars rock! They’re fantastic in concert, if you haven’t already/ever get a chance to see them.

  91. GIVERS are my number one obsession. The female vocalist, Tiffany Lamson, is not gay as far as I know, but she’s extremely crush-worthy regardless. http://youtu.be/fv198zSSQKs

    Other bands that have been in heavy rotation for me this summer: Generationals, Smith Westerns, Warpaint, White Demin, The Black Keys.

  93. Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile!
    Her voice is amazing and watching videos of her preforming live on youtube makes me squeal because of her passion when singing!
    She is incredibly hot with a nice smile too!

  94. The Antlers – Burst Apart
    and
    Washed Out – Within and Without
    have been my albums of the summer

  95. Biking/Gardening albums I’ve been into:

    Rosa, I Mississippi You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glgr2cX4d4s

    Punch, Push Pull: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8x09o6ntBs

    Ida Maria, Queen of the World: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4TN2sgxvLo

  97. I get a lot of my new music via song of the day podcasts off iTunes. I recommend KEXP’s, The Current’s, & KCRW’s.

    I also do this thing where I pick up an album or band a few months/years after they are super popular. Seems to be the way I combat getting a case of POS or POA (played out song/album) because I am not saturated with the music everywhere I turn.

    My tops at the moment
    City & Colour (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er5BJuO0KEo)
    Bon Iver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofLN12NKkb8)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0-HLG7Dxec

    – Wye Oak: met them in Paris and they’re lovely! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2guLl6Hmwo

    – The Naked and Famous: been listening to them non-stop since last Autumn
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdO85Qf4Poc

    – Portishead: Just saw them two weeks ago live for the first time ever, was a long time coming and was epic!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF-GvT8Clnk

    – Bjork: Just saw her Biophilia show in Manchester a couple of weeks ago, she’s back to awesome old school Bjork!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZhkfwrxNOc

    – Friendly Fires: Dance party awesomeness, saw them a couple of months ago and counting down the days til I see them in Nov. Love the new album!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRprP5JWet8

    – Miike Snow
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RGAPWxTe5g

    and the usuals Adele, Sia, Regina, Warpaint, Feist, Stars, BSS etc….

  101. the song An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail by Lovers is great
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfDGZRxPrBw
    in fact their entire album Darklight is really great (the linked song is not on it)
    and the song Winter Takes a Lover by Lovers has the best line: “So I lay in my room and I dream of the colours that make water move and a body discover why so many choose to lay with a lover”
    Though I’m truly in love with Athens Boys Choir.

  102. According to my ipod, I’ve had the following people on repeat:

    Drake
    Incubus
    Innerpartysystem
    Linkin Park
    Lupe Fiasco
    Nas And Damian Marley
    Oasis
    A Perfect Circle
    Pitbull
    Sade
    Sarah McLachlan
    Wisin y Yandel
    Wiz Khalifa

    Enjoy :)

    • What Incubus record? I’ve been listening to S.C.I.E.N.C.E (Incubus) on a daily basis, it’s one of those albums that I need to stop playing or else I’ll never want to play it again.

  103. This thread is lacking in Canadian Content. Good thing that’s pretty much all I listen to:

    Mother Mother http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll_uRniGtmA
    Tokyo Police Club http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCqyVGcLVmI
    Joel Plaskett http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hljW9uOcFpM
    Dan Mangan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hviiGCkVMiY
    Hannah Georgas (soo cute!!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-appBwYxS0
    Hey Ocean! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dz73dsMAkE
    The Dudes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obDnGnIDD7s
    Sam Roberts Band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsnvzzA5UrI
    The New Pornographers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KZANuDcRO4
    Oh, and this little band called Tegan and Sara, you may have heard of them before.

    • speaking of Canadians, right now I’m playing Our Lady Peace’s “Clumsy” and it’s hitting the spot.

    • holy shit mother mother. eureka is the best thing to happen to my ears since i stopped singing without background noise.
      additionally: interpol, hard-fi, the strokes, arcade fire.

  104. I’d recommend: simple plan (alternative rock/punk) anything by them is great as long as it doesn’t “feature” another artist. you may recognize their singles “perfect” or “welcome to my life”
    the moody blues (’60’s-’80’s rock) I only know the songs from “the best of the moody blues” album. top singles from them would be “the voice” “I’m just a singer ( in a rock n roll band)” “gemini dream”
    paramore (alternative) new single “monster” is awesome
    any disney songs or movie/musical soundtracks
    dionysos (french band) im pretty sure their music was inspired by tim burton movies. “le jour le plus froid du monde” reminds me of “edward scissor hands”
    “tais-toi mon coeur” is my favorite of theirs.
    O-Zone (romania band) “dragostea din tei” trust me you will recognize it when you hear it

  107. WHY DO I ALWAYS MISS THE OPEN THREADS?!

    I’ve been listening to tUnE-yArDs, some Supremes, Beirut, the Civil Wars, some classic rap/hip-hop, Sleater-Kinney, Sleigh Bells (always), Eleanor Friedberger, Gossip, and Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours,” which has been on constant repeat on my iPod since I discovered what an awesome song “Gold Dust Woman” is.

  108. the Joy Formidable. And the lead singer is gorgeous!

    Also The Kills .. with another badass female vocalist.

    • You reminded me that I have the new joy formidables album buried at the bottom of a cardboard box somewhere (moving house) and i haven’t played it yet. thank you, i will find it and listen.

  111. Not new but when you want a change from mellow alternative (Ingrid Michealson, Norah Jones, Priscilla Ahn), be a theater geek and listen to the BEST MOST HEART-WRENCHING MUSICAL EVER: LES MISERABLES. See how excited they were for the anniversary?- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srRL_7unz9A We should be too.

  112. I’ve been listening to Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, the original version for piano, since I’m currently in the process of arranging it for wind ensemble. If you’ve only ever heard Ravel’s orchestral version of it, it’s definitely worth a listen:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM-ZpfwZMps

    (The uploader has all the other movements on their page, and they’re linked in the sidebar.)

  113. This thread is overwhelming, like it’s gonna take me months to listen to everything (and I want to)
    here’s my contribution:
    Dessa (she’s a part of the Doomtree collective which was mentioned above). There’s something so wonderfully queer about this song/music video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eQL3BrRqM8&feature=relmfu
    also
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2_aY9gYTF0&feature=relmfu

    Umphrey’s McGee
    Their music is hard to categorize, other than awesome!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fg8vs6jDug

    Greensky Bluegrass (this vid’s from Halloween which is why they’re all in costumes)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X-X1jNi9CA

    Other than that this summer I’ve been listening to a lot of the Autostraddle playlists, they helped me discover Modest Mouse and Passion Pit who are fab.

  115. I’ve gotten really into Matt and Kim all over again, that band brings back awesome memories for me! I had a friend who’s dad manages them and one night when I was at her place I got to hear a bunch of tracks from Sidewalks before they were released to the public.

  116. Dear and the Headlights
    Lemuria
    The Tontons (I am seeing them tonight. Hooray!)
    The Hush Sound
    Janelle Monae
    The Black Ghosts

  117. Oh! So many good ones already mentioned (Wye Oak, anything Thao Nguyen-related, YACHT, basically everything else), but I have to add:

    I dig all of their releases, but their latest one “Just In Case We’ll Never Meet Again (Soundtrack for the Cassette Generation)” is quite good :)

  125. WINTER IN ALASKA. That is all. He is amazing, and quite obscure, and it is so relaxing. This music is for all of my feelings.

  127. James Blake!!!!
    Listen to “limit to your love” and “wilhelm’s scream” and then download the entire album. He is so great, and a really smart musician.

    The video for “wilhelm’s scream” (which, little known fact, is a cover of his dad’s cheesy love song from the 70s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVgEaDemxjc

  132. My current favorite band is Germany Germany. They’ve gots some great free stuff on their bandcamp page and i highly recommend their album radiowave. (actually i think the band is just one dude…not sure) and they do awesome remixes!! check out their remix of a death cab song called New Year.

  138. If I’m being absolutely honest, my friend introduced me to New Beat, which is this late eighties early nineties genre of bad bad bad dance music which is like… industrial meets 90s house. Soo, my playlist has been full of gems like this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Hu9EdvMYg (this is a hilarious video)

    Other than that, been playing the new Gang Gang Dance, Austra and tune-yards endlessly.

  139. AND HOW COULD I FORGET:

    T & The Wonder
    fantastic dream pop/baroque rock band Im just getting into.

    They recently released a new EP which is free to download and their debut (and only) album is free to download for this month… so get on this shit ASAP.

  140. Today i’m listening to a lot of green day and deftones. it’s like 1998 in here.

    Has anyone heard Theophilus London’s new album, ‘Timez Are Weird These Days’? I didn’t think I’d dig it but I kinda did, it’s a decent jam. except for track 8. also it has vocals by sara quin and holly miranda, which is nice.

  141. My summer would not be complete without a heavy rotation of Lucero. (The Southern punk-influenced rockabilly band, not the Latina actress/singer.) They just write such awesome lyrics of drunken grit and heart, like this:

    “life is short, in spite of your plans
    so tell the girls they’re pretty while you can
    ’cause one day they’re gone
    and all you got left
    some empty bottles and an old country song”

    Ke$ha- Duh she’s a total feminist, you just don’t realize it yet.

  144. I’ve been listening to a lot of Green Day’s live stuff off of their ‘Bullet in a Bible’ and ‘Awesome of F**k’ discs. They’re an fantastic live band.

  147. I can’t really recommend any “new” music since I’m usually the last to know about any great new artists, but here’s a sampling of what I’ve been listening to lately:

    Neko Case — Prison Girls
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sLNVRIndYI

  148. It appears that you all have great and interesting tastes! I cannot wait to waste all day tomorrow listening to everyone’s music.

    I’ve been listening to:
    Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone
    a track from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD1NraO6pCg

    magnificent example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIDOEsQL7lA

  149. Can’t stop listening to Adele, 21 is SO AMAZING.
    Getting really into Lykke Li.
    Just bought Beyoncé’s new album, and all I can say is damn. Really really good.

    I gotta second the tune-yards and sleater-kinney movements and would like to propose:

    1. The Slits

    Dreaming In Color by Dame

  154. Murs (murs for president), eyedea and abilities (haymaker), atmosphere (lucy ford), drake (thank me later)

  155. Some pretty good bands up here. Crazy that nobody has mentioned the Jezabels, my favourite Australian band. Especially their EP Dark Storm. Hurt me is such a good song! They are really wonderful musicians, too.
    Loving Jamie Woon, Austra, Kings of Convenience (and the Whitest Boy Alive), Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Jonathan Jeremiah at the moment.
    Kaki King has become my sort of all-time favourite. Especially her instrumental songs are really great, and she has such funny song titles sometimes.
    Also, some movie soundtracks (500 days of summer, Anyway the Wind Blows (Belgian movie) and sometimes Chicken Run, but that can be annoying :) ).

  156. so many amazing picks here!

    i have been non-stop rocking old school fugees this summer, but also girl talk, tune-yards, yacht (psychic city is my jam!), sarah harmer, neon indian, and joni mitchell.

  159. Seeker Lover Keeper
    Two Door Cinema Club
    Sparkadia
    Wombats
    Papa vs Pretty
    Hungry Kids of Hungary

  161. I just have to mention the very talented singer September, a gorgeous chick with super cool icy blond hair. She’s from sweden but does most songs in english so you guys can understand :P

    She sports an alternative haircut which has become rather popular… Otherwise i would have it right now ^^

    Nice pic of her:
    http://photos-2.posh24.com/p/1220404/z/molly_sanden/petra_marklund_september_blond.jpg

    Interesting futuristic/ 80s inspired video with her in a spandex / cat suit: …. ^^
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qux6PhqbBBU&feature=related

    Children’s song about a teddy bear named Fredriksson: <3
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3X5n8Q5oPA

  162. recommending music is possibly one of my favourite things, even if no-one likes what i suggest… they’re just not listening right haha here’s a few that i’ve been listening to lately:

    abbe may (just released a newbie… here’s a rather enjoyable video, even if her music isn’t your thing :P) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iaJgX5scSQ

    little dragon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yedD4JsZyT0

    the heron and the fox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9q6e4Ry57E

    other lives (awesome chamber folk, if you’re into that kind of thing…)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWMqgeIDJs8

    lia ices (a collab with justin vernon [bon iver] >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyMTeEtctkk)

    • I came here to say Abbe May, and also Gotye’s new one which has been on pretty much constant repeat in my house for the last few weeks.

  163. Band: We are Trees
    “Girlfriend” http://goo.gl/RsbJJ
    “Final Round” http://goo.gl/hjkxw

    If there is some sort of formula to optimize the distribution of mellow lyrics and calm instrumentation in order to maintain the oh-so-elusive balance of loftiness in a stretch of 2 to 4 minutes, this band has found it!

  165. Los Campesinos! – youtube.com/watch?v=N6booM03nKI

    Alex Winston -youtube.com/watch?v=7Bo4BN80JkM

    Sleater-Kinney -youtube.com/watch?v=MbxRu7fwR24

    I Blame Coco, SHE’s STING’s DAUGHTER! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAm4QZ4AebI]

  169. the sounds of my summer ’11 are: ducktails, atlas sound, braids, born ruffians, fleet foxes (loving their new album), high places, akron/family, etc.

    i’ve always loved caribou’s swim but lately i’ve really been getting into andorra.

    also, my dream girl listens to as much animal collective as i do, which is probably an unhealthy amount.

    The Good Natured, they have only EPs out. Album expected next year,

    Any Color Black, “Answer” is my favorite Song (http://www.anycolorblack.com/)

  187. after writing this I went to itunes to look up my most played song and it said “waterfalls” by TLC ….WTF?!?!:D
    well, lets focus on the second most played: Today – Smashing Pumpkins:)

  188. Tender Forever! It’s indie pop and pretty adorable. The women who does it is also a queer lady so queer lady + awesome music = fucken rad.

    I’ve also been listening to a lot of Bratmobile and Pansy Division lately.

  189. can we get some jam band lovin’ in here?

    I’ve been on a Grateful Dead kick lately… they’re always amazeballs. I also highly recommend “Grateful Grass” which was Keller Williams, Jeff Austin from Yonder Mountain String Band, and Keith Moseley from String Cheese Incident doing bluegrass covers of Dead songs. It’s probably the most fun thing you will listen to all week.

    also also also Live Phish Volume 7 has been on repeat in rotation with their studio album Joy
    and you can’t go wrong with moe. my personal favorite song there is Mexico. though they have this new song called Paper Dragon that they played at All Good and in Lowell recently and it’s pretty sick CHECK IT OUT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkrPnyiudWY

    OH ALSO EVERYONE LISTEN TO JOHN BUTLER TRIO NOW

  190. If anyone likes classical music: I’m loving Emmanual Pahud lately. ;)

    Or, Gil Shaham’s Four Seasons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syDtrOZWIH8), with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. An oldie but a goodie, and the best recording you can find of the Four Seasons anywhere. ;)

    Also, Amazon has these awesome collections of classical music that are 99 tracks for about 6 bucks. Totally worth it, because they have some good recordings. :)

    99 Darkest Pieces (http://www.amazon.com/99-Darkest-Pieces-Classical-Music/dp/B0048NUUS2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313432737&sr=8-1)

    99 Chillout Classics (http://www.amazon.com/99-Must-Have-Chillout-Classics/dp/B0051QU0M6/ref=pd_sim_dmusic_a_5)

    And then they have some which are collections of major pieces by various composers.

  191. all of you need to check out Sea of Bees. Jules is from Sacramento CA, plays dreamy tuneage and has the most dreamy voice. i’ve saw them at least 6 times over the passed 6 months. her album ‘Songs for the Ravens’ is about the girls she’s lost, loved and longed for. check out their new vid for a song called Skinnybone:

  192. My favorites for this summer are:
    Oh land, self titled album
    Washed Out album: “Within and Without”
    Ellie Goulding: song “Lights” remix by Max Gordon
    Freestylers: song “Cracks” (Flux Pavillion Remix”
    Lighthouse Family: song “Ain’t No Sunshsine” (love this cover!)

  194. I listen to whatever my mood dictates but if one is in a dark mood desiring as listen to a hot all gyrl band try Drain STH and especially the song, “I See Right Through You” on their album, “Freaks of Nature”

  195. I listen to whatever my mood dictates but if one is in a dark mood desiring a listen to a hot all gyrl band try Drain STH and especially the song, “I See Right Through You” on their album, “Freaks of Nature”

  196. I’ve been wearing out Lacuna Coil’s new album Dark Adrenaline. Cristina Scabbia has such a beautiful voice <3
