The "Recommend Anything to Everybody" Thread

Just a random idea I had for people to find new music.

Recommend any albums you think people should listen to! Anything!

I'll begin.

Oh, I didn't know that "recommend anything" meant you could recommend that people don't check out someone else's recommendation that you don't like. Cool. In that case, I recommend that people don't check out Bitte Orca. There seem to be some people that dig it, and maybe people reading this thread would like it, but I don't, so I say steer clear of that album, yo.

Yeah, it's such an atmospherically sound record. So accessible and memorable at the same time. Every crucial moment manages to be amazing while unsurprising. One of my favourite releases of 2009.

[xJesusFreakx]

Yeah, I think you're defining "pop" much more loosely than I am, lol. (Or, alternatively, I'm defining it more narrowly than you are.)

[cshadows2887]

I figure that if it's accessible enough for me to like, then there's pop in it somewhere. :-d


Haha I like that definition quite a bit. I'm all for a broad assessment of what pop is.

Their MySpace says that they have a show coming up next month in Pittsburgh, so maybe, if I can find someone to join me, I'll go see 'em live. More than likely won't be able to, though, just because that's how my life rolls, lol. I'll have to pick up (or download) the album sometime soon, though.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uB-0D-gV8mY/SN2j9O-jDII/AAAAAAAAL9Y/MjOwhY5XxKQ/s400/split+enz

Split Enz - Dizrythmia

Post-punk, new-wave, power-pop, or whatever hyphenated genre you want to call it, the brilliance of musical magic remains at the forefront. These boys were always in a world of their own, a relentlessly original & manically energetic live band. This album was a period of transition, from "art-rock, progressive-pop" & a million other things to a more fast paced energy pop sound. Music played perhaps imperfectly, but with great passion & honesty, can create an ethereal beauty, a sense of cult classicism that like the pattern on a Chinese vase, lingers on & on & on through the mind. The masterpiece of creative energy & pop sensibilities merging. Like all great art, it is defined by all it's glorious imperfections.


http://i33.tinypic.com/11uf3oo.jpg

Xavier Rudd - Dark Shades Of Blue

Through the course of his albums he's been known to sing vocals & play weissenborn slide guitars, 6 & 12 string acoustic/electric guitars, didgeridoos, stomp box, harmonicas, Aztec drum, slit drum, djembe, shakers, slide banjo, ankle bells, bass guitar. This album is where the usually acoustic Rudd plugs in, & in this case riffs it out like Hendrix meets a lost Aboriginal tribe. The textures here are richer & more dynamic, experimental & psychedelic than his previous releases, & the great thing about this is that the intense energy doesn't rid the album of the intimacy his material is known for. It's an artistic journey of wonder & philosophy, some moments of the album may hit you (like they did me) with an impassioned sobering effect.


http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd88/rnbmusicblogdotcom/hollieCoverFinal.jpg

Hollie Smith - Long Player

Hollie's wide range of musical influences are evident throughout this album as she combines elements of soul, jazz, reggae & R&B in a distinctive manner that vividly illustrates her organic talents. Hollie has a voice that you just need to hear, so wonderfully emotive & haunting voice, which soars, dives & floats it's way through her clever & gorgeous musical arrangements. Rich in vocal gusto, full of jazz-blues-soul-funk prowess & the good old-fashioned roots music values. Whatever style she embraces, Hollie creates an intriguing mix of sensual, melodic & earthy songs filled with depth, passion & power. One of the most soulful & emotive artists beginning to emerge.

This is a fucking great post-metal record.
Their second album has keys & programming which are also cool, but I feel like this one is completely solid without much wankery.
& if you like bass, you need to listen to at least one track. Very clean bass tones.

I just want to tell that guy that whatever it is that's happening in his pants isn't okay. It's not a "feeling it" thing. It's probably a medical problem. I know you all were thinking "oh man, he is so in to this shit. He's feeling it" but the dude more than likely has a flesh-eating peep disease and he's dying for your entertainment, you sadist.

I checked this out. Interesting stuff. Like an unholy marriage of Talking Heads, Bowie and T. Rex with some Tumbleweed Connection piano dashed in, but a little less weird than that. I'll need to listen more to decide if it's something I need to own, but it's rather unique sounding stuff.

Oh nice. Split Enz were huge on the live music culture. No two albums of theirs sounds the same, different styles, different ideas, different progressions. But one thing always remained the same, they were the indescribable sound of youth. The man in my avatar is actually the front-man of the band, & along with his brother both set off to write much more accessible sounds as solo artists & with Crowded House over the last 30 years. Venturing into the realms of folk-rock-pop. They're my all-time favourite singer/songwriters, who have always sat on the line of genius & crazy haha, especially Tim. As acclaimed & incredible as their maturing sounds are, I always crave those spirited early years, they were on such a different creative wavelength to everybody else. Always proud & resilient to just be themselves through music.

I never realized the Finns were in Split Enz. They were prolific S.O.B.'s, huh? It's definitely an album I can see growing on me in a hurry.

[El_Jeffe]

Tim started the band, Neil joined on their fourth album (the one I listed). Incredible careers, such organic & creative artistic horizons. Prolific you say? As a man who has personally spent thousands of dollars buying their entire discography, including all those fan only rarities, re-releases, un-released recordings, previously thought of as "lost" recordings, live work, books, DVDs, merchandise, rare memorabilia, travelling across the country countless times to see them perform in various forms, meeting all sorts of wonderful fans along the way, getting to know members of their management team from over the years... yea I'd say they're prolific haha. It's been one hell of a journey, & I've loved every second.

What have you heard & enjoyed from the brothers Finn mate?

I'm really jealous of your devotion to them. I don't have stories like that to tell about anyone. That's very cool shit. Have you met them personally?

And as of now, I've heard that Split Enz record and scattered Crowded House songs. Definitely going to give a Crowded House record a listen tonight though. You've piqued my curiosity.

They're the very reason I ever took an interest in music, ever picked up a guitar, ever began this musical voyage I still continue today. I owe them a lot, yet they keep repaying me with further albums of great enjoyment beyond words, & live gigs that relive themselves in your mind like a montage of emotion that somehow makes sense of the feelings associated with their albums. It's more than words, or just "music" it's an experience. & I think some of us here can relate to that in our own individual way.

Sort of, when I was allowed into a band rehearsal by their manager. Got a bit of small talk & a laugh, but haven't had the chance to sit back with a beer on the deck just yet mate haha. Although once when the brothers were touring after releasing 2004's classic Everyone Is Here, I was in the front row & Tim looked straight at me & threw me his guitar pick across the stage to me. But some absolute.... (you can imagine what goes here haha).... jumped on the stage, swiped it & bolted. Wow.... if I had bumped into him again haha.

Crowded House are a great start, Woodface, with Tim, is my favourite. Intimate harmonious perfection, just like their follow up, Together Alone. Tim's solo work is where it's at for me though.

I have Woodface on right now. What would be the best solo record to check out?

[El_Jeffe]

Ooo tough one, see Tim is a man of many personalities haha. But I'm going to go with his two most recent, the gorgeous piano led chamber pop record of 2006, Imaginary Kingdom. & 2008's rustically acoustic piece, The Conversation. Like all Finn records I describe them as a delicate flower. Slow to open up at first, but once they do, they blossom into a world of colour & beauty beyond all expectation. A world upon themselves. Enjoy mate.

I'm going to listen to "not good, real music."

[HometownHero]

Minus The Maine and The Wonder Years there is nothing wrong with any of those. Bob Dylan is not real music? Are you a retarded person?

[quicksilv001]

I think he is just saying that there is no such thing as "good, real music". It's all subjective.

Also: I would recommend 'Pomegranate' by Astronautalis. And 'These Are Lights' by the Armed.

So did anyone actually discover any great new music in this thread? I know i checked through a lot of it. Didn't find anything that drew me in in a huge way, but a lot of the good stuff mentioned in here I was already a fan of.

[cshadows2887]

There's a lot of stuff in here I have every intention of checking out when I have access to a comp with a working sound card on a regular basis (I'm looking at you, Battles) but as of now I've only listened to the Split Enz record.

[El_Jeffe]

Personally never got into Battles. I remember when their album came out in 2007 & everyone was treating them like they had created a whole new style of music that was sweeping the world over. But during 2007 I was listening to Tinariwen's phenomenal Aman Iman: Water Is Life, & thinking the exact same thing about that haha. Each to their own.

[cshadows2887]

I've heard good things about them from people I respect. Which is always worth a close listen.

That and the album cover screams "LISTEN TO ME, I'M YOUR NEW FAVORITE ALBUM!"

[El_Jeffe]

Hey, definitely give them a listen & form your own view on it all mate. What it's all about. A lot of people are really feeling them. I've always been a little odd musically I guess, & perhaps in other respects, but we don't need to go into that haha.

I don't not like them, just didn't get into them in a big way. & I tend to be an all or nothing kinda guy. I have to love what I'm listening to, rather than "oh yea... not bad", if that makes sense.

This is a fucking great post-metal record.
Their second album has keys & programming which are also cool, but I feel like this one is completely solid without much wankery.
& if you like bass, you need to listen to at least one track. Very clean bass tones.
In reply to this, a similiar band. Not sure if its exactly post-metal, but I think it is. Its great music none the less.

I wonder if such a band exists. Any specific suggestions?

If bitter and cynical with a side of hope and agression in a classic-rock sense fits the bill, try The Hold Steady.

Edit: Kid below me's recc of AtDI is even better.
