Instead of starting a million new threads that nobody gives a shit about, I figure we could have a catch-all.

Do you guys seek out new music regularly? And by new I just mean new to you, I don't care about whether or not it's contemporary. I've recently rediscovered torrents which makes getting albums the easiest way to do things, and then I just burn mp3 cds with multiple albums and listen to them in my car (which seems to be where I do the vast majority of my music-listening).

The Black Keys.

My favourite new band I've gotten into recently, they fucking rock. Their earlier stuff was OK, but the last three albums have been fantastic. They're on my list of bands I really wanna see live.

Discovery. Indie-pop project of the keyboardist from Vampire Weekend and the lead singer of Ra Ra Riot. They have a couple of really good songs and a few meh ones. Speaking of which...

Ra Ra Riot. I fucking HATE the name of this band, and I think it's made me enjoy their music less than I would've, which is stupid, but there ya go. I like them OK.

Miike Snow. Swedish indie-pop, really fucking good.


Miike Snow - Animal

Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. Best UK hip hop I've heard, probably ever. Best hip hop in general that I've heard recently.


LOOK FOR THE WOMAN - dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip (OFFICIAL)

Gotye! Super fucking popular and I don't care. He's good.


Gotye - Easy Way Out - official film clip

Wakey!Wakey! Twenty Two


Wakey!Wakey! Dance so Good


This is a really good band. I only found them the other day. Been listening non stop. : D

These are not the best songs to showcase their talent but right now they're my favourites. xD

I love this song! And Ive known it for a while due to ...waitforit.. taptap revenge. A game I have on my itouch. ...and frankly thats kinda embarrassing. D:

Digging twenty-two, but what's the light saber thing? Did you mean to post that?

BTW I bet this song ain't new to you. It was to me, and I like it a lot.


Jamie T - Earth, Wind & Fire |Kings & Queens (LP)|

(this recommendation came from the same place as the Scroobius Pip one - an english girl I met with awesome taste in movies and music and other good stuff. fun.)

Hmmmm ...
I've been grooving on a lot of late 80's/early 90's hiphop I forgot about years ago ....

I really like Jamie T. Hadn't heard that song before. The problem is that I'm really lazy when it comes to music so I hear a couple songs of an artist and I cba to download more even if I like them. It's probably for the best, its an expensive habit.



Jamie T - Sticks 'n' Stones     sticks and stones by jamie t.

Oops no!!
I was watching that at the same time, must've mixed up the links.



Dance so Good 

I been groovin' on this band recently... sure it's probably post-grunge, but its way better than Nickleback. Live they're unbeatable.

Cockfight Shootout

Been diggin' this too...

EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING, GET UP MORNING

These guys been around a while... natural decendents of all good Oz pub rock... Dave'll probably dig it...

Electric Mary - 'Let Me Out'

Nice to see a Melbourne boy get a nod above...

This makes me laugh every time I see it

Bleeding Knees Club - Nothing To Do (Official Clip)

There's tons of great disposable stuff happening down here

DZ Deathrays - No Sleep (Official Clip)

W3rd!

Is that Arj Barker? I can't do video till I get home...

Nice to see a Melbourne boy get a nod above...

Gotye? Yeah he's begian-aussie, right?

Hmmmm ...

Me too, actually. Straight Outta Compton, The Chronic and 2001, Doggystyle, Eminem's early stuff. So I guess late 80's through early 00's, which was the best time ever for rap.

Yeah, like me, he arrived here as a little kid... There is a common thread in the first 3 clips I posted, they're all Melbourne acts... second two are from Brisneyland. And that's just the very tip of a huge iceberg.

Wow that's a lot of music. too much to make any judgment on but I liked it.

What chew talking bout Willis!

Judgement Day!  volin/cello metal mother fuckers.. dig on this shit

Here's what I've been listening to:


Atlas Sound - Shelia (by the singer from Deerhunter)


Alfred Schnittke - Clowns und Kinder

you've all become a bunch of raging hipsters 

I wanted to like the black keys because i'd cuddle the fuck outta the nerd who plays drums..

shits listenable but pretty forgettable. ..  i sorta doubt i'll ever bump that shit again after the first couple of listens.

Don't take it personal but I didn't care for that Shelia song much.

Maybe it's because I'm listening on my laptop but it kinda reminded me of a transistor radio in an empty apartment. Umm and I guess I didn't bother trying to understand the message because the sound made me cringe. Sorry.

Here's what I've been listening to:


Atlas Sound - Shelia (by the singer from Deerhunter)


Alfred Schnittke - Clowns und Kinder

I can dig on this.

I love this song.


Young, Wild and Free- Snoop Dogg ft. Wiz khalifa (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HD)

This ones old but I still like it.

afroman - colt45

haha I'd never heard the Colt45 song. It's good. The only Afroman song I've heard was of course Because I got High.

Colt 45 and two zigzags baby that's all we need, we can roll to the park after dark and smoke that tumbleweed.

Peelander Z

Who remind me of this band:

Romantic Gorilla

you've all become a bunch of raging hipsters 

you posted a song called zombies by a band called judgement day, they play cellos.
I like the song but how is that not 'hipster' ?



Also epicness - on the side of the song zombies was a link to the Sri Visnu Sahasranama - 1000 names of Vishnu.

Something different -

"I'M GONE" by Graveyard Train

I really like this.



I am slowly working my way through all the songs in this thread.

Yeah, I still have to listen to all the Melbournage. I'm hindered by not being able to do so from work, which is where most of my online time happens.
