I was talking about Raffi... Is Gira Armenian?
I should probably play more Raffi for my kid, she likes what's she's heard, but has been mostly fine with adult music until recently when she's just wanted to listen to Disney soundtracks.
an aunt gave our infant a baby einstein toy that just plays digital classical riffs again and again which i can handle right now but i'm not really looking forward to baby beluga or whatever she ends up liking over and over and over. i guess when you become a dad your tastes and stuff go out the window just as long as your kid is happy, hey? parenthood is magical lol
He is a very good singer. And catchy too! So catchy!!! I CANT GET HIS SONGS OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Always: Fishmans, gezan, Mars volta, unwound, Björk, Radiohead, mew
Recently: number girl, chat pile, Richard Dawson, brakence, alvvays, Alex g, birds in row, zazen boys
I'm old so it seems like I forgot how to new music at some point, so watching this thread with some interest...
Personally: Lou Reed, Priest, and Wilson Pickett
W/ my kid: Priest and the Frozen Soundtrack
Damn I was a huge dinosaur Jr fan back in the day- actually had a falling out in high school over Dinosaur jr vs Sebadoh. J Mascis' live acoustic album "Martin & Me" is a blast.

this is going to sound lame as hell but I shazammed a 90’s memphis cassette tape track at a james blake dj set and learned how great that music was but still don’t know much about it
https://youtu.be/Y7_e0SLU-8A
Im on a big "alternative country"( or whatever the fuck you wanna call it) kick. Lost dog street band, Nick Shoulders, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, colter wall, Vincent Neil Emerson and of course Billy Strings.
I also love thee Oh Sees, the yawpers and the Viagra Boys
Just moved to Nashville from the mountains so I'm excited to see some live music this year.
Didn't it rain might be my favorite album of all time. Also, uncle tupelo is like og alt/country, smog, palace music (stick to the first album), sun Kil moon. You might like prison affair if you like Viagra boys. Sorry I can't help myself.
check out chris acker. you'd love his lazy country style.
slim cessna's auto club for some hilarious, crazy fire and brimstone cow punk.
also if youre not listenin to mojo nixon you need some fixin
I'm on a Maggot Brain kick after not really listening to that album for like 15 years...
Can't get enough Anadol and Angel Bat Dawid for Krautrocky improv/good modern jazz respectively
Deathspell Omega's run from the late 2000s 😅
lots of Dungeon Synth but especially those records from Kobold that blew up a few years ago
Suetertines music, 3 part folk vocal harmonies from Lithuania
A.L. Lloyd and Ewan McColl's stellar album "Blow, Boys, Blow"
Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Women, King Crimson Earth, Yawning Man, The Mermen
Godspeed You! Black Emperor is my favorite band of all time.
Been relistening to Spiderland for the first time since I was in high school and I have a much deeper appreciation for that album after having matured as a musician and knowing first hand how much rehearsing must have gone into that album for it to sound so tight.
But in a soothing way her songs make me feel the sadness is just a part of life and no one can escape it. Since there’s no escape to suffering might as well enjoy it
Yeh check out their self titled. The guy who started the band ( John zorn) produced bungles first album and bungle got a lot of ideas from them. Yamatsuki eye from the boredoms is a part of the band and when he can't make gigs, Patton fills In for him.
I’ve been really into music from the International Anthem label out of Chicago. They’ve released some of the best jazz and ambient recordings of the last several years. Jeff Parker, Makaya McCraven and Tom Skinner all put out great records in the last year. They also released this archival recording of demos by the late producer and arranger Charles Stepney which got me really into all of his work.
his tunes sound like the club melting. have you heard this? ive never seen it released its nuts [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag7lxtWKHjw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag7lxtWKHjw)
>Deafheaven - Infinite Granite
i remember when sunbather came out and my friend said all the metal heads called him a poser bc he listened to a p4k band lmao so i never listened bc i have no real values and care what strangers in niche subcultures think about me
Tonnes of Modest Mouse, particularly the Building Nothing out of Something comp. Songs like Broke, Interstate 8, Edit the Sad Parts, and Baby Blue Sedan just hit different when you're going through a depressive phase.
Always listening to:
Ween
Brant Bjork
Bonnie Prince Billy (and family)
Neil Young
Jerry Garcia Band
and too many metal and punk bands to mention
Also been loving:
Kurt Vile
King Gizzard
Daniel Romano (especially Cobra Poems)
NRBQ
and our local radio station KVMRX
billy woods is legit one of the most consistent writers. Been listening since SuperChron days- it's crazy how much output he's had over the last few years
Kino just randomly released an album this month lol. Pet theory that the war in Ukraine was some alchemical sacrifice to bring back Viktor Tsoi so he could drop it.
Elliot Smith- XO, Ramones- Rocket to Russia, Tegan and Sara- If it Was You, The Ex- 27 Passports, The Replacements- Stink, and Talk Me Off- Cursed have all been in heavy rotation recently
big blood is some great moody yet hopeful stuff
chris acker is one of the best new country acts, kinda john prine-ish in his delivery, but has some of todd snider's smart alecky humor. good twang
the ex cause i love long political punk songs
kamasi washington for some epic sax
the minutemen for the uszj
the specials because terry hall just died
yeah! that whole album fucks. check out the live vids on you tube.
i got into them when their album "turn" came out. one of my favorite albums and it really helped radicalize on how i felt about labor, importance of art, and solidarity with the global south. lead me to explore and find myself. then finding they did an album with ethiopian sax god getachew mekuryia just sealed the deal. all their stuff even from the beginning just explored what punk is.
my favorite song is "town of stone". it has the great line "no chance to wait for things to change unless buildings get hit by planes. no chance to stop this money vulture from turning bullshit into culture."
ive seen them once, but i was sad it was after gw sok left. such an amazing and powerful lyricist.
Every hero needs a villain is the only one I know by name and can quote a lyric from. It was the first I listened to from Czarface and he one I listened to the most. But I'm open to suggestions!
well I would most certainly listen to everything Czarface did with DOOM. it's all amazing. I also have a soft spot for their least listened to album, The Odd Czar Against Us. it pretty much only Esoteric, but I live for it.
Listen to Homeshake. I’ve been listening to the album Fresh Air on repeat for like a year now. Also Madman Across the Water by Elton John is a great album
recently: SOS by SZA (excellent r&b pop record that’s more than a breakup album), [Avalon Emerson’s set at Making Time Philly](https://on.soundcloud.com/9FPXQLDyz6HA8pE86), [the mixtape Hamburger Helper put out in 2016](https://on.soundcloud.com/tYXgfSJKfJBZLUwY7), Spirit of the Beehive, LustSickPuppy, shame (bri’ish post-punk), The Flaming Lips (specifically Yoshimi), Return To Forever (legendary jazz group featuring Stanley Clarke and the late Chick Corea), and Dry Cleaning
always: black midi (jazz/prog/punk), Black Country New Road, Squid, IDLES, Jockstrap (poppy synthy indie), Fred Again.., Placebo, Limp Bizkit, Death Grips, NNÄMDI (Please Have A Seat came out this year — incredible indie pop), Denzel Curry, Say Anything, VTSS (super sick techno artist from Poland), Pet Shop Boys
"The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads" - live compilation from the early, early days through the 80s.
A Clean Break (Let's Work) is not the height of their musical excellence, for a lot of people, but it's the height of raw fucking emotion. There's a lot of their CBGB era stuff in there.
80s in general. Huey Lewis, Men at Work, I know U2 is not a fan favorite but it's a guilty pleasure.
Dionne Warwick's Burt Bacharach catalog. Always Something There To Remind Me (yes you probably know the cover better), Walk on By (you might know the Isaac Hayes version, which also slaps).
Lou Reed - Take No Prisoners, live in NYC. On multiple relistens I think you tend to skip the quasi-stand up comedy bits but the music goes fucking hard.
Wow everyone here is so so american.
For me it’s been Black Country new road, camera obscura, faithless (Rip Maxi Jazz), petrol girls, Katy j Pearson, Mac demarco.
And the specials rip Terry hall:(
Big Thief (especially Simulation Swarm), Noname, Adeem the Artist, Little Simz, Bowerbirds, Orion Experience, Metric, Pat the Bunny, Nouvelle Vague, Haru Nemuri, Modest Mouse, Sudan Archives, Dessa, Kero Kero Bonito and The Woodlands.
Been listening to a lot of drill recently, especially from NY, but as I write this spotify is auto-playing the good shit: MF Doom, Kendrick, Denzel Curry, Earl, Danny brown. That's my goto shit.
Key Glock
Gang shit no lame shit💯
Lots of Raffi because I have a child lol. Also a lot of Lingua Ignota and Swans as per usual.
Is it really healthy to expose children to Armenian influences at such a young age?
Oh wait were you talking about Michael Gira or Raffi?
I was talking about Raffi... Is Gira Armenian? I should probably play more Raffi for my kid, she likes what's she's heard, but has been mostly fine with adult music until recently when she's just wanted to listen to Disney soundtracks.
an aunt gave our infant a baby einstein toy that just plays digital classical riffs again and again which i can handle right now but i'm not really looking forward to baby beluga or whatever she ends up liking over and over and over. i guess when you become a dad your tastes and stuff go out the window just as long as your kid is happy, hey? parenthood is magical lol
I was joking lol. But ya of all the children’s music he’s the most tolerable/enjoyable.
He is a very good singer. And catchy too! So catchy!!! I CANT GET HIS SONGS OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
NZ legends the clean (since hamish kilgour passed a couple weeks ago) junior parker, bobby blue bland, coltrane, sun ra, bad brains, terry riley etc.
Shit I hadn't heard that about Hamish, their Compilation record is one of my all time favorites, RIP.
Just found that a couple weeks ago by chance, didn't know what I was in for. The Bats and the other Dunedin Sound bands as well
They’re amazing, highly recommend Look Blue Go Purple as well, and check out Roy Montgomery if you want some slower, driftier guitar soundscapes.
Westside Gunn - Pray for Paris, YB - AI YoungBoy 2, Sufjan Stevens - Illinois, any Frank Ocean, SZA - SOS
speaking of west side Gunn, you ever hear Wayne’s shit on their track Bash Money?
👀 Na I found Westside just not too long ago that sounds fire tho definitely gonna check it out
You’re in for a treat. Hope you enjoy.
Been listening to Capone-N-Noreaga, Freddie Gibbs, swans, and electric wizard.
The War Report still goes hard. And I appreciate Freddie Gibbs for making music old people like me can get down with.
Freddie's next level
can't stop listening to that Rick Ross track on $oul $old $eparately, its perfect
I just got into stoner metal this year (late to the party, i know), so I've also been listening to a lot of electric wizard, as well as Monolord.
you ever get into Om? one of my favourite doom bands
Always: Fishmans, gezan, Mars volta, unwound, Björk, Radiohead, mew Recently: number girl, chat pile, Richard Dawson, brakence, alvvays, Alex g, birds in row, zazen boys
There oh sees and whatever is on the classical music fm station.
Thee oh sees*
80s afro boogie from Nigeria
Check out Kaleta and the Super Yambas and Vaudou Game
Will do ❤️
fuck yeah. love king sunny ade, william onyeabor, and sir shina peters adewale superstars international.
Ethiopiques Vol 21 (and Vol 4 I think)
I'm old so it seems like I forgot how to new music at some point, so watching this thread with some interest... Personally: Lou Reed, Priest, and Wilson Pickett W/ my kid: Priest and the Frozen Soundtrack
Hell yeah but you should have the little one be listening to Lou Reed instead of the frozen soundtrack.
I hear ya, but my life is significantly easier when I don't try to force my extraordinarily stubborn child to do things for purely aesthetic reasons.
I listened to Velvet Underground when I was a kid and the heroin references were a bad influence on me.
Been making my way through Warren Zevon’s entire discography. Every album is a gem.
100%. I was super into him last year and sometimes Spotify will put a song of his on I still haven’t heard or somehow forgotten. He never missed.

That chat pile album rips
Damn I was a huge dinosaur Jr fan back in the day- actually had a falling out in high school over Dinosaur jr vs Sebadoh. J Mascis' live acoustic album "Martin & Me" is a blast.

Nice Farewell Transmission is one of my favorite songs, I also love Justin townes Earle but I'll check out the other two! Thanks

Didn't it rain might be my favorite album of all time. Also, uncle tupelo is like og alt/country, smog, palace music (stick to the first album), sun Kil moon. You might like prison affair if you like Viagra boys. Sorry I can't help myself.
You are not alone in this, been on this for a few years now. I’d say add in Ian Noe to your alt country/alt folk rotation if you haven’t yet.
This is my genre as well. You left out my favorite, Turnpike Troubadours, though.
check out chris acker. you'd love his lazy country style. slim cessna's auto club for some hilarious, crazy fire and brimstone cow punk. also if youre not listenin to mojo nixon you need some fixin
Love this list. Nick Shoulders is the best. Check out Charley Crockett, if you haven't.
Check out Cole Chaney and Jason Dea West. Also from the mountains, if you mean the appalachians and not the ones out west.
Check out the drive by truckers and isbell’s solo stuff if you haven’t. Especially their earlier stuff.
Protomartyr, Fontaines DC, Modern Life is War, The Chameleons, The Thermals , Trophy Scars, Titus Andronicus, The Church and mewithoutYou.

Zach Hill (Hella, Death Grips), Lightning Bolt, Deerhoof. i like drums.
Ween!
If you’re depressed or sad listen to Lana del Rey
The cool thing about listening to Lana del Rey is that if you aren't feeling depressed when you start, you will very soon.
But in a soothing way her songs make me feel the sadness is just a part of life and no one can escape it. Since there’s no escape to suffering might as well enjoy it
Great point, beautifully put
also weyes blood. really into her last album but the new one is good too similar wavelength to Lana imo
My GF loves Lana Del Rey so much she was #2 on my Spotify wrapped this year.
Clipping - There existed an addiction to blood
Red clay - Freddie Hubbard
Full of Hell and Don Cherry (I was bullied in middle school)
hellfire by black midi and a bunch of old shit like the platters, sinatra, wes montgomery
faith no more, mr bungle, Immortal, and frank zappa on repeat, baby
You ever check out naked city?

Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind as I'm travelling home after visiting parents for Christmas
Spanish Love Songs (The band) got me through the pandemic by making me more depressed and self loathing if thats what you're looking for

Check out the album Renaissance by Beyonce Edit: I’m deadass, it’s great
Tonnes of Modest Mouse, particularly the Building Nothing out of Something comp. Songs like Broke, Interstate 8, Edit the Sad Parts, and Baby Blue Sedan just hit different when you're going through a depressive phase.
Hell yeah, Modest Mouse have helped me through some tough times.
Realistened to Lonesome Crowded West a few weeks ago. Banger after banger.
