To What Are You Listening?

[Jedo the Jedi]

[Mackay]

Aw! As half of the first (only?) marriage to meet via the GL I'd probably feel too bad to tell y'all even if we did break up

Mumford & Sons rule, by the way. I don't keep very up-to-date on music, but a friend who loves them also recommended Boy and Bear as something we'd like if we liked the Mumfords. I've enjoyed them a lot so far. I can hear what she meant with regard to the similarity between the two, but I can hear a lot of influence from Aussie rock bands of the '90s and '00s, too. Thumbs up!

[Deception]

I listen to indie-rock/pop (I don't know if that's the correct terminology, but here's some of my favorite songs)

Arctic Monkeys

The Postal Service
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9ow42XTx4I&feature=related

Also enjoy more upbeat stuff though:

Something Corporate

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

The Raconteurs

This thread doesn't get posted to enough. Which is a shame, especially considering the quality of the tunes in posts like Deception's. Some great bands listed there. Especially Something Corporate, who I'd never heard of before, but who seem like a really fun band, and who I'll be checking out strongly over the next few days. Nice one Deception!

For my part, here's a couple of great indie tunes from two top Scottish bands, Meursault, and Frightened Rabbit:

What You Don't Have - Meursault

The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit

Piece of advice. Turn them up loud

And post more to this thread, dammit!

[The Great Crep'er]

Steely Dan - King of the World

"Somebody That I Used To Know" and "Eyes Wide Open" by Gotye.

It's all Courk's fault really. She posted the Star Wars parody of "Somebody," and I just loved the voice so much. It reminds me very much of Sting, so maybe I should just listen to more Sting instead. "Eyes" seemed to have an interesting message though, so that was good too.

I looked up Kimbra's solo work (she's featured on "Somebody"), but she's one of those artists who sucks on her own, imo. I love her voice as accompaniment, but that's as far as it goes.

How could I have missed out on Lindsey Stirling? Apparently she made her YouTube debut 5 years ago, but I've been living under a rock until now. Very cool stuff!

listening D.K. Bose from movie Delhi belly .... rock bits ..

[Jedo the Jedi]

I don't necessarily care for this commercial, but I really want to know what the music is from. It reminds me of the Road to Perdition soundtrack, but I'm pretty sure it isn't.

I've kinda become addicted to Caravan Palace and, well, the electroswing genre in general. It's hard not to feel happy when listening to it.

[Scurra]

Oh wow. Thanks for that. What an amazing sound.

Heard this guy last year on the radio, but there were no decent links I could give you then.
Found a few good links today though.

Enjoy Gavin James, a singer-songwriter from Dublin (one to watch)

Wagner's Parsifal. I am on an opera (re)discovery tour, starting with Wagner. After all four operas of Der Ring, der fliegende Hollaender, Lohengrin and die Meistersinger, this is the 8th in a row.
