Mumford and Sons- any song but "Home" is a good starting point
The Avett Brothers - " Head Full of Doubt"

These two selections are for anyone that is sick of overly synthesized music and just wants pure instruments, vocals and beautiful harmonization all while utilizing fantastic arrangements that place foot stomping raucous choruses next to beautiful bridges.

Style: Rock/Country/Bluegrass/Folk

The former is from the UK so they have a bit of English folk influence whilst the latter is from North Carolina so they have some songs which are much more country.

For the past few days I Have been listening to the amazing album The Lack Long After by Pianos Become The Teeth, a new wave Screamo band. Couple songs from it:

I'll Get By: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smC9kHv4Y00
I'll Be Dammed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCBFXxwHmxk

Also been rocking out to The ELijah's EP A Son: A Diasese. They're a mix of Ambient, Post-hardcoe, hardcoe, and post-rock. A song from that:

Since I Was Born: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsQiWtqRUX0

And Finally, Been really rocking out to the Pop punk, Punk Rock band Fireworks album Gospel, it is a pretty sweet, fun album. a few songs:

Summer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb-bB8o-yEM&ob=av2e
X's On Trees: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qnmMW2triQ&feature=related


Those are the bands I have been listening to this week mainly, with sprinkeling of bands such as Galt Aureus, The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, Dragonland, and Machinae Supremacy thrown in.

Love this

This may not be everyone's thing, but I was extremely grateful to come across it, so I'll share it with you. :foodndrink:

Wow. I've heard that string intro before but I never knew where it was from :goodjob:

Here is a piece from someone who IMO is the greatest living classical composer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzSlmWQuHFw by Arvo P?rt.

Feel free to call me hipster. :tongue:

Hipster.

I've been listening to The Dead Weather a lot recently. Its a super-group including Jack White on drums, vocals and occasional guitar. (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs) Alison Mosshart (The Kills) on vocals, and two other guys who's names I don't remember. Its a band you have to listen to a few times before you start to enjoy it, but once you do, you will absolutely love it. I have actually ended up liking them more than any of Jack or Allison's previous projects.

A few of their songs I really like.

Some of there songs sound a whole lot better live, and their on stage performance is like six. I'm serious, you can feel it in the air.

Edit: Got rid of the spaces between lines to make the post shorter

Listening to The Scorpions - Comeblack cd, some great cover tunes on there, although only one of the remade songs i thought was better than the originals, The Zoo, and Rock You Like a Hurricane is nowhere near as good imo.

I just started getting into these guys. I've been listening to Old Pride and I'm gunna start listening to this album pretty soon. I'll Get By is a hell of a song, I was actually about to post it .

Also, is your avatar the cover of Formlessness by TWIABP&IANLATD? They're a great band too .

You don't have to be a hipster to like indie music. That's really where a lot of the creativity in modern music is going.

Besides, isn't Arcade Fire too mainstream for hipsters by now? I mean, they have at least a hundred fans, maybe more.

"Funeral" is one of my favorite albums.

More bookmarks, Swedish edition!

Been listening to this band quite a lot since I got their latest album on vinyl at the weekend. If you're into Type O Negative I'd recommend them; sort of a mix between them and bands like Agalloch. My only gripe is the lyrics are pretty crap and simplistic but musically they're very solid, a good blend of rock and metal.

Love him with a passion. I can't decide whether I prefer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=725_J7d4yU4 though (Penderecki) :wub:


I agree, I agree and I agree

Nice! I can groove to that stuff.

Oh, I was just admiring http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKk-w_0SpSw piece by him from JG Thirlwell's Tumblr blog.


Ah, been meaning to check out his stuff. Thanks!


1. They're pretty mainstream - especially by hipster standards.
2. No hipster would admit to being a hipster.


Oh, she's great, isn't she? I love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LcL7MAqwOc&ob=av2e best (White Nights).
