rjw63 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 hahahaa, I'll have it! New albums from Joe Walsh (after 20 years!) and Springsteen are more up my street (the new Smile boxset is magnificent by the way!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2012 I wouldn't have even opened this thread, but I was surprised to see Rob posting in it, so I had a look out of curiosity. I must admit that Gareth's massive enthusiasm for a whole stable of bands I've never remotely heard of does intrigue me a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Springsteen Afterwards you could ramp up the excitement further by listening to a plank warp. Then to finish on a high, maybe listen to your fridge for a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Then to finish on a high, maybe listen to your fridge for a couple of hours. Ah, fridgecore. I'm a big fan. Smeg have been making some wonderful stuff over the years, though I'm also partial to a bit of Bosch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 What are the genres of your new music Gareth? See, there's only two answers I can give here and they both make me sound like a complete tw*t. So thanks for that. Tw*ttish answer #1 (aka the answer an up-their-own-arse Drowned In Sound forum poster would give) I don't like to shoehorn music into "genres" in the broad sense. Tw*ttish answer #2 (aka the answer a frothing-at-the-mouth, NME-journo-word removed would give)•Japandroids - Richly textured, highly energetic walls of sound that can be seen from outer space. •Mutiny On The Bounty - The best math rock Luxembourg has to offer (probably, I don't know any other bands from Luxembourg). •Pulled Apart By Horses - Cerebral punk rock with riffs big enough to make Godzilla tremble. •You Slut! - the jazzier side of instrumental math rock. •Three Trapped Tigers - undefinable as anything other then "music for the sun to go nova to".

BOF Posted January 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2012 I like answer #2. you pompous clearing in the woods On that basis I think I'll give You Slut!! a listen and maybe TTT, though quite what 'Math Rock' is, I don't know. Maybe it's right up my street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well, I'm lifting the math rock definition from Wiki as I don't wish to incriminate myself further... Wiki"]Math rock is a rhythmically complex guitar-based style of experimental rock that emerged in the 1980s and that was very influenced by progressive rock like King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Henry Cow - and 20th century composers such as Steve Reich and John Cage. It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, and dissonant chords. Math rock shares its place of origin in the late 80s underground music scene of the American Midwest. Some earlier bands have characteristics of both math rock and post-rock, using instruments for textures rather than melodies and riffs, featuring atypical rhythms and some dissonance. The genres soon diverged: math rock concentrated on angular melodies, atypical time signatures, start-stop rhythms, and dissonance, while staying closer to rock music in sound and instrumentation. Post-rock, on the other hand, concentrated on heavy use of dynamics, creating soundscapes, and expanded the variety of instruments used, used a jazzier drumming style, and incorporated elements of shoegaze music. You Slut!'s finest work: Same for Three Trapped Tigers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
