ender4 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) I guess all the new songs i hear are only from mainstream music channels, or Capital/Galaxy & BRMB/Free radio station. Both who only play current mainstream chart music. Of that, what particular kind of stuff do you like? actually, i don't seem to like that much of it, i find most of it too samey/poppy. Which is why i was wondering how you all hear all this new music. But of the current top 40 i love: Naughty Boy - La La La Imagine Dragons - Radioactive Macklemore - Can't Hold Us Disclosure ft Aluna George - White Noise Rudimental - Waiting all Night and my favourite overall artist is currently/still Rihanna.

GarethRDR Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Well I can't help so much with the hip-hop side of things, not my bag, however listening to those four I'd recommend checking out any of the following: tUnE-yArDs Battles Ratatat Flying Lotus Alt-J School Of Seven Bells Sleigh Bells TV On The Radio UNKLE You might like some of 'em, you might hate all of 'em, but you don't know if you don't try!

tarjei Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'm loving the new Empire of the sun record. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 21, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 21, 2013 Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Nick Cave amongst others all get a mention on page 1. I would therefore surmise that perhaps you are living in some form of sonic Faraday cage? I've vagually heard of Fleetwood Mac & David Bowie, Oh my God. I'm not even 30 yet and I really didn't think I'd be seeing a sentance like that for 30 years. I hoped I'd see it 30years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratatat - Loud Pipes - i was enjoying the tune until i realised that no singing was going to kick in, i don't think i can just listen to instrumental (well, i never have before). Its a decent tune for an instrumental, but can't bring myself to put it in my collection. Edited June 21, 2013 by ender4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I don't think you can just pick up and start with bands like alt-J and flying lotus like it's your everyday pop music. You need to acclimatize for a while. Listen to the whole album many times, let it sink in and you'll start noticing the underlying greatness of it. When you become used to the strangeness of it, regular pop-music just won't do it for you anymore. That's a good thing, but the drawback is that you'll want to be challenged with new sounds and be surprised rather than the routine of pop.

tarjei Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 My memory is shoddy, but don't think this one has been mentioned before.

Listening to the album on the tube now. It's not bad at all. I wouldn't compare it to Sun Glitters in style though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Rudimental - Waiting all Night great song IMO, i also really liked not giving in so picked up the album, nothing special, they've released the 3 best songs as singles also those talking about alt-j - its a superb album, not only different from a fair bit out there but there is a great variety on the album IMO, took me ages to get in to taro which is probably my favourite song now, my only problem with it is the interludes which are pure filler and fitzpleasure which is probably the only song i dont like, not a clue why it was up for awards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to acclimatize for a while. Listen to the whole album many times, let it sink in and you'll start noticing the underlying greatness of it. The trouble with that is that i don't listen to albums, i don't have loyalty to specific bands/artists. I'll like a song, but that doesn't mean i will listen to anything else from them. i just move on to the next song i like by someone else. i don't think i've listened to a whole album in the last 10 years, and maybe only 5-6 albums ever. there's probably only a handful of singers that i've even liked more than 4 songs of theirs - Rihanna, Oasis, Michael Jackson, Madonna.

tarjei Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Listening to albums has nothing to do with loyalty. It's not like you force your way through the garbage to find something nice. It's about experiencing the music in context that the artists intended. If it's a pain for you to do it, then maybe it's not for you. I enjoy it a lot. I listen to music when I work. I've tried making my own mixes and selections. The problem with that is the I grow tired of the music in a way that does not happen when I listen to full albums.I'm just thinking that you will probably not challenge your musical taste that way. My brothers are a bit like that. One has listened to the same music for the last 15-20 years, and the other will be annoyed by anything that is more alternative than the likes of Coldplay.Have you heard the new Daft Punk album? It's a good example of an album that grows on you as you listen through it. *Get Lucky' is an instant hit, but aside from that it doesn't really have any one stand out song. However, I love the album.. I can't really pick out one song to show why. Just cheked my last.fm and I've gone through it ten times now.
