The NZA Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Ok, so this thread was cool. I ended up gettin the Brand Nubian album cause of what Duads said, and it was really good, so thanks man. I gotta look up that Jurrasic 5 track later, too. Here's some stuff i was recommended on the Bendis board that i cant find on Suprnova.org yet: -Little Brother - The Listening, The Chitlin' Circuit Mixtape (MC's: Phonte, Big Pooh)-9th wonder - God's stepson (Nas remixes) -Jill Scott -Jazzhole Anyone got/know about that? Soon as they post that, along with Roots' "Illadelph Halflife", ill be a happy man. Anyway, dont forget: if there's a band/artist you wanna know more about, post it here, and hopefully a fellow board member will be able to recommend a few songs to try them out with.
The NZA Posted August 31, 2004 Author Posted August 31, 2004 Well, i got Jill Scott: Beautifully Human, and that 9th Wonder one, so ne'ermind on them. Tryin out Dead Prez, but im really open to suggestions right now too.
La Lindsay Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 as usual, nina simone. but The Killers are AWESOME!!!! i don't know where i've been lately. i heard about them from some friends a while ago but i've never listened to them until recently when they started getting played on tv. kinda 80s sounding. and they're a very pretty band. and i've been turned onto Zero 7 and Frou Frou lately too. very soothing and mellow.
The NZA Posted September 20, 2004 Author Posted September 20, 2004 Duads - i got Jurassic 5 and Blackalicious, ill post bout em when im done...also got Soul Position (by RJD2, funny shit). Know anything bout MF Doom, Madvillian, any of that?
The NZA Posted September 22, 2004 Author Posted September 22, 2004 ok, lets try rock... Anyone know bout the Von Bondies? Detroit garage band, i believe, their single "Cmon, cmon" is the theme song to Rescue Me, and their album "Pawn Shoppe Heart" is said to be better than the White Stripes' effort...anyone onto them?
MyLeakyBucket Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 The Von Bondies aren't bad. Not my cup of tea but I have some friends who are really into them. As for Dead Prez, while I like there newest release RBG: Revolutionary But Gansta, the first 5 or so tracks off Lets Get Free is some of the best hip hop I've ever heard. If you can tell me of a harder and dirtier track than Hip Hop by Dead Prez I will be impressed.
Heartlessbitch Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Blackalicious is really good, michelle's bro burned me a cd
The NZA Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 What ya'll know bout "The Alchemist"? Ive heard good things bout "1st Infantry", but dont know the guy... Also, i may not know much bout em, but this Guerrilla Black guy needs to get offa Biggie's dick. The look, the flow, all of it: its a more obvious bite than anyone could've said of Shyne. Oh, and im open to jazz artists to be put onto, as well.
King of Snake Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 You should listen to Hope Of The States, they're like an edgier, more talented (except for the singing but better lyrics) Coldplay...well in parts, but they're good.
King of Snake Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Oh and for kick ass rock, track down Hot Snakes, fine pedigree, finer riffs, saw them last week with (guest poster) Vache, and of course Jont, well worth the hour train journey to Leeds, that's how good...
King of Snake Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Anyone who even gives half a shit about what I just said should download: Hope of the States: 'Enemies/Friends' or '66 Sleepers to Summer' Hot Snakes: 'LAX', '10th Planet', or 'Unlisted' Anyone who gives em a try lemme know what you think...
Reverend Jax Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 I recently downloaded via bit torrent the complete discography of the 5,6,7,8's (the band in the Tokyo club in Kill Bill Vol 1, in case any of you didn't already know that). I'm really digging it. The song in KBv1 (Woo Hoo) is a kinda early sixties garage rock song, and alot of their songs follow that suit, but a bunch of their songs are more like early sixties surf guitar, just like all those great tracks on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, like Bustin' Surfboards by the Tornadoes, Bullwinkle Part 2 by the Centurians, Comache by the Revels or Surf Rider by The Lively Ones. Not quite like Miserlou by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, just because they don't have technique anywhere near Dick Dale's level, but few do. There's also the great novelty of listening to Japanese women screaming English lyrics at the top of their lungs. You wonder: is there English really that bad, are they not even trying, or are they actaully intentionally sounding this bad? But that's not the entire appeal, because they actually have a handful of instrumental tracks on each album, and many are fantastic fun, and some are just downright groovy. I'm uploading two of their songs to my ftp, first a super short (1:16) mellow cool track, Harlem Nocturne, and second the explosive blast of pure energy, Bomb The Twist. Give them a listen, I went throught he trouble of uploadign them.
