so what's with the 1:1 genre:artist correspondence anyway? Kinda makes the whole exercise of genre tagging pointless.

I think that covers about all the variations on this computer...
Pash is right on Peej. Ledge is right with Two Lone Swordsmen and Sabres. Battles, Elbow, Verve all right. Talk Talk too. And the E band.

The reason for (almost) 1:1 genre:artist ratio is because it amuses me and I never sort by genre!

Oooh, Quasi Christian Sandstorm rock may not be in any of the pngs.
Radiohead and Vampire Weekend is right. The "probably shite ambient" is M83!

Ancient NYC Prog Noise - James Chance or Sonic Yoot?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:45 (5 years ago) Permalink
Some bands get TWO or MORE genres depending on the album... Tortoise is wrong, but it is a mate of theirs. Only one of his albums, though...
Sonic Youth right.

Which one was correct, the Burzum or the Acid Brass alb?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:48 (5 years ago) Permalink
cos I was totally joking
For ages I had the E band as "The Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band On Acid". I think that's what started this odd habit, actually.
Acid Brass was right.

British Jazz - Courtney Pine
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:49 (5 years ago) Permalink
Elbow are the only band I can think of from Bury. And they're progrock only in the very loosest terms, ie not at all. Unless you mean canterBury, in which case there could be loads.
What was the somnambulent one?
― Thomas, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:50 (5 years ago) Permalink
Hoboken Drone Pop Jazz Indie = Yo La Tengo
― nate woolls, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:50 (5 years ago) Permalink
Beardy Forest Chants - Aminal Collective?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:50 (5 years ago) Permalink
Courtney Pine is one of many. I should be more creative with Acoustic Ladyland and Polar Bear.
The somnambulant one is Yo La Tengo but ONLY on And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out.
Wrong on forest chants. I hate AC. They'd be "fucking horrendous NYC hipster noise chant shit" if I had any.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:51 (5 years ago) Permalink
Yeah, for a proggy-sounding band that frequently cite their love of Prog in interviews, Elbow sure aren't Prog.
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:51 (5 years ago) Permalink
Proto Ambient Pop - early Eno albums?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:52 (5 years ago) Permalink

It's actually quite fun feeding your genre tags into Google and seeing the results. Doesn't really help, but entertaining.
What on earth is 'Postpop'???
― Rob M v2, Friday, 25 April 2008 11:39 (5 years ago) Permalink
found a review which called Guided by Voices postpop. I'm not sure that helps. What came to mind for me was the last Bjork album. but with SM it's probably Guillemots or something.
― Thomas, Friday, 25 April 2008 11:47 (5 years ago) Permalink
Postpop is Disco Inferno!
