Name ten artists YOU have never seen mentioned on ILM.

...unsure on a lot of these though.

Rufus Pantsraphone

what do you expect, she only has one ep!

i've never seen gaslight radio, gersey, art of fighting ('wires' is being released in the usa now i think), minimum chips, 2 litre dolby, sleepy township or ninetynine mentioned.

no one ever mentions my beloved INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY!!

DISCLAIMER - Not all of these bands may exist

i don't know.

ambrose mentioned the dylan group at some point

Which is a shame 'cos their CD "Nu Ar det Allvar!! / Voodoo Boogie" is absolutely bloody excellent!

artists that sound like Beatle's "Two of Us"

Also, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Alan Jackson, Waylon Jennings, The Louvin Brothers, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson (I & II), Robert Johnson, Jimmie Rodgers ('The Singing Brakeman'), Ike Turner, Big Joe Turner, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Ray Charles, Little Willie John, Sam Cooke, Bobby Womack, Rance Allen, Garnet Mimms, James Carr, Joe Tex, Irma Thomas, the Neville Brothers (not Gary & Phil), Professor Longhair, Thelonius Monk, Art Tatum, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Lee Morgan, Horace Silver, Lester Young, Art Pepper, Eric Dolphy, Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Smith, Alice Coltrane.

er, i was actually having a go at her lack of quality tunes rather than tunes in general..

i've never seen gaslight radio, gersey, art of fighting ('wires' is being released in the usa now i think), minimum chips, 2 litre dolby, sleepy township or ninetynine mentioned

time to discuss that melbourne music!! (this is a very indie list for you minna)

Unless they were mentioned on the best names thread and if not they should've been.

you can blame my dad for passing on the crap jokes gene.

time to discuss that melbourne music!!
ok, i started a thread

(this is a very indie list for you minna)

oh no, indie guilt! yes, i know the big playas (from three years ago). must be a hangover from reading the rest of beat other than 'play' or listening to rrr sometimes (once upon a time i was a subscriber! i succeeded chris v. as the music moderator on the rrr forum and i still am!!).

Andwella’s Dream
Big Boy Pete
Bintangs
Bow Street Runners
Crykle
Damnation of Adam Blessing
Group 1850
Indescribably Delicious
Jason Crest
Kaleidoscope

Which Kaleidoscope? The 60's Brit psychedelic Kaleidoscope, the 60's US psychedelics Kaleidoscope or the 90's trip-hop Kaleidoscope?!?

Pah! But they're nothing like as good (or obscure!) as the 60's Brit psychedelics Kaleidoscope!

I've got Dive Into Yesterday - highly recommended

There's also a 2CD set about of everything they recorded as Fairfield Parlour, including the unreleased White Faced Lady LP, but I haven't got that one.... yet....

Noel Coward, Hugh Sharpnel, Harmony Rockets, Appliance,
3LW (or any of these http://www.nick.com/music/index.jhtml ), Care, Main, Bluetile Lounge, Spoozys, Caustic Resin, Charalambides, Present, Aube, Arthur Baker, The Roches, Happy Flowers, Tackhead, 8ball&MJG, Space Negros, Ut, Ui, Perrey-Kingsley, Sue Fink, Dictators, Freur, Rita Mitsuoko, Blue Magoos, Dreamies, Audio Active, Burning Spear, Black Uhuru, Isreal Vibration, Eugene Chadbourne, Gil Melle, Todd Dockstader, Iannis Xenakis, Platters, Martika, Biff Rose, Sandy Denny, Plastic People of the Universe, Bluebells

I've got that Vels cd/record (Velocity) on my list of cds/records to get if I find it. It must have been from your recommendation.

Dan Regan--I mentioned Celebrity Skin once on a thread about bands with potential.

Here's something about Rita Mitsoukos:

Rita Mitsouko CoD (anyone heard of them?)

And then there's the White Spider:

Aimee Mann, S+D
Do you care about Aimee Mann's record label woes?
Sympathizing with Aimee Mann's boyfriend in the "Voices Carry" video - C or D?

I can't believe I've never mentioned Sue Saad and the Next, I'm pathetic!

The Coral
Negative Approach
Cranford Nix
N.Y. Loose
the Aqua Velvets
Getaway Cruiser

They had four lead singers, looked and sounded like a cross between Showaddywaddy and The Blues Brothers and I bloody loved 'em.

C'mon, there must be SOMEONE else who remembers them? Dr. C? Anyone? Help me out here, please!

Recent discovery of the ILM search facility leads me to the conclusion that Martin Skidmore is a fine man. More mentions of Garnet Mimms and Charlie Rich than any other poster.

I wont do this for every artist but you can check out numbers and mentions yourself if you care to challenge me (and I'll only go for Mexican artists):

Luis Miguel, Mijares, Emmanuel, Thalia, Caifanes, Chavela Vargas, Gran Silencio, Cristian Castro, Jose jose, Alejandro Fernandez, Vicente Fernandez, Mariachi Vargas, Los Panchos, Zoe, Plastilina Mosh, Fobia, Lost Acapulco, Zurdok, Panteon Rococo, El Tri, Sr. Bikini, Santa Sabina, Austin Tv, Angeles Azules, Control Machete, Molotov, Cafe Tacuba, Kinky, Ely Guerra, Nortec Collective, Zombies in Miami, Sussie 4, Hello Seahorse, Mexican Institute of Sound, Armando Manzanero, Yuri, Aleks Syntek, Timbiriche, Tigres del Norte, Tucanes de Tijuana, Banda Machos, El Recodo, Mana, Huracanes del norte, Conjunto Primavera, Lupillo Rivera, Julio Preciado, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Antonio Aguilar, Javier Solis, Lucha Villa...

Phew should I go on?

Very impressed about Grimes first mention on ilm was on this thread 6 years ago.

It's weird to me seeing the music made in latinamerica that ilm gets excited about and the classics that get completely ignored. Take per example:

Chancha via circuito
Genre: cumbia
Top track on spotify: sueño en paraguay (buho remix) 1.7M

Angeles Azules
Genre: cumbia
Top track on spotify: Mis sentimientos 20.8M

Guess who has more mentions on ILM?

Mike Majkowski

Not that I'm trying to be Capn Obscuro. Just happened to be listening to his latest quite striking Electroacoustic type album and used the search function, but no forthcoming Blankerty Blank chequebook and pen for ILM's experts today I'm afraid!

Fink. Mega successful artist who seems to have bypassed ILM completely. A few years ago I started a thread on him which got no replies at all.

Monolink = Steffen Linck, from Berlin, who started out as an acoustic troubadour:

who then incorporated more and more electronics and is now more a DJ/guitar player mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1qUNZ_DP84

also made this one (that's been in Gui Boratto's liveset for a while now) :

and remixed this

it's not as complicated as some of the other stuff I tend to stan about here but it works, it's nice for Summer and nobody can hate this, surely?

There are only like three posts ever (and one video I posted which apparently wasn't accompanied by her name) referencing Kazumi Nikaido, which is just frankly insane. She's super amazing. She did an album with Tara Jane O'Neil! Here's that video again:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=528gtqYPO6s

Not never, strictly speaking, because there's been some evocation of 'Legend of a Cowgirl' but it has always struck me as a little weird that there's basically zero discussion of Imani Coppola on the board. She's idiosyncratic and talented and has been doing it pretty consistently for two decades but I've literally never heard a peep about her irl, either.

don't think i've ever seen anyone mention 90s indie hiphop lyrical wizard j-live. he used to be my favorite rapper until i got way into common and andre3000. i would still jam his first two albums; and especially those early singles.

Ah fuck it, what do you smell like?
