For the first time ever, I've found myself stumped as to what I should download. So I am relying on ILM to help me. So albums or tracks that I would like please. Here is a handful of tracks to use as a guide so you know what I like.

I LIKE:
Electronica in the style of: Plaid, Autechre, Two Lone Swordsmen
Indie in the style of: Gorky's, Boo Radleys, Pavement, Radiohead
Classic stuff like: Beach Boys, Doo Wop, Tom Waits, Elvis
Metal like: Arcturus, Emperor, Electric Wizard, Kyuss, Rhapsody, Sigh
Reggae: Wackies Dub, Roots, Rocksteady, Dancehall

I DON'T LIKE:
New R*ck Revolution rubbish
R'n'B where they don't sing words just go "waauauauauauagh"

Thanks for your help! :-)

re: electronica - try the Tongut label, esp. the track Bubbles by Todd Bodine

Take a look to see if there's any Rheostatics out there: "California Dreamline" might be a good start to hit you in that gorky's spot, but also try "I Fab Thee" "Onilley's Strange Dream" or maybe "Earth/Monstrous Hummingbird".

Blue Stingrays - Zuma Sunset
Satans Pilgrims - Fra Diavolo

Treble Spankers - Araban

Tear Da Club Up Thugz - Triple 6 Clubhouse

inserting tom waits into the classic category is a bit of a stretch. la casa azul is great, they even lift the dynasty theme, i think it is dynasty.

The Yellow Balloon.

You might like the Cansecos s/t album. Interesting pop album that might fit with your indie interests.

You tried the Hi/Stax Records catalogues? Classic Memphis soul.

Also, whenever I find myself trying to extend a download spree, I try and sit back and really listen to what I do have. This time I gravitated to Rufus Thomas, Al Green, Talking Heads, and Vivaldi for some reason.

bollywood rhythm album (no.30) is very good.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 22 February 2004 17:53 (twenty years ago) link

Get the whole of Robert Rental & the Normal's 'Live at West Runton Pavilion' and R. Rental and Thomas Leer's 'The Bridge'.

what isn't classic about tom waits?

tomcats in tokyo "sweet gloomy home"

la casa azul is spot on so far!

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 23 February 2004 01:43 (twenty years ago) link

dukes of hang gliding "my cinema". underrated and wonderful and far far better than coldplay and their ilk.

the goodiepal track 'icon dub' is one of the happiest things you could ever hope to hear. it's at that site above in demonbag 9HI. (thanks for the link cozen)

kayo dot

all songs by Dennis Brown, Delroy Wilson, and John Holt. I think they have a thousand songs between the three of them so surely you couldn't have downloaded all of them already. Right?

I use www.boomkat.com as a guide to downloading electronica. Obv. the recently released stuff will be hard to trck down, but go back a few weeks and you'll becool. They also have snippets of some of the tracks on the site - try before you buy!

Blaine Reininger "Windy Outside" is a must.
