oh no, collegiate indie afropop is probably Vampire Weekend
― nate woolls, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Oxford Prog = Radionghead, surely
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:42 (fifteen years ago) link
"probably shite ambient" could cover a LOT of acts.
― Pashmina, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:42 (fifteen years ago) link
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!

Chicago Instrumentalism - Tortoise?
xpost Was gonna guess FSOL there, Pash.
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:43 (fifteen years ago) link
somnambulent indie pop = galaxie 500? granted could be a lot of other acts tho. Nick you have far too much time on your hands
― Thomas, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:44 (fifteen years ago) link
Ancient NYC Prog Noise - James Chance or Sonic Yoot?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:45 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Canadian Laptop Psyche = Caribou
― nate woolls, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Minimalist Austin Guitar Pop = Spoon
― nate woolls, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Correct on Spoon and Caribou.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Knew Caribou had to be on there somewhere
My guess for "Acid Brass"

Beardy Forest Chants = Burzum
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:47 (fifteen years ago) link
Correct!
x-post; Wrong!
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:47 (fifteen years ago) link
Which one was correct, the Burzum or the Acid Brass alb?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:48 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:48 (fifteen years ago) link
British Jazz - Courtney Pine
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:49 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
Hoboken Drone Pop Jazz Indie = Yo La Tengo
― nate woolls, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Beardy Forest Chants - Aminal Collective?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:50 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
Proto Ambient Pop - early Eno albums?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:52 (fifteen years ago) link
They described themselves as "prog without the solos" years ago.
Right on Eno.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Ethnoambientsampledelia = My Life in the Bush of Ghosts?
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:53 (fifteen years ago) link
xpost Yeah sorry I was being sarcy, obviously Elbow are well Prog.
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:54 (fifteen years ago) link
xpost yeah, we're like a waltz band. but we play in 4/4
i have legendarily cloth ears but I don't hear the Prog in elbow at all.

I'll change it to "Bury Not-Prog" then!
Icelandic Pixie Bollocks is NOT Bjork, actually!
Boos right, Credit wrong, Fela right, Divine wrong, Bush of Ghosts right.

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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
Postpop is Disco Inferno!
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 25 April 2008 12:04 (fifteen years ago) link
I think Guillemots are down as Twee Indie Jazz Pop.
