One of my favourite bands, Arab Strap.
Ever heard of this song? It makes mention of Playstation, beer and broken hearts: a possible Pushsquare anthem?

@ellisael Do you like ZZ Top's 'Eliminator' album or Slash's Snakepit's 'It's Five o' Clock Somewhere'?

Recently I have been listening to Isis' last two albums and Neurosis 'Times of Grace' record, I also like a lot of Jazz and Classical music. Any recommendations with regard to Classical music would be appreciated.

@Draco_Ecliptic You might appreciate Hauschka, a German musician who plays the ‘prepared’ piano. Influenced by 20th century avant garde and experimental artists (John Cage,...) and contemporary electronic music. I really love his work.

@JJ-firl Thanks, hes not too shabby at all, sorry for the late response, can you recommend any albums by Philip Glass? I have Glassworks and love that, alternatively ,do you know of any contemporary jazz or other classical performers that might be of interest to me? I like Kronos Quartet's 'Aheym' and 'Polish Night Music' by David Lynch and Marek Zebrowski. If you haven't heard 'Night music, then I fully recommend giving it a spin.

Can anyone recommend anything similar to Colin Stetson's 'Presents Sorrow: A Re-imagining of Gorecki's third symphony'? Either jazz or classical would work for me, I really love the electric guitar-work on that record.

Recently discovered Pomplamoose - exceptionally glad that I did!

Earlier works are rather quirky and they had a 'video song' format (they're old-guard YouTubers) for a long time. More recently they've switched to collaboration and studio format with some really great original tracks and covers.

Highly recommended.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic No problem, I’m happy you took the time to listen. Glad you enjoyed it. I’m not very familiar with more recent work of Glass, I’m afraid but regarding contemporary jazz I have two recommendations:

STUFF

Belgian band that blends jazz, electronics and post-rock.

KOKOROKO

British jazz collective with afrobeat, latin influences.

Gremio108

Red Hot Chili Peppers' By The Way album, on a sunny Sunday morning.

That's all I came here to say really.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@JJ-firl

Thanks man! , Very nice stuff!, I'll see your jazz recommendations and raise you a couple of my own -

Let me know what you think and if you want more that are similar.
Played any good games recently? We can talk about them in a different thread.

I've had 'Wichita Lineman' in my head all day. Could be worse.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic John Scofield is such a legend, there's always a funky side to his work! The Nels Cline 4 are awesome too, never heard of them. These guys sure can jam...

@Kidfried Their live shows are off the chain!

Boards of Canada are probably my favourite music artists, if you like great music you should give the below a listen. It’s an old Peel session recording which they’ve rereleased today, it’s been a long time since I have heard it. The beginning always reminded me of Ecco the Dolphin too

@andreoni79 great, i’ve heard bits and pieces of b12 but never given them a full listen - i’ll play that album today. So much absolute gold signed to Warp!

@andreoni79 good shout by the way I’ve added to my regular rotation

Apparently there was a third member of BoC originally, by the name “Christ.” - if you’re not aware it’s worth checking out, he doesn’t seem to have a lot of music released and nothing on Spotify but you can find a bit on YouTube.

Enjoying the Apollo era radio beep samples in this one!

@kyleforrester87 @andreoni79 The video for Apex Twin's Windowlicker always used to freak me out! Mind you I tended to see at stupid o'clock after a night out so I had a few jars in me!

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
