share the music day

post a band/artist that you think is totally amazing, but for some insane reason, not very many people have heard of or listen to.

my pick: hayden

hmmmmmmmmm i think penny has heard many of my picks.

But bere i s my choice:

Main - The whole Hertz 6 CD box set.

a day called zero

(has members of black heart procession & rocket from the crypt)
.. they released a cd on gravity records then broke up to do some bigger things

oh also..

a minor forest

they were from san francisco.. also broke up .. released several albums..
and some of the members were in a side project called pee that was cool as well.. not sure how many people have heard them.. but i really thought they were great..

don't forget "anal cunt" with amazing penis songs like "the internet is gay" and "fuck you, you're old" i still wonder why this band hasn't achieved stardom.

To post just one I would have to say:
Languis

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

i like shellac.. and bob weston and steve albini have recorded many great bands in their own electric audio studios.. they ought to spend more time on shellac .. i've heard they've had to cut short their tours in europe before, to come back to record other bands.. still they gotta love their work

even though i'm sure a lot more people have heard them then i know of.. let's give plugs to Mindless Self Indulgence and Dillinger Escape Plan.. 2 of the greatest bands ever created

Machine Drum. This dude is amazing and he resopnds to his emails. Totally in same league as Boards of Canada, if any ya'll like that, peep him.

*thought riot
*scattered fall
*betty rage

all local bands for me and really good friends of mine, but i think they are fucking amazing.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are great-- really cool punk pop, and the singer has more crazy stage presence than anyone i've ever seen. And once you've heard her sing you know exactly what she'd sound like during rough sex.

And, although there's not much new on her on the net, KRISTEEN YOUNG is amazing (and is playing at CBGBs tomorrow night)

Shellac are so damn good it hurts. They are playing two shows at the 400 in september, for those in the Minneapolis area. Don't miss it! You will be sorry!

As for a band no one has heard, I picked up a compilation of this Japanese band Ruins of their material from 1986 to 1992 that is like a brick in the face, but in a good way. Amazing! Skin Graft records put it out if you are curious. They are currently releasing stuff for John Zorns label.

the 78th fraser highlanders

one o' the best bagpipe bands in the world!!

XTC: they get loads of critical acclaim but nobody buys their albums. sad, because these guys do guitarpop bettter than anyone, and have been at it since before half the sg members were born.

SWEEP THE LEG JOHNNY is, given their dedication and hard work, criminally under-appreciated. Coincidentally, they did a split 7" with A Minor Forest, who also rocked.

Shellac's playing Milwaukee Wednesday, September 4, jsyk.

aveo..

you can likely see them on tour somewhere in the next month.. i know they have a show coming up at the casbah in san diego w/ frank black.. i've seen them twice here in seattle (similarity to the smiths)..

also want to mention carissa's wierd..

enjoy their music a lot.. they have a new cd coming out this month.. i can't wait.

capture the flag

let's give it up for:
the impotent sea snakes
bizzar sex trio
deathboy
grim faeries
CiRCLE no.5
and jack's broken heart

my pic is going to be me

yay
