Music Post!

[aggienaut]

   Now if you pay any attention to the "current music" which I occasionally bother to fill out, you may have some idea of my musical taste. And you will know it prominantly includes things such as Flogging Molly, Against Me!, Filthy Thieving Bastards, Tiger Army, Necromantix, etc. Punk and psychobilly, basically.
   There are of course a wider variety of bands I really like, such as Placebo, Planet Smashers, Cake, Ima Robot, Stellastarr, the Weakerthans, Hefner, etc.
   I even have a soft spot for songs like this (though I think the recording I have is better quality than that), and this, by Tegan & Sara.

   And kind of like that, I am currently enthralled by this song by Lily Allen:

   I love the style of it. What would you call that? Its blue grass esque (I think ?) but is there a more accurate/specific word?

   Also, I like how the one guitarist is positioned right behind her and seems to have kind of a wtf expression on his face (esp at 3:25), subtley making him seem to represent the subject of the song I think.

   Anyway if anyone could recommend to me any songs that sound similar to the above-embedded, or songs/bands you'd think I'd like based on the bands I've mentioned liking here, I'd always appreciate it. (=

This whole song is a bit WTF, hah! The video was awesome and I had a great laugh...but the lyrics really take the cake:

Oh I lie here in the wet patch
In the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I spent ages giving head
Then I remember all the nice things that you ever said to me
Maybe I'm just overreacting maybe you're the one for me...

Yeah its quite silly, and is that a chicken sitting on top of a cow?!

[nursemae.livejournal.com]

But of course! Good bug eatin' up there. :) Like those little birds that always ride around on rhinos and wildabeests!

Oh man! Surely you're familiar with some of these bands, but if not, check out EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM! (I'm into that twangy shit)

Old 97's
Drive-By Truckers
Restavrant
Uncle Tupelo
Old Crow Medicine Show
the Avett Brothers
the Fucking Buckaroos
Whiskey Folk Ramblers
O'Death
Scott Biram

Also, I'm surprised I found myself diggin' that Lily Allen song. Thanks for that!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard of any of those! looks like I'll be doing some youtubin!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Like Old 97s - Dance With Me. Fun video too.

Restavrant sounded cool but all I could find were live recordings with really shitty sound quality.

Liked a lot of Old Crow Medicine Show

Really like Avett Brothers - Murder in the City

You've heard "The Fear" by Lily Allen too, right?

[siredurado.livejournal.com]

That's been in the top 10 here for ages :)

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

Ah. I'm in NZ. When we get what is a bit strange here.

[siredurado.livejournal.com]

I don't think the charts that you guys across the ditch have differ dramatically to what we have. Except perhaps our JJJ type stuff... :)

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

Not dramatically, no, given that most of what's in the chart is American and if it's not American, it's British. But we get a lot less British stuff than I would expect listening to Radio One and the timing does vary - Lady Gaga's been and gone here where "Poker Face" is currently no.1 in the UK and to my knowledge, "The Fear" hasn't been released here yet. I certainly haven't heard it blasting at me from all directions, so if it has, it hasn't exploded onto the charts yet - I've been listening to her new stuff on YouTube.

[siredurado.livejournal.com]

Oh ok.. The Fear has been all over the radio and charts here for the past month or so!

[glowy-lovers.livejournal.com]

I love Lily Allen she says it as it is :)

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

The whole Lily Allen album is fantastic, really.

Let's see....


Marti Brom, especially her rendition of "If You Don't Like My Peaches, Don't Shake My Tree"
Of course, there's always Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins

It's kind of rockabilly meets '60s pop.

It's pretty funny because when I first heard this song I immediately thought of you. And in a lyric-oriented way...not a melody-oriented way.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Funny, but I'm gonna go ahead and assume you are just an internet troll who does not actually have any first hand knowledge of that.

whatever helps you sleep at night ;)

no worries, you were probably giving all the good-loving to the other girl, right?

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Anything you might be referring to is ancient history and the concerned parties have long since moved beyond it.

[themarinator.livejournal.com]

I was on a sort of hiatus when you added me, but now I'm back and have been skimming through your entries... That Lilly Allen song is amazing. I'd heard some of her other stuff on the radio, but that is just awesome. Consider yourself friended!

Thanks! (:
