The Music Thread Strikes Back

Not sure how this works since Tony Allen is dead, but this collaboration with Sampa the Great is excellent:
 
chemical brothers are teasing something.
also seems to be an RSD release that is a brand new track. The Darkness That You Fear apparently.
 
My mate is stuck in the 1980's music wise.
Can you give me a list of 25 tracks from 1990 onward that he should know but doesn't.

His taste is pure 80's pop (Human League, Big Country, Fine Young Cannibals', Madness etc).

I'm thinking Doves, The National, Maximo Park and things similar.....

Cheers
 
I love Maxïmo Park but they're not very 80s. Maybe something like "All Of Me" which is their latest single and is a great modern guitar + synth tune.

For The Doves then "Pounding" is the obvious choice.

He'd probably like Haim too. They have lots of easy to listen stuff. "Little Of Your Love" is a particular banger.

I've been trying a bit of Taylor Swift lately and "You Belong With Me" is very catchy. Ringo Starr said its one of his guilty pleasure tunes.

A few more from the TWF Spotify playlist that would probably fit the bill:

Tonight The Streets Are Ours - Rich Hawley
I Can Only Disappoint U - Mansun
Summer Day - Sheryl Crowe
Spiralling - Keane
Remedy - Little Boots
Party In My Head - Sophie Ellis Bextor
Summertime - The Sundays
Bulletproof - La Roux
Gravity - Embrace
Pumping On Your Stereo - Supergrass
Rocket - Goldfrapp

I'd add Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time to this list
 
Pop drummer - bang bang bang
Rock drummer - BANG BANG BANG
Jazz drummer - bangety bang bang tltltltltltltltl ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum

Lots of jazz genres (like rock music) and not gonna pretend I like them all. Good free-jazz is similar to good prog rock, but minus the showmanship and unnecessary singing.
 
just done a periodic syd barrett refresh. sadly always leaves me feeling such a huge sense of loss for the guy. god knows how he himself and people around him must have felt living through it all. obviously, given the seeming lack of any reconciliation and contact in later years many connected to him were and still must be haunted by it to different degrees.

anyhow, on this date in 1967 PF went into the studio to record See Emily Play. dave gilmour visited them in the studio during recordings and commented later that the previously affable syd barrett was so unfriendly to him that it made him feel terribly uneasy, such that he saw it in hindsight as a sign of what was to come. there's a few people who say to take what the band members say with a pinch of salt, implying that the breakdown was exaggerated and should have been handled differently. i don't doubt the latter, but it seems pretty clear he'd been badly damaged in some way undoubtedly contributed to by his lsd use. the simple lyrics to jugband blues are so fkin heartbreaking. anyway, here's to another genius but one who never reached his potential or had the career his music deserved.

 
mainly for @Tredman, as I anticipate he'll appreciate and am unaware how many other world music peeps there are on here, but currently having an eclectic day with papa wemba, salif keita, and youssou n'dour amongst others.

might get a bit tribal this afternoon and listen to the drummers of burundi, and the drummers of kodo.

I love a bit of salif keita - but try oliver mutukudzi if you like that vein, start with Todii.

Much prefer Koffi Olomide to Papa Wemba - saw him live in a dingy club in Lusaka, was by far and away the most mental gig I have ever been to.
 
I’ve been revisiting some Megadeth for the first time in years recently. Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia.
