(Tangent) What music shall I get?

By Will 2 years ago, at the end of October Leave a comment on this post

ACDC rocks my backside off

We spent a while talking about the Ashes today; the hours, the days, the Christmas, the New Year and all that kind of jazz. I’m going to be delighting the masses with my own brand of ball-by-balderdash but, during session-breaks and shift-breaks, I’ll need something to keep me awake during the small hours.

Music. Lately The Black Keys, Wolfmother, the Ramones, Undertones, Buzzcocks and Longpigs have been on a constant loop on my iPod. I need something new. Your suggestions please. It should ideally be loud and rocktastic but I’m open to suggestions.

Disclaimer: I can’t promise I won’t publicly humiliate you if your choice in music makes me laugh.

    You asked for it :)

    Nine Inch Nails (Not all loud, great music)
    Combichrist (if Industrial/Electronica is your thing)

    On the not-so-loud side, there’s Dandy Warhols (Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia, Odditorium) and Interpol (Turn on the Bright Lights).

    And then there’s always Radiohead.

    Everything by the White Stripes.

    TV on the Radio are really quite awesome, but give them a couple of listens ….

    If you like metal then MASTODON is a must. ISIS if you want something melodic yet heavy and ART BRUT while you’re downing a few beers. And I second the TV ON THE RADIO suggestion…great band.

    “The Boys Light up” by Australian crawl?

    You might also look at the album “Into the night we slide” by the ’80s South African group Radio Rats (http://www.rock.co.za/files/radiorats_night.html ) if you want something unusual!

    Also “Cold Fact” by Rodriguez http://www.sugarman.org/coldfact.html was popular in the former colonies, but virtually unheard in the UK.

    I’m afraid that not much from the last two decades seems to be worth recommending….

    If it’s for the Ashes, you need “Victoria” by the Kinks.

    If you want something that really rocks, try this:

    Look for “The new normal” by Cog. Should be loud enough.
