Bands you've just got into and you love them
 

what are some bandsd you've just got into recently and find yourself headlong into them?

For me:
Klaxons
Butterfly Explosion
The Misfits (not new, but I just have discovered them)

bloody panda
xxx maniak
municipal waste
zu (thanks to a certain boardie!)

Wu-Tang Clan

Howling Hex

The Carpenters. I don't know why. I found a best of cd amongst random piles in the house and I throw it on at least once a day. Listen to the whole thing, beginning to end. Eeeeeasy listenin'. I don't know why.

Ex-Cocaine, though they only have like two releases out I believe. Their LP and a split 7" with...shit I forgot, I want to say Family Underground but I could be wrong. Anyways, both under appreciated I think.

Gallhammer - japanese black metal, crust punk stylee

If anybody has something they can up, please do!

Isis.

Spank me, I'm rotten. But I honestly only heard about them recently.

Action Swingers :)
The For Carnation (all that Slint buzz)
Frank Black (never cared enough from the Pixies but might as well listen)


... I don't know about "love" on that last two

Black Eyes.
Nations of Ulysses.

The Twilight Sad

slowdive

Orchestramaxfieldparrish
Fovea Hex
Misty Odor
Lau Nau

Some belgian bands you should hear:
Millionaire
The kids
Red Zebra
gorki (gorky)
the black box revelation
The van jets

the residents

i heard some stuff about 5 years ago i loved and proceeded to download a bunch of their albums and hated them!! of course, the first album i heard was "eskimo" and if you're familiar with that album....... yeah. not a good starting point.

i recently got a lot of their *good* albums, though, and man.. they're a really good band afterall!

The Residents are the backbone of most of the SF scenes, can't make an avant garde album without name-checking 'em.

My Brightest Diamond
Slowdive too :)
Kitchens of Distinction
Espers

Think the split 7" was with GHQ. What do Ex-Cocaine sound like?

She's great!

For me:

From Monument to Masses
Richard Youngs
This Mortal Coil
Burning Star Core

Better late than never, I just got into Charalambides.

Joy shapes is a masterpiece.

I think it is time i check out Klaxons. I keep hearing good things about them.

Your musical journey starts here.

GBV and Fugazi

Good shit.

:)

None. I haven't bought any music in so long. :(

I downloaded This Song Is A Mess But So Am I's last CD that they didn't release (only available for download). It is pretty good. But that is all I have. I don't know if I am loving it.

Why not?

I'm broke, and the stuff that I want is only available to me online which makes the whole thing discouraging because I'd rather buy a bunch of stuff at once and save on shipping. So usually when I do get money, I'd end up spending it before I can save enough to buy anything online.

Shipping is a pain in the arse due to the cost. It cost me $20 or so to order some vinyl and cds the other week. Worth it though.

I usually just buy enough at once from Amazon and order free shipping.
