porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 07:31 AM

Loop
Spacemen 3
The Jesus and Mary Chain(since the thread is about british bands)
Felt
Tricky
Portishead
The Smiths
Mogwai(for a certain period of time)
Blur
The Cure
Aphex Twin
Broadcast
Stereolab(for a certain period of time)
MIA
The entire genres of:
1)Jungle
2)Drum n Bass
3)Trip Hop
4)Grime
5)Uk Garage

The endorsement of the following(this applies to England more than the British soil as such):
1)Exotica
2)French House/disco
3)Italian film music,Ennio Morricone etc
4)Whatever is interesting and comes out of Germany
5)Basically,any good band or musical activity worth a mention that happens/operates in Europe/America/The World as a whole.

As i said i could go on for a bit because the '10 only' restriction wont do any justice to the colourful musical tales that unfold on this relatively small island.There's more,there's a lot more.The pop section alone requires another post for itself.

right.(p.s. suggestions for similar albums to get?no?uh?)
my list would be a patchwork of names already mentioned,so i'll go with a "contemporary" band that i think could become a quite strong "music entity"
65daysofstatic (young but great,in my humble opinion)

porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 08:50 AM

Not strictly similar(in fact both musically and thematically they differ quite a bit) but check out Lady Sovereign and one of my favourite albums of all time,wich is:
Eve-The Scorpion.

thanks,i'll gather some info about it and i'll have a listen.on a side note, the sinner in me from last depeche mode album is haunting me.

Toilet & Bowels · 08.21.2006, 09:35 AM

porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 09:38 AM

Yes,Eve!

Everyneurotic · 08.21.2006, 09:39 AM

Toilet & Bowels · 08.21.2006, 09:43 AM

porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 09:44 AM

I don't care Toilet.Still,that's one of my favourite albums ,like,EVER!!

Toilet & Bowels · 08.21.2006, 09:49 AM

isn't on the juke box in the joiners?

porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 09:51 AM

Funny that you mention that beautiful digital machine they call a jukebox in there.I've once searched for merzbow and put it on.The looks of despair in the eyes of all those hoxtonites,i'll remember for years to come.

Toilet & Bowels · 08.21.2006, 10:00 AM

there's a pub in whitechapel (the castle) that has one of those, it's great (the pub and the machine).

porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 10:03 AM

Yeah they are great machines because you can declare war on people who play the same thing over and over again just like that!

Toilet & Bowels · 08.21.2006, 10:07 AM

i wonder who it is that thought it would be worth putting merzbow on them? whoever it is deserves a pat on the back.

porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 10:21 AM

The thing with them is that they are directly linked to the internet(a kind of instant itunes jukebox in a way) wich means that you can get a lot of more obscure stuff that wouldnt normally find its way into those pubs.It takes an evil mind like mine to use them to the best of their capabilities.
