hello
I know I'm not about on the board that often any more. mips is doing his dissertation/recording lots so he's not really about a lot at the moment but we thought we'd try and get something going about music as a wider thang (mainly by knicking some ideas from other boards we read)....don't get me wrong, I'm happy to talk about tom and ed until the cows come home, especially with a new album upon us but I think this could be healthy for the board and a great way of finding out about new music of all types and also get some discussion going.
I know there's been some similar ideas in the past; there's the 'now playing' thread but that does tend to get used for "I'm listening to massive attack - blue lines" etc
what I'm talking about is people recomending new music thats out there and trying to keep it as a regular thread/feature. there's plenty of dj's on this board, sneaks, acidchildren & chem fan, dan, the lads from turnmills, me and mips and more. dj's aside everyone here is scouring for, and enjoying new music so...
so what do you think?. if you hear some good new music. just stick up a post and maybe a link to a record shop like juno/phonica/picadilly etc (I've picked UK stores that I use but anything that'll let people have a listen)
good idea/bad idea?
I'm going to start another thread on a similar tip for mixes. I download an awful lot of mixes, a) to listen to/enjoy and b) to find great new music. I figure a similar thing pointing people to gems you've found could be a nice idea. I check things like beatsinspace, resident advisor, 4four and some music blogs for new stuff. so maybe this could be a good way of pointing people towards some good shit.
feel free to throw eggs at me. ingore this post etc
