whoa - a weekend in the city's ROCKING! many notches higher than the first album!

Machines don't Care's album is awesome. Check it out if you love Switch and Sinden and their pals

some secret stashe of mine as of late....

Rodrigo Y Gabriela. Spanish Guitars with beat rhythm infuences

Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobious PIP. Europeans might be overloaded by them but no one knows who they are over on this side of the pond. Loved them at Fuji Rock. Electro-ish UK Hip Hop

Nizlopi. Been a fan for a few years now. Folk-Hop

Ryno's - that was weird! in a weird sort of way! ;)

pnx - totally agree with propane nightmares - my fav song on the album yet!

peeps - anything from the fatboy camp yet? what happened to BPA?

@Bosco : yes sir MGMT album is a killer!

@Rynostar : Rodrigo Y Gabriela! fuck yes :D

hey check out the self-titled debut from Friendly Fires, it's top notch vocal electro shoegaze funk.

oh and Popular Workshop is a band to keep an eye on. their Reptilians track is righteous.

new Bloc Party is fuckin' wicked too.

Certainly not a new recommendation, but a recommendation which I took up on about a year and a half late from the old music recommendation thread.... I finally got The Knife's "Silent Shout". It's pretty good. A nice blend of Dark, Acidy, Electro-Pop. There is one song that stands way out from the others on the album and thats the song "Marble House". I would best describe it as the best song Bjork never made. It's not really clear to me about what the song is all about, and the makers of the song have also admitted that they're not so sure themselves. I have an outside guess it might have to do with something with secret love between siblings, which, Ironically, the band consists of brother and sister...

Here is 1 of 2 music videos they made for the song:

Not thrilled with the live version, however. Too stripped.

got the new bloc party intimacy - halfway through and really liking it. isnt as gripping as a night in the city - first listen, but i think i'll really grow to like it - a bit self indulgent again!

the drums on this album are so chemical!

Bosco,

also "Deep Cuts" is nice!

Need to see Bloc Party live! I'll pick the album up this week!

this is for pooter: i remember u reccoing me where to start on soulwax with a nice long juicy post - unfortunatly i'm not being able to find that post anywhere.

can you let me know again where would be a good place to start with their discog - i heard a couple of remixes and i think i like their remix work.

Jack,

Get these:

Soulwax 'Nite Versions'

[addimage]http://www.plong.com...inute%20Now.jpg[/addimage]

Soulwax- 'Any Minute Now'

and if you enjoy those, then you should get this:

[addimage]http://musicblock.ru/_nw/8/91637.jpg[/addimage]

Soulwax 'Most of the Remixes...'

And if you really start to like them, go for the DVD they just put out 'Part of the Weekend Never Dies'

And just so you know, the Pink album (Nite Versions) is basically a full mixed album of the Grey album (Any Minute Now). However, I enjoy Nite Versions more, but Any Minute Now is nice to hear since you get to hear the tunes in untouched/mixed form. Fun stuff.

Their remix of MGMT's Kids is absolutely stunning.

hey thanks bosco! will do!

i already got down nite versions but haven't had time to hear it - i wanted to start with the one pooter said "u should start here" - hehe. I think he was talking about one hot minute. Will start there. Thx again!
