Sweet Jane 61 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 for some reason I woke up this morning and started singing "Temptation Eyes" by the Grass Roots and I haven't heard that song in a long time, but it was like stuck in my brain. Guess that means I need to hear it or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens to me sometimes - I'll think of a song I haven't heard in years, and the next thing I know it'll be on the radio when I get in my truck...

berjo Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Although I've just returned from a long sabbatical from site, I can't find any threads (so far) on 'Post-Rock'. Anyone hear into this great genre? If unsure what bands are considered post-rock, here's a small list of ones that seem more popular (although doesn't mean they are any better) - Explosions in the Sky Godspeed You! Black Emperor Tracer AMC Russian Circles This Will Destroy You 65daysofstatic Do Make Say Think Maserati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I've only heard the first two from your list. I like Godspeed You Black Emperor. I would strongly recommend Slint, whose classic album "Spiderland" is only now being acknowledged as the other "most influential rock album of 1991". I also really like what I've heard of Low, whose album "The Great Destroyer" is one of the more mainstream/accessible examples of the post-rock genre. Shellac (featuring thelegendarySteveAlbini); do they count as post-rock? I'm never quite sure how the genre is defined. They seem to possess some of the features at least; quiet/loud dynamics, unusual structures/time signatures, etc. Anyways, I like to listen to Shellac from time to time. I also have time for Sigur Ros, who were totally compelling when I saw them live in Leeds City Varieties theatre a few years ago. I would welcome further discussion/advice on "post-rock", especially recommendations. I like what I've read / heard of Mogwai, for example, but don't know the best starting point and I'm loathe to shell out alot of dosh for the wrong album. I've only dipped my toes in the water of post-rock so far, but I would like to immerse myself a bit further. About knee-deep would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Didn't know where to put this, but since I've noticed some "Kula Shaker Fan Club" developing round these parts, here is a recent review of their new album. Kula Shaker Strangefolk (Strangefolk) £10.99 Britpop-era stars Kula Shaker's decision to reform certainly shows chutzpah. After making a splash with their debut K, a collection of cod-Indian psychedelic rock as gratifying as a tandoori pot noodle, they became one of Britain's least-loved bands, the result of a pretentious follow-up album and obnoxious frontman Crispian Mills. Strangely, then, Strangefolk isn't awful. The lyrics are as fatuous as ever - 'I'm a dic, dic, dic,' sings Mills on 'Great Dictator (Of the Free World) ': you tend to agree - but musically they've ditched the hippy-mystical bombast for a softer sound with shades of the Beach Boys. Who knows, they may find musical redemption yet. Hugh Montgomery in "The Observer" 19/08/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_n_white Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Sorry, but I don't see the charm of James Taylor. His songs bore me to tears. I kind of have to agree. Just never could get into his music at all. But I have friends who defend his music to the death as I'm sure many on here will. He just never was my cup of tea.
