seti Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 A friend in Tokyo sent me a mix cd with this band included. Very interesting. I've been hooked for a while. They formed in 2008. It reminds me of Daft Punk but a little more interesting at times. Not my everyday listening but when I want to hear something fast paced and interesting I put this on. Hard to believe this badn only has three members. Band: White White Sisters Genere: japanese hard electronic Song: Imperfect Conflict You can listen to samples here. http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8456719 white white sisters are... ?gt, prog, vo? yuya matsumura ?drums? kazumasa ishii ?VJ, art work? kouta tajima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Fantastic response and great offerings so far. After all, we can all use some new music. I'm getting tired of playing Inda Godda Davita over and over and over and over.... I'll also be rooting around to see if I have any leftover Klipsch memorabilia I can include in the auction.

LarryC Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Time for Three. Awesome talent! Awesome music! Not sure how long they have been around but they are pretty young. I'd never heard of them until a month ago Three extraordinary string players (2 violins and a string bass, often played well up into the cello range) who met and played as students at the first-class Curtis Institute for Music in Philly. They describe their style as "elements of classical, country western, gypsy and jazz idioms forming a blend all its own."They gave one of DC area Beethoven Society's best-liked concerts a few years ago. It sounded closer to bluegrass than the video segment now on their website, http://tf3.com/index.php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 How about a nice bribe, a CD of Iron Butterfly (seein' as how you've just about worn out whatever you've got - LOL!!!), and we'll call it a day. [] PS. Can you wash that shirt again? Tie it up with rubber bands and throw in some red dye? Just for some nostalgia, you understand....[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chosen1 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Corinne Bailey Rae. She's refreshingly original in her music but hearkens to old school masters of the craft playing guitar, a live band, and thoughtful songwriting all her own. Her vocals are delivered with unique feeling and inflection on original numbers as well as some covers on her first self-titled Deluxe 2-CD set. On her latest CD/album The Sea she delves a little deeper following the death of her husband with a more personal and conscious effort, while still including great rhythm on the more upbeat numbers. Easily listenable all day with tunes that resonate after play. If there was a comparison I would say SADE, with all due respect would be closest. But not many other of the music puppets following status quo without any substance. She's a great live performer, cute as they come, and humble in this new music machine industry. I guess her genre would be sort of R&B adult contemporary, but I wouldn't pigeonhole this latest talent. Her best is still yet to come!

pmsummer Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Group: The Owl Service Album: The View From A Hill Genre: British Folk-Rock Neo-Revival Year: 2010 The Owl Service are a folk super-group with credentials so old-school they could have been frozen in the seventies, only to be thawed out when the world was in great peril. Their union has assembled some of the leading lights in the UK Folk scene as one non-moss gathering finely honed stone of trad brilliance. The View From A Hill forms part of their Pattern Beneath The Plough project and sees them taking on traditional folk songs in an extremely traditional way. Their style is far more Steeleye Span or Fairport Convention than Mumford or Marling, but they take full advantage of 21st-century production. Everything here is recorded with an almost albini-esque honesty and simplicity. Their raw talent is on record as it would be if they were playing in your back garden. Across the fifteen songs the seven-piece go a ramblin’ through a disparate array of folk footpaths with unabashed confidence. ‘Polly On The Shore’ opens the record and draws the curtain up with the rumbling of thunder and a cello playing alone. It perfectly sets the scene for the haunting stories that lay ahead – of which there are many – but none are more brilliant than the twinned tales of ‘I Was A Young Man’ and ‘Sorry The Day I Was Married’. Both are impressive but it’s on the later half of this symbiotic partnership that the album makes its strongest showing. The gifted Nancy Wallace sings unaccompanied and delivers a spellbinding vocal performance that guarantees goosebumps. This is without question a unique and extraordinary body of songs and styles long thought forgotten, yet lovingly brought back to life by a talented and passionate collective. When the curtain closes we are left with an album perfectly out of place with popular folk thinking. One that that leaves lasting ripples in the pond and challenges the mainstream by standing still. The View From A Hill? Pretty spectacular actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You ever heard of the this Italian American gentlemen, he has since past on, but the cat could sing. Its just too bad he never really made a name for himself while he was alive. I just discovered him last week, his name is Frank Sinatra, very talented voice. Check him out.

pmsummer Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Group: Punch Brothers Album: Punch Genre: New-Blue Grass Year: 2010 The Punch Brothers are nothing less than a youthful band comprising the most prodigious and sought-after musicians from the cutting edge of bluegrass and folk music. The quintet was brought together by former Nickel Creek star Chris Thile, who, the critic Geoffrey Himes of Washington Post declared, "may well be the most virtuosic American ever to play the mandolin "– adding, not insignificantly, that "he has the flirtatious charisma of a major pop star." Joining him are Chris Eldridge, who Acoustic Guitar has called "the most-talked-about guitarist in the bluegrass world," a member of The Infamous Stringdusters and occasional guest star with dad Ben’s legendary combo, The Seldom Scene; bassist Greg Garrison, who has recorded with John Scofield and Vasser Clements, among many others, and regularly sits in with Leftover Salmon; banjo player Noam Pikelny, an alumnus of Leftover Salmon and the John Cowan Band who also appears on label-mate K.D. Lang’s new disc, Watershed; and fiddle player Gabe Witcher, "a first-call studio player with a big sound and immaculate intonation," according to String magazine, who has been featured, on the Oscar-winning soundtracks of Babel and Brokeback Mountain, among countless other films.

Pete H Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Zac Brown Band You Get What You Give Country, Southern Rock, Blues (They cover a lot of ground) I love this band and this one as well as their first (Foundation 2008) will let you enjoy everything from foot stompin shi^ kickin country to some fine lyrical ballads to some reggae influenced songs. With so many recordings having only one or two really good tracks on them, it's great when I latch on to a band that I can hit play and enjoy every cut, especially when there's such diversity.

seti Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Ok the exact opposite of Japanese electronic noise is a new band from Kentucky called The Dirt Daubers they do mountain music, rockabilly, rag time, bluegrass, harlem jazz and a little honky tonk. Great music and live shows. http://www.thedirtdaubers.net/ J.D. Wilkes - Banjo, Harmonica, Piano, Kazoo, VocalsJessica Wilkes - Mandolin, VocalsMark Robertson - Stand-up bass Check out the videos http://www.thedirtdaubers.net/videos.htm In the first video I dig the little horns on his harmonica... tooo cool.

Cool. I don't have a genre preference just not the same bs all over again. I'm going to try to catch them in Nashville unless they add a date in Dallas or Austin. They appear to be opening some days with the legendary shack shakers which are also interesting.
