Off Topic · What are you listening to these days? Post your newer stuff. (page 1)

I've been on an alternative kick lately...

Ray LaMontagne

From his latest album

Citizen Cope

love ray.

i've had these two on recently:

i only listen to the old school joints... new stuff just doesn't do it for me.

TMS, here's an old school stevie wonder joint by this band from detroit "my dear disco."

they are awesome, saw them live in the village last week. lead singer's got an incredible voice and they put on a tremendous live show.

thanks but it just doesn't compare at all to the original.

seems like a lot of bands are covering the old stuff cuz all the material has dried up... there's nothing new & original coming out anymore these days... of course, there are a few exceptions... i think John Legend's stuff is interesting & Will Smith's little daughter Willow at 9 years old is already recording some good stuff... i think she's gonna be really good... but on the whole these days to me rock music, R&B, hiphop & electronic music is just regurgitation of stuff that's already been done.

Was posting twice about how you don't like new music in a new music thread then dissing a poster's preference really necessary?
Maybe if you look a little harder you might find something original that you like.

I like it when bands put their own twist on old songs. Been listening to Stevie since the early 70s, nice find.

Back to more new music, some hip hop Ive been listening to over the last year..

i have no idea what you're talking about, i wasn't dissing anyone, just stating my preference... seems like you're getting a little overly touchy over my comments ... i'm not trying to ruin your thread, just posting some discussion... sorry i bothered.

Good question, Why bother going into a thread about posting new stuff and making sweeping generalizations about today's music sucking? I honestly feel bad that you have reached a point where you can't find anything good to listen to anymore, that would drive me crazy. Instead of doing the opposite of what this thread was about maybe you should have waited a while to see what people post, maybe you would find something you like. I stayed on topic in your music thread, been contributing for weeks now. Not sure why you couldn't extend me the same courtesy. If you take that as being sensitive so be it. I'm not mad at ya TMS, just not sure why you felt to the need to do it so early in the thread. Peace.

Not directed at you TMS

awesome

I just found my Fat Freddy's Drop album again. It is pure class, really. They're from New Zealand and their music is a mix of reggae/ska/RnB.

One of many great songs of theirs

and the Jazzanova remix of Flashback is awesome

They played here in Denmark some weeks ago and the opening artist they had with them was Dj Vadim. He's also something I recommend you guys check out.

That's great Marv, love that rock/funk and the hendrixy guitar. Gonna find more stuff from him. Great voice.

Thanks Skeng, have to confess I haven't been exposed to too much contemporary music lately from overseas other then some stuff from the UK now and then. The first one made me wanna fire one up My favorite was the last one from DJ Vadim. More stuff to add to my ipod!

Good to hear my friend. And it's a nice thread you've started here!

I can easily fill your iPod, brah

Asian Dub Foundation is from UK, maybe you've heard of them.

The remixes of Mos Def and Talib Kweli are awesome. Max Tannone remixed them.

Mos Dub:

Dub Kweli:

I suggest you check out both albums - Mos Dub is the best one of the two imo.

Goof stuff skeng. I like how Asian Dub used what sounds like traditional Indian music instruments in their beat. I like the Talib
Kweli remix the most, been a fan of his since Quality. Kanye West produced it before he became an artist, well known, and by his own
admission.. out of control. Wish he would go back to his roots, he is a great producer. Thanks, I'll check out all those albums.
