Since you like Polvo and the Fellers, I'd check out Sun City Girls, Caroliner (both those bands have connections with the Fellers), Thinking Plague (who are like no wave prog), Bride of No-No (who are like prog no wave), and Truman's Water (very Polvo like... but jazzier).

Since you like Mission of Burma, Scratch Acid, and Drive Like Jehu, I'd reccomend Squirrel Bait (like Porky did), Bastro, Swell Maps (for their art punk stuff not so much their art noise stuff), Distorted Pony, Gaji (awesome Japanese Jesus Lizard-like band), Limited Express (Has Gone)...

Since you like Arab on Radar and Hella, I'd reccomend the excellent but terribly-named Giraffes? Giraffes! (arty math rock stuff -- really good), Coachwhips (super-loud, super-noisey garage rock with an organ), Phantom Limbs (evil circus organ punk stuff...), and Six Finger Satellite (you probably already know 'em, but seeing "arab on Radar" made me think of the crappy Chinese Stars and yeah)..

Since you like Polysics, and I can't say this enough, listen to Spoozys. Similiar band but better.

Since you like Spiritualized and Spacemen 3, check out Methadrone, Stars of the Lid, and Band of Susans.

Some stuff I think you'd really like is Farmers Market (like early Naked City but more talented), Secret Chiefs 3 (by far the best band around right now), Estradasphere (insanely insanely talented band), Don Salsa (well, the first song is 31 minutes long and combines nearly every genre of music ever in it).

I've been listening to Pit Er Pat, Plastic People of the Universe, Cyro Baptista, Synapse, John Fahey, and A-Frames lately. Excited by the new Experimental Dental School, I'm listening to all their stuff... those are all good bands.

But more than anything, Thinking Plague! That's the best band!!! Listen to 'em.

once again atsonicpark shows everyone up. anyways, truman's water, squirrel bait, and methadrone are all great, underrated bands. i listened to spoozys on your request, theyre good and all, but i still like polysics way more, theyre like a thrash devo, that whole concept stokes me.

Ahhh. Yea , Arto Lindsay, & Of Course Half Japanese !!

I seriously dont know who any of these groups are, but do y'all know who Jacob Miller is? Dillinger? Midnite? Don Carlos? Israel Vibrations? Jah Levi and the Higher Reasoning? Sugar Minott? Lucky Dube? Culture? the Itals? the Congos? Count Ossie and the Mystical Revelation of Rastafari? Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus? Donna and Althea? Jimmy Cliff? Wadi Gad? Brigadier Jerry? Pato Banton? Buju Banton? Winston Jarret? Sangie Davis? Morgan Herritage? Queen Ifrika?Madproffesor? Half Pint? Gregory Isaacs?Macka B?Sizzla? Anthony B? Groundation?eek-a-mouse?

did you just look at a random list of artists and decide to type them out? i used to have the harder they come soundtrack.

you must of heard of some of the bands that were listed before if you check out the non sonic sounds section every once in awhile.

no, that was just a random list of the albums I listen to, and most of those, who are still alive, I have seen in the past two years, and some like pato and don carlos and itals and wadi gad are upcoming this month. I honestly do not know by ear or even casual reference any of the groups people talk about on this board, and I haven't for at least three years now.

then check out the bands. you might like them. i bet some of the members of the bands smoke pot.

UHLER REP.

This man speaks the truth. 'A History of Madness' is one of my favorite albums of all time.

atsonicpark, have you listened to any solo albums by Bob Drake (a sometimes member of TP)? If not you should check him out, I think you would like his music. A bit more demented than the Plague but equally as dark. Good stuff!

Squirrel Bait are pretty cool

No, super_charger, I will have to check that out, thanks!

i totally agree with the awesome trumans water.


also check out the fantastic ahleuchatistas (again i beat that drum)


try out si schroeder, a one man band from dublin...



and to finish it off a dash of coughs

theres more to music than reggae. what a boring world we would live in if we all listened to the same stuff all the time. expand yr mind, the doors of perception are open for business... as once said by homer j

I don't get the whole "I listen to this genre" thing. There is so much music in the world. It's breath taking sometimes. I'd be pretty bored with music if I only listened to one genre. Staying in one genre means getting attached to pretty mediocre stuff quickly.

BTW, thinking plague are pretty damn cool

Wait, isn't hawk wind the 70's space rock band with Lemmy and that naked chick?

Go listen to some Warren Zevon.

Werewolf of London
oh woo hoo oh woo hoo
