Alrighty people. Reccomend me some cds for my weekly cd spree
 

I want indie rock from the early 90's or late 80's. I already have the first three pavement albums in expanded form, and am holding out for BTC in expanded. I have all of Dinos good albums. I want Sebadoh or something similar. I have all the Flaming lips albums from the 90's except ambulance and Zaireeka!. Hurry!

Start in your own backyard:

Scientists - Sedition or Blood Red River
Triffids - Born Sandy Devotional or Calenture

Keep it Australian, then:

New Christs - Distemper

Anything not Australian?

Einstuerzende Neubauten - Halber Mensch or Strategies Against Architechture 2

^Indie please

Throwing Muses - In A Doghouse?

Ahh yes heard a lot of good stuff bout them. Which albums would you reccomend good sir?

The Rain In Gaza - Listen To the Window

^ I made this up. Don't ask for it in the shop.

In A Doghouse contains their first LP and EP, plus a few demoes. It is well worth the entrance fee.

cool, thanks. I'll let you know how I go.

Big Black
Live Skull
Loop
Thee Hypnotics

Big Dipper

^ Particularly Live'r Than God

Yo La Tengo - Painful

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

Indie? ;)

Head of David
The Telescopes
Pale Saints

that was released on an independent record label, those ARE indie records.

I was about to mention them, but their records are hard enough to get in the UK, so God knows how difficult it would be in Australia.

but, inspired by the mention of HoD, I will add:
Jesu - Conqueror

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!

very strong contender for absolute record of the year.

So Pavement qualifies as indie, yet EN do not?

Another suggestion, with which I'm sure Lux will agree:

The Cramps - Bad Music for Bad People or Psychedelic Jungle or Songs the Lord Taught Us or Stay Sick or Flamejob or Off The Bone or Smell of Female or A Date With Elvis.

If we're not being limited to 'guitar based' indie then I'd recommend the Australian home grown wonderfulness of 'Severed Heads' - City Slab Horror in particular.

Mmm...Cramps.

Guitar based 80's/90's indie, how about these 4 (as a starter for ten)

archers of loaf
band of susans
mission of burma
tar

This could be a really loooooonnnng list if I put my mind to it!

Nat Baldwin - Lights Out

Positraction took over my LIFE a few months ago - I love it.

I've only got A Gilded Eternity by Loop though - I... well... it's good stuff, but it's not exactly seminal. Just solid.

Anyone hear of Nick Cave's new band "Grinderman"? I was browsing the new releases on BarnesandNoble.com and stumbled upon it and was skimming over the tracks, it sounds pretty cool. Guess if you're a Cave fan you'd want to check this out.

Alright i'm back now. I bought III, Bakesale, Bubble and Scrape and Westing (By Musket and Sextant). Remember this is Australia so I couldn't find any Jesus Lizard and only 2 Throwing Muses albums. No Polvo either.

good choices.

for yr next spree:

liars- drums not dead
andrew bird- armchair apocrypha
cloud cult- the meaning of 8
illinois- what the hell do i know?
ted leo/pharmacists- living with the living
busdriver- roadkillovercoat
harlem shakes- burning birthdays

There's no way i'm going to find most of those bands here in Australia. And I don't want to listen to any band started after 2000. But thanks anyway.
