Stuff I've come across that sounds interesting (in magazines and websites and stuff) but I've never actually heard. That's a long list...

:yes:

Aereogramme are very good. Kinda weird, though, because he sings really softly but then starts screaming at the end of some songs.

Mogwai are excellent instrumental music, and their song with Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals, "Dial: Revenge" is absolutely gorgeous. :up:

These are all great bands, especially Specials, Madness, Tim Finn & Prefab Sprout. Their album "Jordan The Comback" is amazing. Produced by none other than Thomas "She Blinded Me With Science" Dolby.
 
How can you possibly want to get into them if you haven't heard anything by them? Unless its to look cool? :wink:

Har har betty. :D

I got into Mogwai by accident and am fairly impressed. There are numerous bands that I hear endless good things about, and haven't heard one thing from, and would like to one day.
I'm getting there though. I'm on the way to discovering (rather late compared to some) Sigur Ros, GY!BE or however you abbreviate it, one day I will listen to Radiohead even if its to prove to myself they actually exist. Also finally hearing some JSBE.

There's more. But I take so long to get into unchartered territory.
 
'getting into them' doesn't necessarily imply becoming a fan betty staright off. i see it as getting to know them so you can actually find out if you like them or not.

the only one i can think of at the moment are sigur ros. they sound like they would be interesting.
 
Ditto again on Sigur Ros...just had a conversation about them with a friend last night...he said they were the best concert he'd ever seen. There's lot of other bands I want to get into, but I've heard at least a song or two...but with Sigur Ros, I've heard nada.
 
TOOOOOO many bands.

"get into" = hear some of their stuff. the reason i want to hear a lot of the bands that would be on my list-too-long-to-try-to-post-and-not-forget-half-the-bands is result of recommendations from friends and threads in this forum.

and yertle, i think you mean big audio dynamite, not bad audio dynamtie. they sometimes go by the abbrevation b.a.d. so that's probably what happened :wink: *cough*CHECK OUT BAD RELIGION FIRST*cough* ;)
 
IWB: Yeah I type too fast. :) Will check out Bad Religion today!

brettig: By 'get into', I meant IWB's definition.

meggie: I tried getting a Delgados song but was cut off at 90% on Soulseek.
 
*cough

Looks like Sigur Ros is in the lead! :sexywink: and rightfully so. Beautifully hypnotic. I'll second the "Best show i've ever seen" comment. Now i expect you all to DL or buy some this weekend, and call me on monday.

:up: :up:
