Hello All.

Just joined the forum and have been lurking around... decided I should take a moment to say hello..

I am a big music lover... I am currently on a search for some new music... what I have is great but I love indi artists and I find the best way to find them is through people

So Ill share one with you and hopefully you will share back..

My fav at the moment is Dallas Frasca... Blues music... she has a voice that kicks you in the guts and I love it!

She has just released a new song... Strong Man.. You can listen to it on her myspace along with other songs

myspace.com/dallasfrascamusic

Oh and I love music from all genres so please bring on the indi artists!

I too am a big Music Lover as u say, and am always in search of new music.


And seeing that your in search of new music i thought i would recomend you a cool site, Its called last FM (www.last.fm/) its kinda like making your own music station, U have a libary, music and artistsyou like, but the site does this cool thing where it recomends artists, from those that are in your libary,

Dono if it makes sence. but its pretty cool,

if you make an account be sure to add me as a friend so we can share music between one another.. (user name jord070)

thanks
Jordan

This band is from South Oz and the drummer windsurfs too myspace.com/underbelly4

and for those who poo poo icehouse as old skool or irrelevant or just not cool i leave you with some of the lyrics of we can get together

"Later sometime
You can buckle my shoes
You can pick up my sticks
You can knock on my door"

I think there's a message in there for all of us

I love indi music too..... I have found this website very good for finding new music and bands...

http://rateyourmusic.com/

I especially like how you rate albums you like or dislike, and then it will show you people have similar tastes too you... then using this you can look at their top albums and find stuff you have not heard of....

some of my favorite albums/bands that I discovered through here are :

Slint - Spiderland
Neutral milk hotel - In an Aeroplane over the sea
Sufjan Stevens - Illionis
Arcade fire - Funeral
Clap you hands and say yeah
Eels
Explosions in the Sky
GodSpeed you black Emperor
Interpol
Bright Eyes
Elliot Smith........

too many to name...

great stuff bigmark,

i'm a bit of a fan of slint also. never really knew anyone else that was into them.

If anyone likes Ska then I recommend

The Aquabats - Bunch of songs on youtube

And

Five Iron Frenzy (christian ska but still awesome and not too jesusy (ps. i dont believe in god, just wind))- bunch of songs on youtube

Try The Salads from Canada...good Ska, I saw them at Indy a few years ago, they rocked out.
