Help me discover some new music...

Bands I like: UK: Here we go magic, Florence + the Machine, Django Django; Australia: Paul Kelly, Tame Impala;
US: Ty Segall, Calexico, the Throwdowns, the Killers

Rebbi,

Hve you ever checked out The Decemberists? Might be worth a listen.

I did not read all the replies as I am in a big hurry...
But check out CALEXICO "STOP LIGHT" the one with the 64 Chevy on the cover. The LP is a MUST HAVE!!
(However, after just wasting 30.00 on the "ALGIERS" album, I wonder what happened.)
I wonder what the engineers were thinking. It sounds like something done quickly...for FM radio...in the late 70's. All mushed together. TERRIBLE, lifeless mix!
CD is every bit as terrible. (It came with the LP)

Check them out though. Like a breath of fresh air.
Try "over my shoulder" if you would like to hear a sample of what is in store for you.

Also, an album called "ILLINOIS" by Sufjan something or other..."John Wayne Gacy" is spooky stuff...great!!!

Gumbydammit,
Great moniker, and thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks.
Also, check out "SUN KILL MOON" Several albums out, but "Admiral Fell Promises" is the first one I got...and it hooked me. Check out "Alesund" for a sample of what is in store. GREAT recording to boot.

JIC...Reading your list, you should know about Buckingham Nicks/Nicks Buckingham

Eddie From Ohio "Quick" "Juggler on his blades" Folky, funky, different, excellent.

Of Monsters and Men / My head is an animal

Are you aware of the new Eric Woolfson Releases? "Freudiana" should be in every Alan Parson-friendly collection. There are others...

Jarek Smietana & Wojtek Karolak - What's Goin' On

Joshua James "build me this"

And one I did not see in my second quick scan through this thread. To me, the most under-rated album since 1979.

WILLY DEVILLE "Miracle" (This is Mark Knopflers production.)
LP is very good, the latest CD remaster is even better.

Too bad Willy is no longer with us.
Sorry for the choppy nature of this post, but it is a cut and paste from an email. Happy listening!
