Music you've only just discovered

[Ted Dansons Wig]

No. Never heard of that one. The box set is made of individual tracks really, outtakes, different versions etc. A little annoying at times in truth as you listen to an 8 minute master and then the next song is the 9 minute outtake - pretty much the same song.

I only have the "First time" Count Basie/Duke Ellington album which is more orchestra based. A little cluttered for my tastes.

Did they not only do this one album together?

Theres a superb Duke collaboration with Coleman Hawkins if you can gt hold of it. First track is "Limbo Jazz" - my god theres a track to cheer anyone up. First track played at me wedding...

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Yep, its mentioned above! Great choice for a wedding song mate!

I'm usually pretty good with new music but thanks to the joy of both 'That's Entertainment' in Manchester and the Zoverstocks shop on Amazon I've spent the last year tying up the loose ends in my CD collection and have properly got into loads of bands who I never really gave the time of day before. Most notably:

Led Zeppelin (only ever listened to a best of compilation)

Bob Dylan (only really listened to Blonde on Blonde)

Sugar

Belly

Brakes

Secret Machines

Slowdive

Pre-Document R.E.M

Six By Seven

My Vitriol

Darkstar

Mansun (Six is a masterpiece)

When you can get 3 CDs for a fiver and there's loads of stuff you sort of know about but have never really listened to, you can't go wrong.

For new music I sometimes have a dip into the archive.org live music vaults - 108,736 gigs from over 5,000 bands, all with artist consent, and all streamed via a little jukebox app

Example - Hayseed Dixie at the Tollbooth, Stirling from Sept 2011

Check out The Twangs new album 10:20. Brilliant

[dirty_dog]

I'm giving Dry the River another go and it sounds better this time round

[KampHolland]

Always loved MuteMath, but haven't been listening for a while.. too bad they're not really well known in Europe, and they just refuse to get their asses over here..!

They do have 3 really solid albums..

I could really see them do the John Peel stage some day.. would love that!

Fat Freddy's Drop. Ace! But you need to listen to several tracks - they cover so many genres that you might by chance start with one you don't like.

If anyone buys Mojo this month (with Zeppelin on the cover) check out the free CD. Like a blues greatest hits!

Includes this filthy sounding classic.

starting a stint of night shifts in a few hours... that'll help me a little

Hi everyone. I've only just registered (although I've been reading these forums for a good 3/4 years) as I like threads like this and wanted to get involved.

Just starting listening to these guy who are pretty good IMO

Same with these guys:-

[Badlands]

Check out The Twangs new album 10:20. Brilliant

[Sketchead]

To whoever posted a video of Pond, hell yes.

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Not really only just discovered, but would say re-discoverd on a second go... The House of Love, and Hefner.

[Mardy]

House of Love were a damn good band, could have been really massive. That first album is beautiful. I love Bickers' other great band too, Levitation.

Not really just discovered, but I hadn't known that Hype Williams/Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland released an album (Black is Beautiful) earlier this year. Been really getting into it this week, very very good. Maybe not the heights of the Kelly Price W8 Gain vol II e.p, but still magic.

Discovered these guys through the Roskilde forums. Probably one of my favorite albums of 2012.

[Avalon_Fields]

First Aid Kit

Really hope they are at Glastonbury, The Park would be ideal.

[theampersanddevil]

The Winter Tradition just turned up on one of my playlists. I don't remember adding them, but its really good. Song called Tracoseven.

[Mardy]

Two albums that I'm really enjoying at the moment, with some similarities

North Sea Scrolls - this is a collaboration between Luke Haines (The Auteurs, Black Box Recorder etc etc), Cathal Coughlan (Fatima Mansions, Micrpdisney) and Andrew Mueller.

Underture 1612 - Really ace mixture of sort of electronica with Maxine Peake doing some spoken word stuff about Lancashire folklore over the top

Both really engrossing albums, not stuff that will instantly grab you, and definitely albums, not singles (that's why I've not posted YouTube links).
