dee jay

I’m stirring up my Thanksgiving party music. I’m looking for ambient, contemporary funk, outrageous rock, acid jazz, alternative hardcore rock, hardcore rock, stunning classical music I’ve never heard before.

I’m taking recommendations! Click on the comments link below.

    Hmm…

    I’m partial to Manson(suggested CD: “Holywood”) and Disturbed (suggested CD: “The Sickness”). One of my favorite bands is Bad Religion – (suggested CD: “Stranger than Fiction”).

    If you like a bit of a techno flavor with your hardcore, I suggest KMFDM (suggested CD: “MDFMK”). I also like The Crystal Method (suggested CD: “Vegas”).

    Other suggestions:
    Oingo Boingo “Dead Man’s Party”
    Concrete Blonde “Bloodletting”

    outrageous: Avenue D (avenued.com), The Darkness (www.thedarknessrock.com, they’re trying to bring back 80’s hair rock), Alabama Thunder Pussy, Butt Trumpet, Betty Blowtorch
    hardcore: Bleeding through, Walls of Jericho, Watch Them Die, Sick of it All, Life of Agony, the Mad Capsule Markets (japanese digi-punk hardcore)
    ambient: Autechre, Biosphere, Coil, Final, Recoil (especially their stuff with Nicole Blackman)
    acid: Wayne Krantz, recent King Crimson

    also worth mentioning: Puffy Amiyumi (J-pop), Wang Fei (HK-pop), covenant (swedish electro. like depeche mode, but better and a little darker), Asylum Street Spankers (acoustic blues / bluegrass / jazz / country and absolutely hilarious)

    Classical I can help with. Check out Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli–I recommend the Tallis Scholars recording (also has Allegri’s Miserere on the disc). Also worth owning are Rachmaninoff’s Vespers; I’ve only ever heard the John Rutter Singers’ recording, but I’m sure there are other great ones as well.

    And if you don’t have it already, check out the Red Snapper album Our Aim Is To Satisfy Red Snapper.

    Just my two cents…

    Acid jazz? Some of these might be interesting to you, check them out:

    * Mediski, Martin, & Wood, Friday Afternoon in the Universe is groovy.
    * Tim Hagans, Animation/Imagination. Might be a little high-energy for what you’re looking for.
    * Joshua Redman, Elastic. HIGHLY recommended.

  5. anders says:

    correction and addition: i was thinking of ‘Nashville Pussy’, not ‘Alabama Thunder Pussy’ (who are also good). don’t know how i’d ever get those two band names confused…

    also: Madredeus (portugese folk/opera /flamenco), and Gåte (norwegian folk/alternative rock)

  6. Beau says:

    If you are looking for some great, electronic-ish ambient, try the Pop Ambient series on Kompakt. Each disc features ambient gems from both prominent and emerging electronic artists. I would recommend the 2002 and 2003 editions; you can pick them up at http://www.forcedexposure.com.

    I think most of my suggestions would run toward contemporary folk, but that’s not really on the list, so I’ll toss out some of the collaborations that Edgar Meyer has done.

    Heeeeeere’s Amazon

    I have Uncommon Ritual, which I highly recommend, but he’s done other stuff with Bela Fleck, Yoyo Ma, Mark O’Connor and so on.

    WTH – I’ll toss a plug in for Great Big Sea and Seven Nations, if you’re into Celtic-tinged rock. Ashley MacIsaac, too.

  9. I would think Patti Smith’s “the Night Belongs to Lovers” would be a must for such a feast. Sample lyrics:

    Love is a banquet from which we feed
    Desire is a hunger from which we need
    Energy now, Energy now

    Joan Arnatrading:
    Show some emotion 1977
    drop the pilot 1983
    back to the night 1975
    the weakness in me 1981

    and of course at least several DIXIE CHICKS

    Moonlight in Vermont, Ella fitzgerald
    Stormy Weather, Lena Horne
    The nearness of You, Sarah vaughan
    Crawlin black spider, John Lee hooker
    Sittin On top of the world, ray charles
    On the road again, canned heat
    boom boom, john lee hooker

    imho

    Aphex Twin: I care because you do

    Jurassic 5: Quality Control

    Velvet Underground: Velvet Underground and Nico (remixed last year by Polydor)

    Dave Brubeck: Take Five

    Michael Hallas is an interesting listen; http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/halaas: especially with Joan Jeanrenaud [Kronos] on cello.

    There is no question that we all can get along but not without our share of difficulties along the way. It would be better if graphic designers would learn the language but this isn’t often a job expectation and their salary certainly does not reflect the additional skillset. Programmers that I have had the experience to work with do not have the polished CSS skills necessary to take over what the designer intended from a PSD. CSS does require a great deal of time and experience and raw memorization to get a feel for all that you can do with it. So, who is the middle man in all of this? That’s the CSS consultant they hire in desperation nine months into the project to clean up the mess.
