as many of you know, I hate commerical crap. i like to find undiscovered bands and that, my friends, is what i listen to. Unfortunately, 99% of undiscovered bands are undiscovered because the suck. There is that 1% that's awesome tho.

 

Here they are: Great Vocalists for that rock n roll stuff.

there's a bunch of clips on youtube of the new "it" bands play sxsw right now. i'm sorta wading thru them.

 

some of the singles are OK, but i can't listen to a full album of them. the above 3 songs, while singles, belong to bands whose albums are certified awesome by me. the full album is awesome, except for their slow songs which suck by nature of being a slow lovey-dovey song.

ahhh, it is very hard to find good bands, yessir.

 

one must become a bit of a stalker. Soundtracks for tv series - gossip girl, shameless and californication always have good tunes (generally). you have to make out the lyrics, then google the lyrics to find the song and artist. then only about 1/10 of those artists actually have good albums though as opposed to singles. it's painful to watch 45 minutes of gossip girl, but you fast forward it in 30 second clips, and you get it done in 4-5 minutes, unless there's a good song, then the search begins to find the artist!

 

if one finds one good band, then you check their facebook to see who else they tour with. good bands are often like hot girls - they hang out with one another, and they don't hang out with the ugly/bad bands.

 

yes, finding good bands is like an art unto itself.

taddy porter is solid!!!! they grow on you. Their album is a more solid album than the Northern Lights album, which only has 4-5 good songs. I enjoy 8 songs of the taddy porter album. Youtube them for their other songs.

 

the best tyler & northern lights songs are Pardon Me, and Devils Basement, in addition to the above one

 

the best Taddy Porter songs are What Gets You High, Whatever Haunts You, and Big Enough (this is probably their best).

yeah, she's talented with a helluva voice - i like Treat Me Right - but I can't really get into female-fronted bands too much. Although those husky females like Lucinda Williams new one Buttercup, and some of Cat Powers (Sinatra cover of New York) are decent.
