Cultural Recommendation of music for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of my Playlist

edited May 2008 in Social Entropy++
So I need some new music to listen to, and I'm sure we're all in the same boat, so give me (and everyone else) some music ideas.

I know, I could probably use last.fm or some other method, but it seems to lack the human element of experience... plus you guys here all seem to have such good taste in music anyway (looking at you Koshian).

I've been into a bit an electro phase recently. On my playlist recently:

The Presets
The Faint
DJ Shadow

Anyone got any recommendations for similar artists?

Failing that, just fire off as many post-rock artists as you care to mention. ie: stuff similar to Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You! Black Emperor etc etc

Also I'm up for any electro/hip-hop stuff (like DJ Shadow).

Or alternatively if you have nothing to offer, ask and ye shall (possibly) receive.

    Holy damn last.fm has resulted in me buying so many albums. It really is one of the best things for discovering music.

    Also maybe give God is an Astronaut a listen. They have full tracks on last.fm so just give it a go buddy.

    How about Ratatat? Instrumental electronic/rock/indie/dance/something. Just listen to it.

    Hey yeah I've actually got one Ratatat album, and it's pretty fucking sweet. Thanks for reminding me - I'll look into getting some more.

    Not really. What term would you use instead? I guess progressive rock would do. Or experimental. But post is usually a mix between the two.

    You want dumb? Hurr

    Oh, and thanks for the recommend j3p - am listening now - like what I hear so far.

    Will post-hardcore do? Enter Shikari and Chiodos are pretty good.

    e: And Borat references suck. Seriously, I heard enough of them at school.

    I've heard those names but never listened. Listening to Enter Shikari and Chiodos now, but am going to bed soon, so I will report my findings tomorrow morning. Am liking the use of synths and prominent, bassy beats so far.

    I expect this place to be crammed full of more rad suggestions by tomorrow.

    e: oh well, dunno what to tell ya regarding the title.

    Blah blah blah thanks for the awesome recommendations. I know how the argument goes, heard it millions of times before.

    As soon as you said you were going to bed I figured that.

    When I get back home I'll open up my playlist and send some stuff your way.

    Also, looks like last.fm is filtered here at work so I can only use it for about 60 minutes in total... better make the best of it.

    Thanks bent, will check those duders out as soon as I finish filing (deleting) all these new items in my Outlook inbox.

    I've been into Dispatch and State Radio recently. And I'm excited to see State Radio in concert on Friday, even if they are opening for Dave Mattews Band.
