Music ain't moving as quick as it used to and as there are a few tunes threads on this forum, there must be some tracks from the start of the century that have made your ears and spine tingle. It's only fair. Music may have lost it's touch but it can't have lost all of it's magic.
You know what to do.

Nice Turtle, but I'm slightly confused by yer parameters.
Only stuff made since 2000?
As you say there's some brilliant music being hoisted on here..
From all over the music chronology.... And I've discovered loads of older stuff since the millenium broke too.
What's the criteria mate?
Yer bosting open a brilliantly wide musical drawer.
My favourite post 2000 artist is Lily.
No question.

No question. Bold, that. Never taken to lily in spite of a fondness for female vocalists. Some interesting stuff around if you look for it. Fuck knows what's happening in the mainstream though. Genuinely not a clue beyond the most ubiquitous stuff. |

No question. Because, as I said , music hasn't moved on as much as of previous years but there are still good tracks to like. Your post of Lily Allen says it all. A crap country track that wouldn't be appreciated by people into country music. they may not hate it but it ain't that good. |

Find all sorts of pearls via the web and whatnot. They've installed a jukebox in me local to liven us stiffs up a bit, it's fascinating , the discussion it generates etc. Quite old school, though you can get owt from Tinariwen to Sheila Dobson and Brian May on it. A touch of the Residents about that track. |

The fascination for me is that we're in a time musically where the possibilities of mix n matching from the best of the past to create fresh stuff is limitless. I think music is as healthy/interesting as it's ever been, and with the increased access to 'old' stuff even healthier. Melding Stevie Nicks with hypnotic minimal techno. The Unknown Artist.  |

Yeah, the advent of Spotify and that has opened up access to personalised listening as well as the opportunity to really go down near enough any rabbit hole that takes your fancy. I'm certain there must be some sort of radio 1 thing where da kidz have their tastes prescribed to em. My brood seem to get stuff from school that they can pick up again on YouTube. Everything I've seen self-released on YouTube with any significant viewing is dross though. Odd bits of things on there and SoundCloud that are alright. How would they monetise it though? |

If I'd had that as an option growing up I think my head would have exploded. Love Youtube in the background when I'm working for that very reason. Here's a couple of decent tracks found using that method.

Twas a long time ago but I seem to remember the argument was over a girl lost by Mr Murdoch to his rival hence the line " You were laid on your back with the boy from the Arab Strap" Arab Strap were not happy to have their name put to the song but what a song

'The Boy with the Arab Strap' is probably my fave B&S tune, possibly because of it's bitter undercurrent. I enjoy them in bite sized chunks, over an album I find them a bit cloying and frustrating. A bit too fey for my taste. One of the reasons U've never bothered about seeing them live. {Though on youtube it looks like they are ballsier live.} They brought a bit of literacy to the indie table. They have an interesting knack of using familiar tunes/riffs and concocting a soul/indie hybrid. {They remind me of Orange Juice}. But whether it's his voice or not, it doesn't always work for me. I love 'If She Wants Me' and this... Arab Strap were brilliant, great live too. Always thought the mighty Mogwai were the most interesting proposition of that particular wave of Caledonian Rock Action. |

Lily Allen can't do any wrong by me.
I was trying to keep it civil felonious, just seeking clarification re: what to post. But couldn't believe Turtlefox dissing Miss Allen. She's revolutionised pop in my book. Sassy and cynical. Possibly the finest in ironic manufactured pop.... props.  |

For a band who have refused to be "Londonised" the LCO were the perfect fit.
Out of interest which albums have you listened to?
PS "This" isn't showing up.

I got hold of the early 7" and cds, interested in what they were doing, but not completely bowled over. They were doing something a bit different for the time, if reminiscent of that 80's literary indiepop, Lloyd Cole, Josef K Postcard and such {not a bad thing}. I bought the 'Arab Strap' album, and was really impressed with it. A good sound. Just enough. A mate burned me 'Tigermilk', 'Fold Your Arms', and a compilation of oddities, sessions etc including a Maida Vale session of them doing xmas songs. But as I say, pleasant enough but none of it since has really grabbed me. I always feel in danger of being twee'd to death. The faux Vintage Northern Soul feel of 'Legal Man' was 'this'. Wished they'd do a few more like this. On the very northern modern rock scene, I liked these a lot. The Delgados |
