Undiscovered Gems


I wanted to see what everyone is listening to as far as B-side music that is undiscovered by the pop media and mainstream commercial distribution.

I recommend:

Shannon Harris presents The New World Reveal-A-Soultion

Damn! - Youth Styles

Fertile Ground - Black Is

All of these are available on Itunes. What are some of your gems your rotate a lot that no one else seems to know about..

Anyway, the album was quite unlike anything I'd ever heard before and I must admit, I'd have given it 10 out of 10 for sheer creativity if nothing else, but like I said there were a few gems on the album, suprisingly!

"The album is interesting because it's got a number of tracks with interludes of instrumental or storytelling. The concept of the album is basically the character mulletboy trying to find and free his girl Julianna who's been captured by an evil Genie. There's a song called 'The King Tut', Mulletboy has to basically learn to do this dance to jump into the Genie's ring to free Julianna lol"

Intelligence are your serious..hahahaha This is too much....hahahahha

I started to accept everyone as a friend to build a network. On occasion you may find some really interesting people. Most of the people I usually already know or we are connected through other friends. But I have to admit I have found some great stuff which is not often..

Thats the problem with digital technology. Everybody think they are a musician and band.. So you have to dig through tons of trash to find quality.

She sent me an event invite and I went to her page. I clicked a song and it started off simple. Then she started playing some melodies and harmonies that put me in a trance. I was in a zone until her song went off...lol Scary but great stuff.

Check out her pics too. She is beautiful and spiritual.

i used to buy random CDs without listening to them... I 'discovered' Tom McRae, Mercury Rev, BT and a number of other artists (all signed though) that way... I once bought a CD of a guy in the street too. It's a conceptual album with some good tunes on. He was performing some of his stuff which I quite liked the sound of though I had to run for my train and only got to hear about a minute of it! He calls himself 'The Adventures of Mulletboy' that was a great find... Very interesting...

I dont listen to the radio at all...

Thanks for responding. I find most of my music from digging in record stores (vinyl) or surfing on websites that have music samples of artist. I don't really purchase pop music. I've learned as an collector and DJ a long time ago 20 years + that most of the great works are undiscovered or barely played. Radio music is programmed and agenda oriented.. I like the freedom of controlling my musical diet and taste.

I can play music to anyone for long periods of time and they wont know one song..hahaha They will hear quality though..

So post some B-side artist that are genius. I want to learn.


:)

On some lazy sunday mornings I go through the A-Z listings of artists on itunes and just click on every artist and listen to 30 secs to see if I like or not! I can usually tell within that time too and swiftly move on or listen to a few more tracks by that artiste to see if there's anything worth downloading! I havent really listened to any music through or since Ramzaan...
