Obscure music? I'm well into Nick Drake who was a singer/songwriter that only
released 3 albums and died young. He really deserved to make it big. I'm also
into a lot of experimental stuff, like Coil, Nurse with Wound and Current 93.
I'm a metal head at heart tho <g>

My current "new find" is Sister Soleil...for those of you who have seen the
Stella Soleil video for "Kiss Kiss", this is her band from Chicago...and it's
a bit different from Kiss Kiss. *VERY* excellent...recorded in Peter
Gabriel's studeo, with him doing backups on one song, and one song done with
a guy from Slipknot.

Really? Because that song and video kinda get on my nerves... I wondered
if anyone else had heard of her...

resp:52 :: Patchie, what can you tell me about Current 93? All I know
about them is that they were associated with the reissue of an old album by
English folksinger Shirley Collins.

well, when i tend to watch the video channels, it's on a lot, so perhaps I
am over exposed to it... I like the background sound, the almost synth
strings, but there is something that turns me off about her

(I remember you telling me about the Stella/Sister connection, so I looked
for the discs at the student radio station... and they'd been *PURGED*!
I'm *REALLY* hating this whole purging process, because it's going too far,
too fast. they also dumped the first Goats album, the Majesty Crush album,
and almost eliminated the Holy Cows album.) <shudder>

resp:#57 Current 93 are a very odd beast. I have yet to hear two albums by
them that sound in any way connected. They do stuff ranging from scraping
industrial headache to absolutely beautiful acoustic stuff. If you have ever
heard of Nurse with Wound, one of their members is a long time colloaborator
of David Tibet from C93, which should give you some idea of how "out there"
some of the stuff can be. I would recommend "all the pretty little horses"
and "Nature Unveild". C93 can be quite hard to get hold of though, so I would
recommend getting some stuff from another source before you go out and buy
some. (not that I condone the use of MP3s or anything :)

Carson: I got mine for my birthday, but Kirk got it off of Amazon. I have
also seen it in the local Recordtown. I think that you would probably like
this album. :)

Haven't got volume 2 yet though.

That doesn't sound that exceptionally eclectic.. I've owned music by at
least half of the acts you mention..

I guess my point would be that very few people who really care about
music restrict themselves to one kind (or even just a few..)

Oh, I forgot to mention. Not all of that is on CD, of course. My collection
is partly CD, partly cassette, and partly LP.

Ok, I'm late to this item, but here goes...
re #0: (scott) Check out http://thedent.com/musicians.html -- Adrien
Belew worked with Tori Amos on her new covers album called "Strange Little
Girls."
re #8: (otaking) Cloud City Laputa? Do you mean Laputa: Castle In The
Sky, by Miyazaki? (http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/laputa/)
re #22: (mcnally) Do you know if Yo La Tengo started in Tallahassee, FL?
I thought I heard someone say that once. I actually saw them perform here
a few years ago at the CowHaus, great stuff.
re #43: (orinoco) God Lives Underwater isn't all that unknown. They've
done an assortment of remixes....
re #55: (eeyore) Sister Soleil started up in '98 I believe. I was
fortunate enough to hear her entire album (after finding the song "Red"
on mp3) because a friend of phenix's (Josh, I believe) had a copy of it
that had been released to a radio station in a2 (I don't rmemebe rhow he
got his hands on it)...
re #70: (blaise) Yay for PDQ Bach! I was first exposed to PDQB at
Interlochen. (:
SOmewhere back there, Brighn mentioned The Pogues -- if you like that
stuff, I suggest a little Drop Kick Murphys. (:
Though they're not so unknown anymore, I'm a hardcore Moxy Fruvous fan,
and remember when they were pretty unknown.
