    I've been out of the loop the past 12 months.

    Last album I really got into was 'Tribes' debut in February 2012 and The Vaccines most recent effort.

    Just grabbed myself a copy of Little Green Cars debut

    Any suggestions gratefully welcomed :)

    Discovered this album recently: 'Africa' by Amanaz.
    Never heard of these guys but considering they're Zambian and was released in 1975 in limited numbers that's not surprising.

    I've no idea what was being put out in Zambia in 1975 but I'm pretty sure this must have been unique. A strange mix of folk, African, and Jimi Hendrix psychedelic rock, Radiohead! that just works. Well worth a listen.

    Here's a track from an album I stumbled upon last weekend that I thought might be worth a listen...

    The Group: Cheyenne Marie Mize
    The Track: Among The Grey
    The Album: Among the Grey (ditto)
    The Sound: “tough, dreamy, cloudy-sky country and chamber pop” (New York Times via Wikipedia)

    Good anyone advise me on any bands today who play indie music like these bands, i think the saying for it is Jangle indie(probably wrong on that).

    The Smiths
    R.E.M(there 80's stuff)
    Go -Betweens
    The Sundays
    House of Love
    teenage fanclub

    any bands today you could suggest that plays this type of indie rock

    If you like jangle indie you'll like bye fear / hi love by Neuman.
    It's a band from Murcia who has teamed up with Ken Stringfellow of the Posies.

    You can't go wrong with any of the 1st three NC&BS albums (his best IMO). At a push tho go for 'Kicking Against The Pricks'.

    Henry's Dream or No More Shall We Part. Based on what you've been listening to.

    I found this band when I was on 8tracks - their song "Caught Time" came on - really chill, and I dug it. I downloaded their EP, (which was FREE) and it wasn't half bad - definitely worth a listen to see where these guys go. My favourite song is "Tonight."

    Hi,
    Recommend some good live albums please?

    I was listening to Violent Femmes Add It Up (81-93) las night and love the extra energy and dimension that songs live and crowd adds to it.

    (I see that Nick Cave has a live album coming out soon, will check it out.)
    Cheers,

    In general live albums don't do it for me but I Might Be Wrong by Radiohead is excellent and 1969 Live by The Velvet Underground is also wonderful.

    Nirvana 'Unplugged in New York' is my favourite live album, I think it's the almost somber overtone of the performance that does it for me! There's definitely extra energy it's just conveyed in a subtle manner which I really enjoy.

    Any artists in particular?

    The Cure - Paris is a personal favourite of mine. There's quite a lot of stuff taken from the Seventeen Seconds/Faith/Pornography era which makes it something special. The album also ends with my favourite version of Close To Me.

    Re: Live albums... these are mostly ones I've been playing lately.

    The Fall - The Legendary Chaos Tape
    Loads of Fall live albums out there but I always enjoyed this one. It was recorded between Slates and Hex... two of their best releases.
    It's sloppy at times and the sound quality isn't the best but that's part of the charm... it's got kazoos too.

    Built to Spill – Live
    I’ve only heard one track from this, their 25 minute version of Cortez the Killer. It’s worth checking out for that. It’s Built to Spill so the rest of it is probably great too.

    Dirty 3 - Live at Meredith!
    Always thought these guys had something live that many of their studio records failed to capture. So I like listening to this.

    Bill Callahan - Rough Travel for a Rare Thing
    Great setlist - lots of songs from A River Ain't Too Much to Love and you know, it's Bill Callahan...

    For post-rock stuff like Godspeed and Mogwai you could check out Explosions in the Sky, Tortoise and Yndi Halda (if you haven't already).

    For stuff like MBV you could check out Swirlies, Lilys, Ride, Asobi Seksu and Drop Nineteens.

    Try these:

    Ride (1st and 2nd albums only)
    Slowdive (everything)
    Mono (everything)
    Cocteau Twins (everything except 1st album)

    Swans (mid to late period only)

    I was reading a thread somewhere else on boards where the OP mentioned that since he had gotten an iPod, he stopped buying new music and fell behind with the times. It really struck a chord with me and it's something I've noticed myself recently. My iPod is full of the stuff that was popular 10 years ago when I was a teenager- The Killers, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Damian Rice etc :o The most recent album I have is the Kodaline one, everything else is pre 2010 (most are pretty 2005 haha :D) When I look at the indie charts now I have no idea who most of the artists are :o I don't mind spending the money on some newer music but I have no idea where to begin! Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated :D

    Edit: Ooopsie I just realised there is already a sticky thread for asking for recommendations :o Mods feel free to move my post if needs be :D

    Alt-J are a must listen to band. Start with An Awesome Wave (1st album) and venture into the new album when you find your getting bored which shouldn't happen for quite some time.
