@Stuart.T:

@gaseousclay I couldn't agree more. Back in 1997 when hip hop started to stagnate under this influences of Sean Puffy Combs at al, Company Flow blew the doors off for the indie hip hop resurgence. Everything he does is gold, and despite the major success of RTJ he keeps his creative integrity intact. What a guy.

I'm sure i've got one of the Company Flow cd's laying around, and yes, El-P definitely contributed a lot to the indie scene. This guy should be doing soundtracks  I was really bummed when Def Jux folded, as there were so many great artists on the label.

This thread is on fire, thanks everyone for posting!

Come along a place, my parents allowed me to go when I was under 18, a few days ago (Still wondering about there confidence).
Just realized that this music hall Zeche is still alive.
Seeing several British, American and German independent music groups of the 80's there.
Big names I can remember: Pogues, Toy Dolls, Billy Brag, Anne Clark, New Model Army, Sisters of Mercy, King Kurt and so much more…..

But this place was also Punk, Reggae, Skaterock and Electonic!

After reading this 'The Guardian' article, some music I heard at this time, is only a footnote in musical history .
Don't think about it and keep posting!

Following music is inspired from this post, linguistically (in my pronunciation) is not so far away .

@neph93:

Everyone loves a bit of Terre’s Arse.

NMA and SOM are two of my all time favourite bands from my teens and still are now.

@Stuart.T Thank you for posting that video. While I have zero appreciation,or knowledge of that genre of music,I found it to be incredibly compelling. Wish a lot of people would see that video,your description being very accurate.

[den1mhead]

@Stuart.T you highlight in this video the power of deep empathy, one person putting themselves deeply in the lives of another. [emoji120]

Haven't been following this thread: any love for Dean Brady?

[Crit_Obs]

…and for something a bit different, our local lads, the best band to ever come out of the land of Finland:

That shall be my contribution for now, gonna check this thread for a bit for you guys’ favored flavors.

[Jett129]

As the years go by I can’t help but think these guys were one of the best American bands ever.

^ iconic stuff

The first MC5 records and first Stooges Lp’s are longtime personal favourites.

[Jett129]

I’m with you on that. Saw the Stooges open for the MC5 twice. Talk about epic shows.

[Stuart.T]

Just tracked down a copy of this classic from the 90s

[gaseousclay]

One of my faves from the early 90's. Saw Grotus open for Mr Bungle back in the day, sadly, they're no longer around and called it quits after only a couple of albums. Really wished somebody would reissue this album cuz it's amazing, but probably not everyone's cuppa tea.

I love the music of all three of these folks.  This performance is absolutely stunning IMO…

[Stuart.T]

@emceeQ I'm so gutted their ep isn't available on CD. Lucy Dacus, Pheobe Bridges, and Julien Baker have released standout albums this past year. Seeing Julien Baker live in London a couple of months ago was astounding. If you get chance, see her. I was in bits!

[emceeQ]

@Stuart.T I was lucky enough to see here after the release of Sprained Ankle.  She definitely had me in tears.  Her music always cuts to the bone…

Been rocking out to Culture Abuse today...

[Stuart.T]

@emceeQ I like that. It has touches of Teenage Fanclub, so that is no bad thing!
