    ummmm... music "in the radio" and "on the TV" is usually rather uninspiring, to say the least. as a music-lover one must branch out beyond "old media" for a fix.
    the internets? streaming "radio?"

    Two other good albums, if you like indie music:

    "Source Tags & Codes" - ..And You Will Know Us by The Trail of the Dead
    "Silent Alarm" - Bloc Party

    HA! Funny stuff, man. That's the guy from the SONIC commercials with the wife... :D Thanks.

    Gotcha, the futants. Will try that, percicles. What bands did you see in Austin, finalsbound?

    So... for the record... "obscure" in this thread means music not playing on the radio, TV, or advertised in the local newspaper, yes? MaN! I NeEd To GeT OuT MoRe! :mad:

    SwoLy, bands play in Austin every night of the week. This is like asking Macbeth to name all of the pornstars he's shagged.

    Wow, that's a lot of pop rock.

    I don't know about "obscure", but here goes:

    Salif Keita - "Yamore" or "Madan" (safe to say the best song ever)
    Savina Yannatou - "Muniera" or anything else
    Big Bill Broonzy - "How Do You Want It Done?" or anything else
    The Shangri Las - "Right Now and Not Later" or anything else (there's only like 27 songs)
    The Ohsees - The Cool Death of Island Raiders
    The Weird Weeds - Hold Me
    X-Ray Spex - Germ-Free Adolescents
    Gogol Bordello - anything
    Exuma - "Obdeah Man"
    The Boris + Keiji Haino album (I don't know how I found it...not on AMG)
    Arsis - A Celebration of Guilt (puts Mastodon in their place, at the bottom)
    The Impossible Shapes - Tum
    Vetiver - "I Know No Pardon" (probably my favorite song this year)
    Anything Fela Kuti or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (monstrously popular)
    Mahmoud Ahmed - "Ere Mela Mela"
    Freestyle Fellowship - Inner City Griots
    The Last Poets - s/t
    Orso - My Dreams Are Back and They Are Better Than Ever

    Alot of these bands listed play in Houston as well. Read the Houston music blog:
    http://blogs.chron.com/handstamp/ for a taste of what tours around in Houston.

    Whenever I see something interesting, I just go to Myspace music and pull up the artist's page, and they usually have a few tracks you can listen to for free.

    Cornershop of Tjinder Singh fame? Haven't heard from him in a while. Someone told me he has got lost in the world of drugs. Hope not.

    I meant to ask which ones she has seen there that she has posted on this thread... but your answer is appropriate. :) I don't know who Macbeth is... oh, the horror!

    That's the one. I guess their last album that I know of was probably 3 or 4 years ago. I hope he hasn't gotten totally lost in drugs. I know he was wanting to really get into DJ and dancetronica type music. Then I haven't heard anything in a long time.
