Why?
The corporate world that controls music today would rather promote bands that create short songs loaded with hooks but with little actual texture, and that require little from the audience.
I'd like to see more bands listed that demand more from the listening public.
Originally posted by badmoonListing Coltrane, Miles, Parker, Monk and other jazz classics will hardly be of any use, except maybe get you some patting in the back for how good your taste is. Everybody knows them, everybody knows they were good (even if they don't like them).

In contemporary music, however, it's in electronic music that I find the most experimental and thought provoking tracks so I tend to put out things that are not that well known and might struck a chord with someone here and there. That's why I try to link it as often as possible, so that people can see for themselves if they like or not and maybe discover new artists that they like.
Originally posted by PalynkaI'm always open to new music that is interesting and at least somewhat demanding.

I'll check out a couple of the links that you provide.

Lemon Jelly!!!!! The coolest thing on Earth (excluding my fridge).
John you've been on the go ever since you were born and I
imagine few people in the world today have travelled as much
as you have. Now why?
Well I dunno.
I suppose some of us are cave dwellers, some of us live in houses, some of us like to be loose footed.
I'm a ramblin' man.
Originally posted by badmoonThanks, that's the spirit I guess, even if you end up not liking what I've linked. There's a world of possibilities out there, why not explore them a bit, every now and then?

Originally posted by wormwoodBoC is great, but I wouldn't say cooler. I'd say they lack the humour touch that LJ has in order to beat my fridge. 😉
