Albums You're Digging II

^^Haha, I said maybe more exciting. I absolutely love no wave New York, but recently I'm into exploring San Francisco scene and it surprises me with high quality with every band I hear for the first time. I basically listened to The Residents and Tuxedomoon the most and then Chrome and MX-80 Sound. Oh, and there was Monte Cazazza too. Two 'bands' I heard recently, that I never knew existed before, are Factrix and now Minimal Man. Both are fantastic. And there's more I haven't checked yet. So it's a pretty strong competition to no wave New York. It just needs some official compilation to save those bands from oblivion, like a certain other compilation did for those New York bands.

Haha No New York is probably my favorite compilation album. There might be something from San Francisco at the same time that just never got popular for whatever reason. You've piqued my interest so now I'm off to hunt the all knowing internet

There's Subterranean Modern, but it only compiled The Residents, Tuxedomoon, Chrome and MX-80 Sound. Oh yeah there's one more compilation also from Ralph Rec that has Snakefinger and Renaldo and the Loaf on it, two more great acts. But, I was thinking of some new, more extensive compilation that would focus on lesser known bands.

Found. Red Spot compilation with Fried Abortions, Minimal Man, The Wounds, Animal Things, Eazy Teeth, Research Labratories, Arsenal, and Micon it looks like. According to Terminal Boredom, which I find to be a fantastic resource for finding new music, this is pretty much exactly what you were talking about... San Francisco's version of No New York. The article goes way in depth about the whole scene too, you should definitely check it out: Terminal Boredom

I haven't found it yet, but I'll shoot you a link if I do. Please do the same for me, I guess this is something I should check out as The Wounds and Flipper are there with The Screamers. And I didn't even know that's where The Residents came from.

That's great, I'll definitely search for that. I have one unofficial compilation that some blogger did with lots of these bands. I'll send you that one if you want, before we find the official one.

Caroliner Rainbow is also from San Francisco....and in my opinion are the amounst the best thing that city has ever produced

Spoiler for singing cows are the best:

dankrsta · 10-28-2010, 06:05 PM

Yeah, Caroliner Rainbow! I'm now convinced the weirdest music comes from San Francisco.

music_phantom13 · 10-28-2010, 06:15 PM

But on the albums you're digging topic...

Alkaline Trio - Goddamnit

A blast from the past, this one takes me back to middle school. That was a long time ago (relatively speaking). Lots of memories... Haven't listened in a while.

Jonny Trunk - The Inside Outside

This guy owns a record label that reissues old obscure albums, didn't really like much of the stuff on it but this album thathe made himself from old samples is the ****.

Oh 1990, how I miss thee.

Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual

sidewinder · 10-29-2010, 12:26 PM

More 1990 gold!

Megadeth - Rust in Peace
