Yeah, I can see you don't like his voice. It's not what I prefer in 16 HP, anyhow. I love the way their music has a layered texture, with multiple instruments creating an upbeat, vivacious rhythm.

By the way, Arthur, which bands would you say can best be compared to 16 HP? I remember looking for similar music a few years ago, but not being able to find it. I'd love recommendations.

[Pretentious Hipster]

I'm not that well-versed in gothic country but here's a few that I know.

After 16 Horsepower split the vocalist made another band called Wovenhand. Weird fact: They opened for Tool once.

There's also Jay Munly who looks like a skeleton o.o

I remember finding a random release of some really obscure guy, and I think the album is for free. It's a reconstruction of gothic country though. The Mountain Apple Epidemic

[Gershwin]

Thanks! I already knew Wovenhand, but I'll check out the other two.

Just set-up my last.fm account and scrobbling with spotify. No plays yet it says, so I guess it doesnt import spotify history.

Yes, I added you.

[afirm]

haha yeah, I'm a country buff. Seriously, NOBODY likes country music here. I'm starting to believe there is an active anti-country-music-movement.
You say the word country and people flee in bulk :-P

In Norway I feel country is actually getting more popular these days. Even though they hardly play anything on the radio.

Your compatibility with me is still super. Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Garth Brooks, it's all great!

Low is still too high. It should be very low, or even lower than that if there's anything.

Reminds me of work today. While I was in the pasta station covering a break the guy that I was covering decided to make his lunch with the 3rd stove. That stove is never used because it makes a really loud magnetic noise when being used. When it started one person ended up almost running away from it and most people were complaining and I'm just like GLORIOUS NOISE

[Rich]

I got medium with Arthur!

But I own 2 Hijokaidan CDs and Gorguts' Obscura on vinyl

Spotify just started a couple of weeks ago to work in Greece so I tried it. Great stuff! So I decided to use last.fm as well. Why wasn't I using it all this time? Great recommendations! I'm jealous now that you guys have been using it for so long and have scrobbled so many songs...

[mightysparks]

I don't find Spotify useful for much except listening to albums without downloading them, but Lastfm is great. I've found so many new artists and songs because of that. And scrobbling gives you all kinds of awesome stats

You'd think 9 years of scrobbling is awesome but it reveals the taste I had when I was a teen which involved a lot of JPop and Alizeé

That was when I got into the 60s I would love to have scrobbles from back then. I didn't really listen to music before that time, just the occasional song, so it would've been like having my whole listening history.

Also yay most recently listened to is Boris and Merzbow.

[mightysparks]

I played that hose 'song' from Merzbow for my mum when you first shared it with us and she said she'd hit me if I ever made her listen to that again. She also wasn't happy about My Pal Foot Foot - and I sent that to my brother a while ago and he sent back 'wtf was that'

There's a video of Merzbow playing live in a park and everyone is covering their ears

The thing about The Shaggs is that it is awful music, but somehow at the same time it's like they almost created no wave music. It seems like even most experimental music fans hate them though.

I don't really like Merzbow, but boy, together with Boris it just sounds like they were meant to make music together!

[mightysparks]

My top 2 have been the same for 5 years until I just noticed #2 has been overtaken:



Damn Magnetic Fields for having a million songs that I can relate to and can't stop listening to right now.

[Pretentious Hipster]

Yea Death Grips recently beat Rome for me which was my #2 for ages. There's no way any artist will beat Kate Bush though. Lil B has tons but that's only because he releases like 3 albums a week. Grimes being 5th is surprising because it's mostly just Halfaxa. I did blast Visions for a bit but the more I think about it the less I like it. Too inspired by that cutesy k-pop bullshit which I REALLY don't get why quite a few, especially experimental music fans like.

Nice to see someone else with a huge disparity between top artists and everything else. I always get jealous of those who seem able to listen to equal doses of practically everything. Makes for a nicer graph.
