Title: "Indie Schmindie"
Description: Current and Recent Indie Songs

Ok.. (thinks) just where to start?
Earlier this week I went to see a singer called Imogen Heap.. Very talented, great voice, seems to be able to play just about any instrument.. Also mildly eccentric in the great British tradition of musical artists..! She does mainly electronic music (had about 6 different keyboards!)
I think that this song is quite well known.. also I think that her music has featured in numerous TV shows. The OC and 6 Feet Under are two that spring to mind. Her film credits include Shrek 2 (the cover of Holding Out for a Hero?!!) and Chronicles of Narnia..
Anyway, it's quite an unusual song.. this is a live performance.. I love the vocoder stuff... :D

Here's one for SG, if he checks out the thread some time:
Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire (on Jools Holland)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42g4T_tZPTAAnd one for Alli, as we once talked about Australian bands:
Low Happening - Howling Bells (another 'live' performance)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GyDNZHqivgReminiscent of the Throwing Muses (or perhaps Belly?) if anyone remembers them.. :blink:
Here's a studio version of one of their songs (don't think that the Bollywood Dancers work well in the video tho..):
Setting Sun - Howling Bells

Awww thanx, Petalp :hug: Great Song, and as for Imogen Heap, som e of those songs are incredible and really emotional, surprisingly enough I first heard her on the OC, and since then have got a fair bit of her music :ok:

Hi SG! :hug: Yeah, many of her songs are great.. I really enjoyed seeing her 'live', recommend it highly, and would definitely see her again.. I saw her with a friend of mine who is a singer, and she could't believe some of the technical stuff she was doing with laptops, all different types of synths, mixing desk, grand piano, an african echo board (I can't remember the name).. She did some amazing accapello stuff where she recorded her voice in some echo box(?), handclaps for rhythm, all building up to a fully fledged song.. really impressive stuff.. :)

SG, the PATG video is really unusual, isn't it!!
I've heard the Razorlight song on the radio, very catchy..
Which is the one that has the line 'you can have it all if you want to'? that is them, isn't it? Memory's gone blank on that one..:shrug:
The Killers remind me of 80s music! I guess the same could be said for a lot of indie music out right now! :lol:

That's the one!! :ok: Just drew a blank on it.. thanks!!
I've just been reading more about the IH song 'Hide and Seek'.. I didn't realise that it was used in quite a big scene in OC, so might be pretty well known... is that right??
Scotsguy - September 2, 2006 11:25 PM (GMT)
This is another song i got from the OC and is one of my faves now
Finley Quaye-Dice (I love this song)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoS_eWtD0gYAlso this is such a good Oasis song

Well her songs have been used twice to fonish a season on the OC
Hide & Seek was used at the end of Season 2 when Trey got shot
Hallelujah (original by Otis Reading, covered also by Jeff Buckley which i think is another awsome song) at the end of series 3 when MArissa dies...

Nice song WB.. and is this from the OC too??
The opening bit reminds me very much of the Eurythmics..
Also reminds me of the electroclash stuff that was also very 80s influenced..
Here's one by one of the supposed 'Electroclash' bands... and quite an unusual video too..
Destroy Everything You Touch - Ladytron
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2XCOptBV1Y ObL!v!0N - September 4, 2006 08:36 PM (GMT)
Not really a fan of this of this song, it's ok, but the video is wicked :ok: :
OK GO! - A Million Wayshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkCfh7ayDms ObL!v!0N - September 4, 2006 08:42 PM (GMT)
The best song ever! :D
The Rifles - Local Boyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG708rDGMOY petalp - September 4, 2006 09:32 PM (GMT)
Enjoyed the video (once it finally loaded up!!)
Actually, speaking of loaded.. I once read that Loaded by Primal Scream was Monica Seles' favourite song back in the early 90s.. monica in indie dance kid shocker!
I have the video recorded on good old-fashioned videotape, but surprisingly it's not on youtube..
:huh:

I'm joining this discussion late, but got to say there's a song that's really grabbed me this year: its called Glorious, by a band called Captain. Their website is www.captaintheband.com/website.htm. Really infectious tune, and the observant amongst you may notice that the opening few seconds was used by the BBC during their Wimbledon coverage when they were rounding up all the matches!
Let me know if anyone else likes this song, and other songs by this band - will probably just be me, as I tend to have a v individual taste of music!!

SB, I heard that session too!! I'm usually a BBC6/ XFM listener, and just happened to tune in to R2 that evening. It was late night, wasn't it, maybe Janice Long? They sounded like a decent bunch of people too..
MrI, thanks for the recommendation! :) I shall check out their website.
Not sure if your tastes in music are so arcane/ esoteric.. there are quite a few rather individualistic choices on this thread, which have been fascinating to check out..

Well the killers are a dodgy lookin' bunch! Quite scruffy and retro looking, as is the sound. Trying to think who they sound like, a bi t70s a bit 80s? :shrug: Coudlnt; listen to that all night though, it is a bit tuneless to me, and I woudl prefer Iron Maiden for the thrashing stuff! :D Or punk.
