Playlouder - Music is the Network

Morning, i'm on the look out for some new acoustic folky music to listen to love Dylan and neil young but feel i need to update my collection any ideas??

i think folkcast is sometimes awesome and sometimes embarrassing - but always has some good music new or old

what happens if you look for music tagged folk on playlouder?

just tagged the url

added the folk tag too

Hmm... if you like stuff in a moldy-peaches-ish NY antifolk vein, Jeffrey Lewis is very good. A couple of albums attached to the right - have a listen! I particularly reccomend a track called 'Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror' on 'City and Eastern Songs'

folkcast is quite english

in fact, Will Oldham / Palace / Bonnie Prince Billy is also good for US stuff, but you may already know that. He's been around a while too.

currently broadcasting my itunes 'folk' search on http://icecast.playlouder.com:8000/paul.sanders.m3u

tell me if it cracks up - -it's at 192

A couple of great US female folk artists are Josephine Foster and Marissa Nadler

To this moment, I will never understand the depth of folky-wolky music. Pussified hippies with guitars singing about what it's like to look at clouds from both sides makes me want to to place a nickel-plated revolver to my temple. And nowadays it's emo kids (with shorter hair and fewer chords) pretty much pulling off the same dreak in clique coffee cafes singing on and on about what it's like to have everything you could possibly want and still whine like a little bitch as a result.

it wasn't pussified at the time it appeared, now it sounds slow.

ever heard of Bob Dylan, Kirsty?

little bobby folk

that's what i call him

Kristy has an Emo obsession. First Emo was ripping off The Smiths, then folk. My God, they're everywhere......under my bed, in my wardrobe.....oh God oh God!! Get over it. Do you just enjoy playing devil's advocate or do you truly hate everything ever?

presumably you could write a folk song about emo

emo emo you're so fine

For emo folk look no further than Dashboard Confessional and/or Owen. Well, the latter more. The former has an acoustic guitar at least: I think he's a protest singer?

Dylan wised his sorry ass up and picked up a Strat. As for the emo populace, you limeys should rest easy for they are the ones killing off what's left of music more than your "prog rock" could ever hope for.

Tell us something you DO like Kristy. Chips? Badgers? Bursting bubble wrap? Anything.

Tell us something you do like - which is of course the title of an MJ Hibbett song. He's kind of folk: "Here come a herd of haircuts / From the Corporate Indie scene / Sheathed in black and leather jackets / And they sound like Primal Scream!" http://www.myspace.com/mjhibbett

Getting back to folk reccomendations rather than feeding med-skippin' trolls, I saw Lucky Luke at ATP this weekend. They were a bit on the hey-nonny-nonny side but would probably appeal if you're into the fairport convention end of things

Also, check out my friend's band 'The Epstein', who I went to see last night. Nice alt-country-ish pop without too much misery, loads of slide guitar and banjo and some great Link Wray-ish surf guitar solos

The Apple Tree pub in Clerkenwell has excellent Folky bands playing on sunday afternoons if you're a londoner , too

that reminds me, one of my friends runs a club up London way called Night of the Long Swords. Googling that exact phrase will lead you to their myspazz. It's a full on kraut-psych-folk freakout and Thogdin has the absolute bestest sideburns ever.

hahaha, their facebook page has this to say: "WE DO NOT PLAY Abba, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, electropop, dance, or other such guff" Sounds like my kind of place....

A folk band that plays link Wray surf riffs can't be a folk band at all. As for what I like what do you self-centered limeys care? I'm not falling for that trap of your arrogance again. And Richtard, suck my cock.

On the side, I do not have an "emo obsession" I just don't understand how emo kids at gigs complain when the door bouncer doesn't let them bring their iPod inside because the band went paid money for, drove to see, and stood in line to watch play "doesn't sound as good live as does their mp3". And speaking of self-centerness, there is only so much I can take of some douchebag with a shit haircut, and out-of-tune (acoustic) guitar wailing on and on about how his emo brethren

...can't bring their iPods into a gig.
