why new music?
Everything is new!
mr. Charles Thompson led me to some great music from the past like Hank Williams, Jimmy Rodgers and Johnny Horton.
All of Johnny Cashs early work is pretty cool, especially the two famous prison recordings (Folsom prison and San Quentin)
But if you really want some new music, try these torrent sites like suprnova.org.
Very often, you can find records that aren't released yet.
Like the new Interpol album, which I believe still isn't released, but I downloaded it three monts ago
I'm bored with the valleys and bored by the peaks. So I bought a ticket to the Pixies |

Di-rect, Anouk?
Are you serious? If these two bands are the best we have in our country we should be ashamed. I mean, they s-u-c-k!!!
So, why didn't you recommend Frans Bauer?

KOK, nothing wrong with listening to Bronski Beat all day, as
far as I'm concerned.
And Gang of Four. God, it was fun back in the 80s to listen to them.
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Frank |

Chickenwithtwoheads, I must admit I felt a little embarrased when I saw your reaction. I must admit that at the moment I run quite behind with all the latest Dutch bands (Belgium as well). Or sometimes I hear something new and then I forget what it was.
You say that Anouk and Di-rect suck, but thatis probably a little too much overdone. I think these two are still the best International Rock acts of the Netherland. Both of them have had their succes in national and international open air events. I definitely like them much more than KANE, which is often reffered as the most succesfull band of the Netherlands I believe, but that`s a matter of taste.
I just named bands that come up as the first in my head that could be introduced to an American.
I`ll try to name some more bands now that are quite O.K as a Dutch band, again I must admit I donot follow it that closely anymore.
I hope you can also add some more names, since you said Anouk and Di-rect suck but you didn`t yet gave any alternative names instead!!
Krezip
Within Temptation
Blof (not that international)
Brainpower, Osdorp Posse, Spookrijders,onderhonden
Urban Dance Squad
Betty Serveert
Intwine (I don`t like them)
Van Katoen
Skik
Kirsten, Nilsson (probably stopped already)
Relax (too much show off to me)
Ceasar
Hallo Venray
Gotcha!
Van Dik Hout, Acda en de Munnik
Ilse de Lange
Doe Maar
The Nits
Golden Earing

I bought franz ferdenand and much to my chagrin I'm not that impressed. I like the music enough but the vocals/lyrics are kind of weak.
They're no Bronski Beat

if you don't have any old Kinks albums, you should buy some.
then put on a pot of tea, make some toast and pretend it's raining outside.

I'm thirty seven. My first album was Sargeant Peppers. My second was the Kinks (can't think of the name of the album). When I look back on it, the Kinks were pretty cutting edge. Borderline alternative?
Any recommendations?

the KINK KRONIKLES is an excellent 2-disc compilation.
ARTHUR, SOMETHING ELSE and VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY are all great albums. but a lot of the best songs from those are on the KINK KRONIKLES.
buy it. you won't be disappointed.

I hate the kinks.
What are you after though KoK? poppy nonsense? dancey happiness? screamy angst? meloncholic guitarynoise? Indie Rock? There's little I've found of recent times that makes my tunny flutter the way many of the important bands do, but some of it is real good to listen to, the ferdinand are throwaway moise, I'm happy to wiggle along to it but when I'm 90 I doubt I'll be discussing them much

I second Manu Chao.
Listening to a bunch of guys called Dusminget at the mo very pleased with. And you can´t have too much Patti Smith.

Tre, you *****know***** I love you, but how can you hate the Kinks?
KOK, sometime's it's good to embrace your musical rut. Are you gonna do better than Bronski? Better than the Smiths? Just put on London Calling and feel the magic all over again. That's my advice, as a fellow old fart 40something.
But what do I know? The only remotely new music I buy is by musicians I've loved since the 80s (Patti Smith, Morrissey).

Are you just hateful toward Ray because he chose Chrissy over you? I was mad at him for a while, too, but then I got over it.

Tre, honey, I'm still here and I am here to say that the Stone Roses did nothing for me. But the Jam. God! I worship them still. I even became a Style Council fan just to be musically near Him.
