Hidden Gems

[Bunny]

While we are all waiting patiently () for the announcement, thought we could play a little game of hidden gems.

Basically album tracks, or tracks from lesser known artists which you would recommend your fellow e-festivallers to have listen to or download.....

I'm going to say :

Letter From Man to God - Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobious Pip, from the album Angles - lyrically genius with an nice touch of drum n bass to top it off!

Here Comes The Breeze - Gomez, from Bring It On - one of my all time favourite tracks, just superb!!!

[Cassius It's Over]

ooo nice thread!!

I'll contribute by recommending a couple of lesser known bands and a track...

The Thirst - Ready To Move

Little Thief - Average Friday Night

Cats and Cats and Cats - Lolas Theme

oo oo and

Pull In Emergency - Follow

Also check out a band called 'Our Fold'...they're amazing

Little Joy "Little Joy" album

yourcodenameismilo: "Furniture" Track

Fake Blood "Mars" track

Shy June "Voice of Reason" track

[The Skinny Twins "Underground Heroes" track

[Jonny!]

I'm very much a fan of "Holiday" off The Kink's Muswell Hillbillies album. But they're not really lesser known!

Long Long Long by The Beatles from the White Album.. i know its hard to call any Beatles track a hidden gem but i think it is!

Sometime Always by the Jesus and Mary Chain

finally.. Blue Song by Mint Royale

[Animaal]

Any song by The Parlor Mob, but personal favourite is When I Was An Orphan. The album is called And You Were A Crow.

Another album, Smoking Gun by Lady of the Sunshine, some great summer songs in there!

ill keep it v related,

the killers - glamorous indie rock n roll

the streets - on the flip of a coin

the enemy - its not ok

[Flaminglippy]

''Skylon!'' by Gruff Rhys on the Candylion album...15 minutes of absolute genius...possibly the best thing he's ever done...(and I say that as a massive Super Furrys fan.) It tells the story of a bomb disposal expert who's on a plane thats hijacked.

The first line is 'The gangway gave us shelter from birdshit and the rain''...although the best line has to be 'Skylon, Skylon way up high, cutting all the wires as the people start to cry'...how can you not love it!?!?!

If you haven't heard it download it now!

[Animaal]

Great, great song...(all the better for it describing the after effects of my love life)

See, if Nick Cave was announced for V it would be great.

Also, check out 'Call Upon The Author' from his latest album...superb stuff!

Sonic Youths cover of Dylans basement tape song "i'm not there"

genius!

[indie-rocknroll]

Tame Impala, Glass half full, very good band (I think from Australia)

Anything by Nouvelle Vague, a parisian band that do sunny days parisian style covers of punk songs, lovely for BBQ's !!

All the Old Northern Soul tracks the Night by Frankie vali and the 4 seasons, Doubie Grey etc...

Catherine wheel, you insensitive f**k, stunning for such rude lyrics

Vapour Trail, Ride, not exactly hidden all though they tried their hardest, one of the most stunning shoe gazing songs of all time.
