^^^

and ^^. this is a really really vague category that many artists would fit in. its almost as vague as general indie

peter bjorn and john (poppy folk)
songs:ohia/magnolia electric co
iron and wine
sufjan stevens
whiskeytown
devendra banhart
m. ward
bonnie "prince" billy
nick drake
lucinda williams
a lot of people dig ray lamontagne or whatever (or so i hear)

if you want to go really really broad you could almost throw in animal collective (like, freaky freaky folk)

i dunno what i'm lookin for, but i figured the collective tastes of tww would come through.

decemberists would be too mainstream at this point, maybe.

i'm trying to see if i can get into it.

Elliott Smith, Scott Liss, Hayden, Patrick Wolf, Alexi Murdoch, Bright Eyes, CocoRosie, Maggie Simpson, Plunkett, Matt Costa, Motel Motel, The Mountain Goats, Beirut (band) ...

7/10/2008 12:47:06 AM

wow, never heard patrick wolf being considered folk

that's pretty far off!

7/10/2008 12:54:46 AM

folk music ?

isn't that for hicks ?


[Edited on July 10, 2008 at 1:38 AM. Reason : not callin you guys hicks, but I'm just sayin]

7/10/2008 1:38:37 AM

so based on the things that were listed, you're basically looking for acoustic indie?

not really since the 60s. bob dylan (and many others really) changed all that.

i stick with the hicks

and the old delta guys

I really miss the folk station that used to be on Sirius radio. The Coffee House does an okay job but just doesn't play nearly as much as it should.


I listen to it a lot and really enjoy the indie-folk/ alt-country scene but i always seem to forget artists that i want to download and hear more of by the time i get out of my truck. That being said...tww introduce me to some more alt-country groups. I already listen to quite a bit of Ryan Adams and Bright Eyes. so let me know.

panda bear

total psychedelic folk music

^^ get some whiskeytown if you haven't already. in my opinion, strangers almanac is much better than anything ryan adams has done since.

7/10/2008 8:50:54 AM

yeah, i've got whiskeytown. pretty much anything Ryan Adams has done

7/10/2008 9:14:02 AM

Try the Jayhawks

yea. everytime someone mentions a band other than nickelback or DAVE, its pretentious

7/10/2008 7:47:42 PM

7/10/2008 8:15:37 PM

i just assume anytime Dave is mentioned its pretentious.

then again im not entirely sure i know what that word means.

i just hate him.

7/10/2008 8:37:48 PM
