Most of the Kentucky artists would be Country or Bluegrass.  However, we can claim Adrian Belew and the Everley Brothers.  Plus, Jimi Hendrix was stationed at Fort Campbell and played the Chitlin' Circuit around the area.

I may be the only one, but I'd take you up on a bluegrass-oriented Kentucky mix.  Not so much the country, though.

This is basically the best idea for a mixdisc ever.  Thank you for the inspiration AD.

I will be working on whipping something up by this weekend.

[theinevitable]

yeah, um. On that link hobot posted? I got nothing. There has been no good band out of North Carolina.
Although, one of the bands listed plays in Charlotte all the time. I think they're a psychobilly band?

[Mite]

Aw, c'mon man, you at least have Ben Folds! Also Superchuck, Southern Culture on the Skids, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and my boy Ryan Adams!

Who knew Wikipedia lists musical acts by state? Will wonders never cease?

[Hobot]

I will be reading this for the rest of the day.  Seriously, there is a list of band names with date references.

And this is for Tangle.

Goddammit Hobot.. I'm at work.. I have shit to get done.


*click* *click*  *click* 

(I just spent the last 30 minutes reading about some terribly crappy band from a tiny town just because I drove through it when I moved out west... DAMN YOU OCD!)

Edit: Also -  List of band names that contain numbers - WHY?  Why am I doing this to myself?

[jough]

I used to make lists like this - all bands titled "The ________".  Or "And The" bands, like "K.C. AND THE Sunshine Band" or "Sly AND THE Family Stone".

Yes, I used to have too much free time.

[theinevitable]

man. Ben Folds was not listed, nor was Ryan Adams.

Southern Culture on the Skids? squirrel nut zippers? are these good?

[Tangle]

And this is for Tangle.

Thanks much! Of course, that list is missing some obscure good stuff that I intend to include

(...although, 99.9% of those names are probably hell of obscure to y'all anyway, so... um. did I have a point? dunno.)

I do hope no-one is expecting me to include any HIM. Don't think much of their music, myself. Although I do respect the fact that they've managed to gain some popularity outside Finland (and even in the States, based on the amount of HIM merch that I saw in a Hot Topic a few years back).

If you browse the Marked For Deletion you'll quickly learn how much the regulars there hate people like you. For some reason their 3 biggest pet peeves appear to be vanity pages, definitions, and lists. Although sufficiently geeky lists seem more like to slide through. Such as the List of neologisms on The Simpsons.

Tangle, aren't there two bands called HIM? Or is like HIM and h.i.m. or somesuch nonsense?

List-haters will get their due. 


P.S. Cort, speaking of vanity pages, there's one missing now... *whistles innocently*

Yeah, kinda. The band I'm talking about, mates of Bam Margera and idols to goth emo girls here and there, is HIM. They were originally called His Infernal Majesty but shortened it to HIM due to accusations of Satanism and so on. Wikipedia page.

There is/was also a New York "dub influenced post-rock group" called HiM. Don't really know anything much about them. Wikipedia page.

[jough]

Cort: I just made them on my own computer, in Word.  I did not post them to someone else's web site (i.e. Wikipedia).

Southern Culture on the Skids? squirrel nut zippers? are these good?

I enjoy them -- they are both great live.  SCOTS is a wink and a nod at "trailer park" culture, but the music's hella fun.  They got a bit of airplay a few years ago with "Camel Walk," but I also really like "Firefly," "House of Bamboo," and "Daddy was a preacher but Mama was a go-go girl."  The female vocalist really reminds me of the B-52's.

Squirrel Nut Zippers is a swing band.  You probably know the song "Hell" because it was played everywhere, and was used in ads for Dead Like Me.  They're really a throwback to '30s style Cab Calloway jazz.

Side note: Squirrel Nut Zippers is responsible for my favorite music festival moment ever.  As they were finishing their set, the generator behind their stage literally caught on fire, so they played Hell with no lights, no amplification, and with flames behind them.  It was seriously awesome.

[Lister]

Oh yeah, I was thinking about a mixdisc featuring music from/around Alabama, but then I realized that I would have not one, but two American Idol winners on it.  And that's terrible.

Also, thanks to wikipedia, I know that Taylor Hicks was a year behind me at Auburn, and was probably in classes with my slacker roommate.

Woo.
