Cheers for the recs Armor. Haven't heard those artists so that's cool.

Bursny check out 65daysofstatic, Mono, God is an Astronaut and I'd second Armors This Will Destroy You recommendation. I assume you're already listening to GY!BE, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, etc

Burnwinter

Yeah, I'm familiar with Mono and obviously the last three (seen all of them live too)

I caught the tail end of a Jakob set when they toured with Tool a few years back. I enjoyed their sound but didn't think any more about them after the gig. Really enjoyed that track though so might have to check out some more of their stuff. On a side note, I wasn't a huge Tool fan at the time but went along with my brother-in-law who was nuts about them. But man, what a band they are live. I'm now a big fan and very much looking forward to some new material from them...in the year 2036 or something!

A couple more post rock type suggestions

Interesting song title / band name combination …

Rex

Foo Fighters' new album is ace.

Bono’s gazing wistfully out the window now. “You know, man, falling off my BMX in Central Park while attempting a wheelie has really made me think about my own mortality.”
“What about the door blowing off your private jet?”
“No, that just made think I really need a new private jet.” Bono sighs. “You know, when I was growing up in Ballymun-”
“Glasnevin.”
“When I was growing up in Finglas-”
“Glasnevin!”
“When I was growing up on the northside of Dublin, I never dreamt that I’d be the kind of guy privileged enough to ride his BMX in Central Park.”

Epic orchestral music, the best thing to listen to when you're writing a paper at 3 in the morning, again. I hope to channel the awesomeness into my dissertation.

A small selection:

e: done, I feel that my paper is suitably epic thanks to my background music.

Thats great. I love the Brian Eno bit.

Burnwinter

🙂 The bionic arm bit was great. Thought you Dubliners might be able to shed some light on the "north side" joke — guessing Bono tends to overstate his hard scrabble credentials?

I usually avoid this place Rex as it is normally infested with teenyboppers, so here you go-

Goth at the BBC was fun, was left thinking I need to check out Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy (they looked incredible) and Killing Joke properly. And maybe some early Cure too.

And don't forget to check out Tones on Tail too, who were a side project of Bauhaus.

Just heard these two played on the radio over the last twenty minutes.

Ha 😆 they're now playing Chesney Hawkes but that'd be a cheesy pop song too far for this serious muso thread 🙂

The Northside of Dublin is like the Western suburbs of Sydney/Melbourne, and Ballymun and Finglas (where I grew up) are amongst the toughest area's, but near them is Glasnevin (where Bono is from) is quite posh.

Burnwinter

This would've been the correct PM Dawn pick Y 🙂

Hmmm, not sure about that Bw 🙂
I've never actually heard that before.

Burnwinter

Never heard You Got Me Floatin? Tragedy.
