I'm so fired up about this, lemme start a topic that is beyond Motorpsychedelism. If inappropriate for whatever reason, can it.
BUT till then:
http://www.antiquiet.com/news/2009/07/homme-grohl-john-paul-jones-new-band/
I repeat: HOMME, GROHL, JONES!
This beats Rossi, Tardelli, Altobelli by a million miles. And if Patton joins in, o my o my. Jones never really got to shine on that 07 reunion, I missed him going off like this:

talking about recent news, these days I'm really into last Tortoise's album. It's simply amazing! I was waiting for something like that since "TNT" times (is it a little off topic? :D)
supernaut

yeah I thought we could use this topic for any music besides Motorpsycho. due to the forum's structure...
or let's have a subforum for that. like the marketplace.

Currently three bands are high on my play counters:
- Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds; as I am trying to complete my collection of his vast musical output, which is not an easy task by any means. --> http://nickcaveandthebadseeds.com/
- Terry de Castro; well, not a band, but rather the bass player of The Wedding Present, Goya Dress & Cinerama. "A Casa Verde" is her first solo album, filled with great folksy tunes. Very lovely, very recommended. --> http://www.myspace.com/terrydecastro
- The Dø; This unusual and eclectic duo from France got me when I saw them playing live at the Southside Festival a couple of weeks ago. I bought their album "A Mouthful" and that contains a large range of different styles. However it is more on the melodic/poppy side mostly and the voice of the (female) singer is one I needed to get used to first --> http://www.thedo.info/DO/

I lost track of Nick Cave a bit. Bad thing to do. Grinderman is good.
And check this:
one beat, one clip, 15 minutes!
get down!

I'm into PJ Harvey again lately. Got almost all albums now.

I like PJ Harvey a lot. Just recently I gave her albums a spin again (I own all of them up to "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea").
Seeing Nick Cave live at the Southside Festival was a blast. He is just an incredible performer and frontman and the Bad Seeds are and amazing band and very, very loud, too. Songs like "Tupelo", a more brutal version of "The Weeping Song" and "Stagger Lee" are just crazy.
@"Babe I'm Fire" - yup that's a good one. Unfortunately that's from the last album with Blixa Bargeld. However, as I love the current one "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" also (and a lot, too) I think The Bad Seeds will remain relevant for a long time to come, even considering that founding member and driving force Mick Harvey recently left the band.

I'm totally beatled right now. From watching documentaries to slamming away on that "beatles rockband" plastic guitar... 
Sometimes I honestly do think MP is the greatest thing since deep freezed pizza but the Beatles... dang, those ideas in those times and the sustain of it all. Were they so way ahead of everyone or did (at least white) music simply stall in 1970?
In terms of sound and production it seems to me that the aim of every guitar fx pedal ever invented is to recreate something the Beatles did at some point in the studio, fiddling with amps and tapes and whatnot.

BEATLES!
I love them too (who doesn't?), but only really worship them from 'Rubber Soul' onwards.
I think it was a matter of fearlessness and experimentation that made them so prolific and special. There were no rules to break for what they were doing, they were creating a new idiom, so that made them totally free. IMHO.
The spirit of not being willing to repeat yourself and to keep things interesting for the musicians first, is an enormous influence on our friends MP. Again, IMHO.

got the new Do Make Say Think album friday and already I think this album is very good. not that the music is like Motorpsycho, but i think a lot of fans of MP will like DMST.
From this year Fever Ray and the latest to Wilco are the best i think. and after i saw Grizzly Bear i bought their latest album and it's really a great album. i couldn't understand all the fuzz of this band in the beginning.
and the last months i have listened a lot to The Knife.
(vinyl vs cd discussion : I love that both DMST and Wilco put a cd of the album in the "vinyl package" so i can play it in my car when i drive for work)

Now I'm discovering the pre Revolver stuff. There's wonderful popsong craftmanship before that one. The whole Help! album is perfect. Especially Hide Your love Away and Ticket to Ride. And then I Saw Her Standing There, Drive my Car, Norwegian Wood, If I Needed Someone, A Hard Day's Night, Can't Buy Me Love, Day Tripper, I Wanna Be Your Man, You Can't Do That, Anytime At All, Things We said Today... shedloads of brilliance.
I'm not sooooo bedazzled by the whole Sgt Pepper and Revolver albums and there is some filler stuff on the White Album too. About half of each album amazes me. From this period I prefer the weirder songs on Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour such as Hey Bulldog, It's All Too Much, Only A Northern Song, Blue Jay Way, Baby You're A Rich Man and the probably best ever written song by humankind I Am The Walrus.
If they'd omitted Maxwell's Silver Hammer, the Abbey Road album would be perfect.

I kinda liked Maxwells Silver Hammer.

it wants to be liked. it's the little cute ever happy neighbor's boy, rabbit teeth & glasses. but it's also one of those ballroom mccartneys giving me a hard time to listen to. like Obladidelida. Martha my Dear and When I'm 64.

Them Crooked Vultures are touring germany. Probably leaves everybody cold right now considering but we are going to Cologne. I'm spending money like mad this year for rocknroll midlife crisis panik attacks.

I like a lot of stuff unrelated to MP. One of my favourite bands after MP is the Scottisch band Elbow! They've released four marvellous albums between 2001 and last year. Their oevre is full deep sadness, great beauty, the sweetest melodies, and a driving, sometimes rocking force! We still believe in love so fuck you! Grace under pressure (as they named one of their finest songs)! Alone Guy Garvey's voice: powerful, meaningful, dominating and at the same time so incredibly soft and warm and sad. I'd mary his voice if I could! An Elbow-concert is absolutely fantastic, too! Go see them if you get the chance. Throw those curtains wide, one day like this a year would seem me right!
Another beloved band of mine is Modest Mouse which probably more people know. Especially their early stuff from the nineties is Killerindierock. I recommend "The lonesome crowded west" and "Building nothing out of something" if you don't know them.
An older band I really like is Queen, btw. I'm not talking about their greatest hits or their later output in general, but about their first three albums. There are two songs on those which made it to the best-of-albums, the rest is hardly known! Unbelivable, imho. It's fantastic progressive indierock, very diverse and playful, and full of glam rock anthems... Hum,.. I know, in the end it' a matter of taste!

"Colour Haze" is another great band. Stoner, psychedelic, very free-form. Heaviliy recommended for all psychonauts. Their 2007-self titled album is a good starting point. Listen to "Peace, Brothers & Sisters"...i think it's on their myspace-page http://www.myspace.com/colourhaze
