Consider the source(s).

Pretty sure you put cold girl fever by the national on an old mix, which got me into them.

Somebody for the Lucero/Ben Nichols things, but I always forget who.

Billz for the wedding present and rad/bg/billz for jazz butcher

Mamy more

I spend very little time randomly sampling new music, so most anything new-ish on my iPod is the result of one Ob or another

so, thanks Obner

Oh yeah, Billz for Magazine and Gary Numan. I think puma may have been involved in those recs as well.

There's more than that now, though. I'll thank on it.

Thanks to pumachik for turning me on to Lindstrom.

I randomly sample new music for more than an hour every day.

But never would have given DBT the time they deserve if not for Obner. Probably GAR. So thanks Chewbacca Matlock.

black putin - hello saferide
cotton - the fall
dalen - tribulation and a bunch of other bands

Radcliffe - Redwalls, Bedouin Soundclash, a lot more
Crack - Heartless Bastards
Cotton - Thao Nguyen, Cotton Jones, The Fall
Billy G - Labi Siffre, Syl Johnson

plenty more that I can't think of right now.

That's cool that cotton got you guys to like The Fall.

southpacific for my 80's synth obsession a few years ago.

I donno who made that country mix almost 2 years back, but it had Teddy Thompson on it, which I subsequently tracked down and bought, and that was among my favorite discs last year.

Also, Albion's XTC Mix still gets regular play, 4 years later.

And like everyone else, Rads gets credit for a lot of good shit, perhaps most notably that Silver Sun tenner. WHOO.

I actually found two old Poptodd threads about this topic. I'm an ungrateful bastard though and hadn't thanked anyone in either of them.

I know there were tons back in the CMJ days but my memory isn't good enough to remember who to thank for all those. From what I can recall:

Shamwow: Audience, Jazz Butcher...there were others but those are the standouts

Radcliffe: Rich Hope and His Evil Doers, Frankie Miller, Flophouse Jr, Thelonius Monster/Bob Forrest, Fabulous Poodles, Ike Reilly, Artful Dodger and many others. Probably the best thing he turned me on to though were those Country Got Soul compilations

FT: Deathray Davies, Will Johnson

Mojo: Chamber Strings

Caputo: Peter Bruntnell and of course Belleville

Loogar or Bloor (can't remember which): Chinga Chavin

Dumpjack: a bunch of stuff that I'll plead the fifth on

Tentoze: Hoyt Axton, David Olney, Taj Mahal and probably a few others I'm forgetting

Crack: MMJ, the Good Life

Stop Breathin: Knife in the Water

contradiction for avett brothers
e-stone for war on drugs

i feel like i've contributed more than just the strange boys.

I think this thread accurately represents my contribution to Obner.

did i really? sweet.

Dalen - definitely for a lot of the electronic artists that he thought i'd like and i do now, too many to name

Yail - for setting me straight with the Stones and telling me where to start

Tania (Aural) - i can't recall what bands, but i know there's a ton. not to mention if it weren't for her, i wouldn't be here.

and i know there's a shitton of other folks who've introduced me to music so PLUR to all

Thank you Stop Breathin' for turning me on to Spoon and John Vanderslice.

Thank you mcaputo for turning me on to Belleville.

Same here, I never post mixes and rarely pimp a band. I find that I often discover a band on my own and then realize that a thread existed about the same band months beforehand.

I forgot a couple of others...

Thank you to shiv for turning me on to The Hold Steady.

Thank you to Black Putin for turning me on to The Shins.

i don't know how you guys remember specifics...the only ones that come to the top of my head right now - mainly because i just recently played both of these:

KPH for gene clark

Damen for the cinematic orchestra

i'll add more as they come to me.

Thank you to whoever posted the tenner for turning me on to The Go Betweens

thank you to wenchlette for turning me on
