What is a really good book, movie, or band that I may not have heard of?
Always looking to expand on what I’ve discovered thus far. Obscure stuff is cool, like my food spicy.

I thought The Terror was a good book.
I thought Hush was a good underrated movie. (if you don’t mind a tiny bit of violence)
I think Sprung Monkey and Brand New are excellent bands.
Book: Ubik (PK Dick)
Movie: THX1138 (George Lucas)
Band: Eames Era
Great movies you probably haven’t seen: High Tension, Hostage, Aeon Flux.
Great bands you probably haven’t heard of: Tsunami Bomb, Uh Huh Her, Metric, Round Table, Maximum The Hormone, Snake River Conspiracy
Book : Food for the Dead – a folklorist digs into New England’s vampire lore with a taste for the truth behind the stories and the wonder in them
Band : Movits! – swedish hip hop swing jazz!
Movie : Fido – a story of a boy and his zombie
tbh I couldn’t stand Fido
@Piper_Brianmind Uh Huh Her is a great band. I got to see them perform live, they were pretty sweet. I also agree with High Tension, that movie was intense.
Hmm, let’s see.
Music: The Birthday Masscare, Sneaker Pimps, Giddy-up helicopter

@chelseababyy I saw Eyedea & Abillites earlier this month, they put a good show. I hadn’t heard them before then ( I had mostly went to see Atmosphere).
For music, I’ll add Attracted to Gods, too.
Band: The 13th Floor Elevators, if you like groovy psychedelic rock.

@wildpotato great choices on all three! I got a chance to see 13thFE live a few months back, check out the black angels (I put a link in my previous post) I think you’d like them a lot
@Anon_Jihad The scary thing is, I don’t think they were joking.
Anyone like The Mars Volta, saw them a while ago in concert…
@bumwithablackberry great band. I wish they’d move a bit away from all the “we’re EEEVVVIILLLLLL!!!!’ thing though, their earlier stuff was awesome.
Yeah what’s with that, At the Drive In was so much more pure progressive music. I don’t know if their what you said, but they are pretty edgy these days
