I always thought sadcore was stuff like Low, Red House Painters, Secret Stars etc. Or maybe that's slowcore? I have trouble keeping up.

In my mind, Cat Power and Iron & Wine sit firmly in the modern folk genre, alongside Elliot Smith and Smog. Agreed that they're both really good - although I have to confess to liking Cat Powers' covers record above anything else she's done. I think that makes me unhip :/

Yes, I think slowcore and sadcore are, or have become, interchangable. I was just browsing allmusic for inspiration and happened across Sadcore. Had heard of the term slowcore applied to the types of artist you mention, but it was the first time I had heard of sadcore being used as a genre. I agree, it's not the sort of term I'd apply to them either; modern folk is much more appropriate

. I think I'm going to start a new project for the year: to coin a new *core genre and have it used at least once in the music press - quietcore, electrocore, slightlypeevedcore... choices, choices.

The Covers Record is great. I think Moon Pix is the probably the hip Cat Power record; personally I'm a big fan of the You are Free. There are some excellent tracks on TCR. I really like the closers Salty Dog and Sea of Love (autoharp :cool:

) and the clever cover of Satisfaction.

i think you should start a league of Cat Power covers and you could call it catpowercore :rolleyes:

As Mohinder told me : "Hobocore"

Probably the best name for a genre of music since "Porn Groove"

I claim the right to coin 'corecore'.

I still need to think of some music to go in hobocore. It's really just an excuse for not having shaved, now I need to back it up with stuff

I think Love will tear us apart is my favourite.

I'm a big fan of this style of music so good to see it a little more common, makes it easier if stores import cd's saves my shipping costs

Yeh, same here I love most of Joy Divisions stuff and this style of music.

But standing aside from being applexcore or something

how about ditching the core and try something else, although as someone said Pr0n groove is a great genre.

Deep Throat Anthology - Run, Linda Run is an awesome song

The single reminds me of Ralph McTell - Steets of London
