I'm only just now getting into doom, and all I've really heard is Bongripper and Sleep (and some local bands, which started the whole thing). Anyone want to suggest some bands I should check out? Or else some kind of Doom podcast/radio show?
Sorry about being such a noob. Just really itching for some heavy, heavy riffs.

That is an awesome name dude. I had a giggle.
Welcome, and D.o.S. was pretty comprehensive there.
I would add Conan, Windhand, Cough and Eyehategod.
Suss out the listening party thread for some more cool shit as well.

If someone knows the Youtubes better than I do we should create a primer playlist/mixtape.
'Cause looking at a list of bands (and my god, there are so many A+ doom bands from the last fifteen years it's absurd) isn't actually all that helpful--at least, it wouldn't be for me.

Obelisk is awesome! As was the old Sludge Swamp, which went down a few years ago. Pretty much daily reading.
