Music eh? It looks like we went on a completely opposite arc. I fell for it big time early but as time went by found myself gravitating back to Hidden. Still one of my faves of the year though.

Claire Balding. It was the capital B that gave it away...

Claire?

It sounded to me like something a 40+ 6 Music focus group would come up with. For the record I like 6 Music & most people over 40 who are into music! I just felt there was something a bit contrived and insincere about the whole thing. I'm probably totally wrong but when I get that feeling, I...

You're a brave man! It has been praised to the heavens on here. I was pretty suprised how much I liked it to be fair, given the previous one didn't do all that much for me (sorry Herr T.) Opinions eh?

1) I don't know, I think I was on a Corgi Registered Engineer vibe for some reason. 3) It's too early to interfere with the final, possibily the semi's isn't it? it certainly was last year anyway. Is it moving due to the world cup or something?

I think you got this totally right sir - 6 months on and your final sentence is exactly what I feel.

Most overrated band of the year - Public Service Braodcasting. I'm really not sure how they managed to hoodwink so many people, some of whom are normally of exceptional taste. Totally dull krautrock rip off with the rather naff old broadcast aesthetic. Like Joesph Stannard of the Quietus, Wire...

CRE - I'm having a final look through this thread to see if I've missed anything. Are you still subscribing to this theory?

No worries whatsoever, apologies for coming over as a grump!

This has had plenty of love this year, I think it was Albumen who intially reccomended it. Lovely album.

I should have known that in Oh Sees world an "indefinite hiatus" would last a couple of months. New album in 2014 http://www.theeohsees.com/

Thee Oh Sees have gone on indefinite hiatus. Their last couple have albums have felt a little "by numbers" to me, though they are still heads and shoulders above most other garage rock bands. If you didn't ever see them live you missed out big time. I wouldn't worry too much for the fans out...

I was there

I didn't give it enough of a go, I'll go back to it one day.

Barnes is his own worst enemy if he wants a much larger audience. Skeletal Lamping was far too crazy a follow up to capitalise on the commercial breakthrough of Hissing Fauna. On balance, I still think SL is my favourite record of theirs but my is it hard work at times. What size venue are they...

Same here on Hissing Fauna, I accidentally saw them live in 2007. I bought the ticket on the strength of the name, thinking they were a post rock band. Saw them live at Audio, knowing absolutely nothing about the music & it was an unbelievably good gig with all the theatrics we have come to...

Are you new to of Montreal?

I can't believe this has sold out. I might be wrong but I don't think much of his most recent record (certainly in comparison to Smoke Ring For My Halo, anyhow) & he was playing the sodding Hope on his last tour. Where have the extra 600 people come from? I really enjoyed him on that tour...

F*** The Countryside Alliance would be the one interesting me the most.
