Famous Last Words
New Open Mike Eagle album is pretty damn dope, one for the Hip-Hop fans on here to check out.
I've been discussing in greater detail the new Belle and Sebastian album with HKFC and both of us think the disco tracks spoil an otherwise classic B&S album. HKFC suggested adding the 4 disco tracks as as bonus tracks at the end and then everyone would be happy. Are there any Belle and Sebastian fans who like he disco tracks? I did kind of enjoy 'The Party Line' when I first heard it but it now annoys me as much as that Daft Punk 'Get Lucky' song.
Jessica Pratt – ‘On Your Own Love Again’...her voice will annoy people (probably the likes of Tiny Cowboy’s wife, it certainly annoyed my girlfriend)
If you think 'You Made Me Realise' is one of the best songs ever written, this lot could be for you.
I don't think, I know. Never listened to APTBS - always assumed they were some EMO kind of thing for teenagers?
Grrrreat new track from the forthcoming Joanna Gruesome LP here
A few mentions for Tigercats in recent posts. A couple of the band used to be in Esiotrot from Brighton who I thought were even better. Did anyone ever see them play?
New Hot Chip album out soon.....yes-sur-eeeee!
Looking forward to this, listened to In Our Heads recently and had forgotten what an amazing album it is.
The Districts - 'A Flourish And A Spoil': The more I listen to this small town East Coast band the more and more I like them. Great lyrics, some of the tunes on there are absolute stormers and it's a real mixed bag from mid-80s REM-esque indie guitar to stadium pleasing Killers/Kings of Leon type tunes. They should have been around 7 or 8 years ago when this type of band ruled the airwaves but I think they've got enough great tunes, the musicianship and ethos to go onto quite big things even sounding slightly dated.
Jefre-Cantu Ledesme - 'A Year With 13 Moons'. Musician records everyday sounds and puts them into an ambient electronic album = Pretentious bollocks. Remember the sound of a ZX Spectrum game loading up? It's basically the same sound.
Vision Fortune - 'Country Music'. Don't let the title fool you, it's electronic post-rock and quite experimental. Too experimental for my tastes. I like a tune to my music and couldn't find one in the first 4 tracks so didn't bother with the rest.
