  • oooh... Madlib - Shades of Blue!

  • midlake - the trials of van occupanther
    amusement parks on fire - either album

    and in the last few months but looking strong,

    bombay bicycle club - i had the blues but i shook them loose.

  • Perhaps... but I've got on my list too!

    sorry, whatever it is you keep typing is obviously on my brains ignore list...

  • Thats ok, you can have INXS on your list because they are the greatest fucking band of all time and Michael Hutchence was a sexy beast! Grrroooooowl!

    I know dude.... I know.

    sigh

  • I truly think that Discovery is up there. Especially when watching Interstella 5555. One of the best experiences of my life.

    I was a bit dissappointed when discovery came out, homework is probably my favourite album ever. Listened to discovery the other day though and it does stand up well.. zane lowe is having it as one of the "legends" albums where they play the whole thing start to finish.

  • More big, dumb rock:

    Karma to Burn - Almost Heathen

  • The National - Alligator

    I prefer Boxer, as an album, but nothing beats Mr November. Can't wait for the new album and impending tour.

    For me it has to be British Sea Power - The decline of british sea power.

    I would also say they are the best live band of the last 10 years.

  • Archie Bronson Outfit - can't remember the name of the LP but its lovely. (edit looked it up: derdang derdang)
    3hotwomexicansandatinofspanners - again I can't rmemebr the LP titles. But they're all amazing.
    No Age were good on the first LP, Weirdo Rippers.
    I quite liked a lot of the weirder folksy stuff around like Bonnie Prince Billy, but best of all was the King Creosote album. Again, I have no idea what its called.
    Umm who else? !!! are wicked. The Justice LP is pretty bonkers. I obsess about the Cody Chesnutt song redone by The Roots, Push for Life. Not an LP though. Raphael Saadiq, Instant Vintage. Kelis, umm the one with milkshake on it will be pretty redolent of this era when we look back at that in ten years. Ditto the CSS LP. Ditto was the one fronted by a certain Miss Ditto. +1 on Jill Scott's first solo LP. Battles LP is pretty cool. Dare I say so was those nu ravers what are they called? Oh god. Can't remember their name.

    I would say this decade has been characterised by a lack of awareness of what anything is called.

    I hope the fake Rhythm and Blues artists are all forgotten quickly, I fucking hate all this fake 'retro' fifties and sixties shite. When I found out Amy Crackhouse hgad been fiddling around with Mr Magic I was gutted. They're all cunts.

  • I prefer Boxer, as an album, but nothing beats Mr November. Can't wait for the new album and impending tour.

    Both great albums, Alligator is just my favourite by far. It transports me back to a time and place and I never connected with Boxer in the same way. Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers is also brilliant and 'Slipping Husband' is probably my favourite track of theirs bar none. Looking forward to seeing them live also!

  • The Mars Volta - De-Loused in The Comatorium

    Great album,like nothing else about at the time.

  • Rammstein - Rosenrot

    Running through frozen woods in the dark, with only a headtorch, and some angry Germans on your IPod, telling you to 'get a f*king move on!' = very alive

    (*This may not be an accurate translation of the lyrics, as my german is unreliable)

  • reminds me, dangermouse and jemini - ghetto pop life.

    killer of an album for dangermouse before he got famous.

    Innit do

  • Vespertine - Bjork.

    heck.

  • Hadn't heard of this but really wanna have a listen now... Cedric is an incredible drummer, is he singing on this?

    Both sings and plays drums.

  • Hot Shower by Boston Tech
    Souffrance by Cheik Sunny Amal
    Lights On, Lights Off by James Wilstall

  • The Postal Service - Give Up

    Haha, how topical

  • Shuff - TekWarz

    Core2 - XP

    Dvoode - Seriouz

  • Brant Bjork and the Bros - Saved by magic
