'Last Night I Rocked The Room Like Elvis And Had Them Laughing Like Richard Pryor'

brilliant

Fragile is a great tribute to Chris Squire. I knew he was a fan of Yes and they did the cover of Long Distance Runaround.

I bet Hinds sound even better live. See that they are playing in February at Patterns.

the videos I've seen on YouTube suggest they are a bit gash live but I think I should go cos San Diego makes me happy and i very much like Solar Gap

I also think it depends how much beer they've consumed. I've got my ticket already and am quite prepared for it being utterly ramshackle and amateurish, it's part of their charm.

Trouble is I feel old enough to be a parent of the band at particular concerts. In this case we are talking grandparent!

Last time Howler played here almost the entire crowd was no older than 16 and it was in a space where you couldn't just stand at the back like a weary old elder tribal statesman. Very weird. You just have to try to forget you're old as dirt, order your half a shandy and ear plugs and get on with it. The game isn't over until you voluntarily buy tickets to sit down.

If the rest of the Roly Porter LP sounds like the first track we're onto a (hairraising) winner.

Ah, nice one. Read about this in Wire and I was curious. Couldn't find on Spotify. Is it out yet?

Tri Angle has become a really reliable label.

[HermTalks]

Just upgraded my amp, so really looking forward to a lot of good listening this year. Hyped for PJ Harvey new album as well as Jack Garratt, Iggy Pop & Josh Homme, Last Shadow Puppets and - take this however way you wish, I will not be criticised - a potential new Missy Elliot piece.

 

[SicilianHungary]

The new Savages album is amazing, listen to it as soon as possible!

I'll give Chairlift's new LP a go soon.

The Besnard Lakes have released their latest and it sounds exactly as you'd expect a Besnard Lakes album to sound.

Personally I think that's a good thing though I can understand some of the reviews mentioning they seem to be in something of a self-made pigeon hole.

No bad thing as far as I'm concerned. There's not many doing that sound as well as them. The criticism baffles me a little it's not like they're doing it to be trendy.

Yep. Its mainly Pitchfork who've levelled the "same old same old" criticism though I often get the impression that unless its NEW AND DIFFERENT Pitchfork aren't interested.

The new 'Tindersticks' L.P is absolutely magnificent. A band that I have adored from day one have delivered something phenomenal. Buy the vinyl to get the DVD that goes with it. I'm on my third listen (first 2 on disc, this time the DVD). It's wonderful, wonderful.

Haven't heard it yet. Must remedy that. I fell especially hard for 'The Something Rain.'

 

[BBassic]

Happily urging everyone to give 'Marble Mouth' by Pillar Point a spin.

It is pure synth joynoise.

I'm really enjoying The Savages record but **** me the lyrics are shit.
