Yes, given I have all of LCD and Gorillaz output I need to get the previously download only collaboration between the two of them whch is out on 10".

 

[Braders]

The 2 Bears 'Be Strong'.......very good album

Very much this so far.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Another stormer ( vid of the year to boot!)

 

[Albumen]

Lotus Plaza for me.

 

[Mr Banana]

That 2 Bears album is splendid. Also: America Give Up by Howler for those who'd given up on jangly indie. And the Coxon album which is all dancey. Glad someone said that Band of Skulls album. Springsteen's one is his best work for aaaages.

I have read some stuff written by the Howler singer. He seems a fun chap and I hope to see them at The Great Escape.

The Men - Open Your Heart

Fans of sebadoh yo la tengo dinosaur jr etc should check it out.

I should check it out

Robert Pollard/ Guided By Voices are having a prolific run (even by his standards) and the quality just keeps being delivered ... at least 2 more albums due over the next couple of months

listened to a couple of tracks, top recommendation, more than a touch of Husker Du going on there .... which is of course a VERY good thing ..... thanks for this .... better than anything new I've heard on 6music over the last few weeks

PS disappointed with the new of Montreal album.

They'll still be excellent at The Concorde I'd think. Fabulous live band.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Here's one from left field.

Really enjoying Thick as a Brick 2 by Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson. Even going to Guildford to see him perform TAAB 1 & 2 Live in a couple of weeks. Superb production too by the same guy who recently remastered Aqualung.

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

I really like Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars too.

 

[rcf0712]

cheers, any good?

seriously dull

Cornershop's will be awesome when they manage to release it, a compilation of 2011's six Singhles Club releases and some new stuff - ordered pre-release on vinyl and waiting excitedly.

Also, Hermitude's album Hyperparadise is pretty cool.

 

[New Carpet?]

Django Django or Grimes so far for me.

 

[Braders]

Loving Lana Del Ray and Feeders albums - fantastic.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

First Aid Kit-The Lion Roars


Brilliant!

TNBA

TTF

 

[Albumen]

Think I'm going to fall into German Ambient Techno love with Mohn, out this week. 2 x 180g LP + CD, it's an audio thing of beauty.

I've been a bit slack this year only two albums purchased - Sleigh Bells & Perfume Genius. Considering the new Jack White album along with Paul Weller & Spiritualised anyone listened to these yet?
