Ok I have bought the following new albums. Interested to hear the thoughts of ye music people on them:
Real Gone - Tom Waits
Waves - The Devlins
I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - Bright Eyes
All is Violent, All is Bright - God is an Astronaut
Fire - Electric 6
Feeder - Pushing the Senses
I'll be buying the Doves new one today!
The only one I'd take an interest is the Electric 6 album. They are very good, but they take the **** so much its hard to know how good they really are!
If I was to recommend an album it would have to be Kasabian. I'm going mental over this band. all the singles are class, and its hard to pick a favourite they're all so good.
Funny I think so far the Electric Six album is disappointing. As for Kasabian, I've had it ages, not too plussed about it. I will give it another listen but its too much like other bands but a poorer version of them. I will listen again tonight Kingdom and maybe change my mind.
Bloc Party is out today!!

3 albums I keep meaning to pick up:
- Kasabian - Kasabian
- Velvet Revolver - Contraband
- The Music - Welcome To The North
I got the Devlins album Waiting back when it came out and I was in College and somehow I just really liked it. Then they released Crossing the River for the Batman soundtrack. The album consent is an album I'd put on studying or sleeping. The new one is a nice gentle more of the same album.
Velvet Revolver - I haven't heard one song from them. Is the supergroup good? :) And the music I haven;t heard either. I remember when I was on top of listening to all the new fandangled music bands!! :)
Got it at the weekend, it's excellentQuote:

KT Tunstall's and Nick Kelly's new albums are very good too as are the following (relatively new, last few months):
Interpol
The Libertines
Kanye west
Rilo Kily
The Shins
The Killers
Mark Geary
I want that Interpol album. I really liked The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow and The Killers. Mark Gearys Ghosts is great. Really good second album. Lovely guy. Didn't bother getting the second Libs album. Is it worth it?Quote:

EDIT: apart from electric six, who i wouldnt have taken seriously.

I got the Music' first album and thought it was an incredible sound for a group so young, liked their new/most recent single but haven't the dosh to buy the album , or the technology to download cheaply I might add too.
Picked it up at lunch, along with Kasabian, well impressed so far. I downloaded WinAmp to listen to it (I wouldn't p!ss on Media Player if it was on fire) and got a free track from Silvertide called California Tide. Not bad, not bad at all. Anyone ever hear of them before - worth picking up, etc?Quote:

radio promo singles
Suzanne
Gingerman
Only girl for me
Nothing on his site re this album. Not in any store I ever been in. Its not a very mainstream release.
doesnt mean it never happened thou :)
story goes he was signed to paradigm (sp) in the US and the day of the album release the record company went backrupt, so all his albums that were printed were left somewhere in a warehouse. record company owned rights not mark so he cudnt get it reprinted reissued and re-released himself. Was out in 99 afaik. Is available if you look around small record shops in NY.
Most of the songs though with the exception of Sombrero, Watertight, by the time & you're not my friend made it onto 33 1/3 & Ghosts.
ie volunteer, america, adam n eve
it does on the other hand mean that mark has more or less been playing the same set for the last 7 or 8 years at least
More of the same tonight btw in the Comedy Club on Coburg Street in Cork.
Support Ian Whittey. Kick off around 9. mark on at 10.30pm
Ok well in that case, he has three albums :D
Seen him live loads. Plays the set very well : )
