Bargain trawl round London turned up:
Sonic Youth - Dirty
Destroyer - Your Blues
Jeffrey and Jack Lewis - City And Eastern Songs
Mogwai - Special Moves
All for about £16. The Mogwai live album features their live film 'Burning'. Ace.
that's a cool record pauro 76 - my friend likened it to coming down off drugs while early-morning cabbing it back from a club through deserted urban streets - i have to agree with him. dunno if you like four tet or thom yorke but they collaborate with burial here, to f'kin good effect:Quote:

Listened to it for the first time getting a London nightbus a few weeks ago. Some albums sound amazing at a certain hour.Quote:

Cornershop - ...and the Double 'O' Groove Of: On the other hand this has been a surprising disappointment. Never been let down by a Cornershop album before. The tunes (Topknot and The 911 Curry in particular), and Bubbley Kaur's vocals, start well but soon begin to get samey and even, dare I say it, to grate.
Blue Aeroplanes - Spitting Out Miracles: Recently popped back into the brain after however many years, picked it up second hand online, and delighted that it's still gloriously patchy but still swoons in all the right places. Bury Your Love Like Treasure, Winter Sun and the title track are just wonderful.
The following are no strangers to the stereo this week:
Different Gear - Beady Eye
Decade - Neil Young
Marquee Moon - Television
Draw the Line - David Gray
Essential - Bob Dylan
Slanted and Enchanted - Pavement
The River - Bruce Springsteen
David Gray has had his critics over recent albums but "Draw the Line" features some brilliantly crafted songs. "Full Steam" featuring Annie Lennox is particularly good.
Had a fairly quiet week re albums however having purchased the new Foos album (Wasting Light) I have to say I'm suitably impressed. Seems like a return to form. Dave's lyricism in some songs is weak as always but some of the drumming and guitaring is stunning! All hail Pat Smear!
Loving new Foo Fighters record, easily up there with their best work. White Limo is heavy as feck, very welcome return to form for them.Quote:

the new Arctic Monkeys tune - Dont Sit Down Cos Ive Moved Your Chair
verdict? I think it sounds flippin deadly. I hope the whole album is as heavy.
does anyone like my morning jacket (u.s. band)? i'm not a fan really but some on here might dig them. except this song i absolutely love. u.s. tv is not the best place to see something like this performed but the quality is very good - really hits liftoff at 3:40:

and they have a new song that sounds very u2-ey
I heard this song of theirs in American Dad. It's really good. I listened to some of their other stuff and didn't like it as much. It's still a great tune.
yea i like that frank.
Foo Fighters playing the entire album live in Studio 606.
Rock. On.
Bloody hell, I really like that.Quote:
