How bizarre, my mate just asked me about Mason. Yeah I must give him a listen so. I just listened to the Bloc Party album. Its not bad. 13 tracks, one or two you could pass on but overall not bad. Its not an instant album, but thats good. Mature on me no doubt. Three songs in off the Doves. I am liking it.

You can download three boc party songs off their site, google search.. I personally think those three songs sound like a cheap demo, maybe they will grow on me, Declan O'Rourkes new album is very good, Kasabian are deadly, The Killers, get Snow Patrols album if you haven't got it, I just got it, excellant.. Im listening to Cider Horizon by The Shades at the mo, kul song, think they're form cork are they?

yeah the shades are from cork, excellent excellent band
album is really good, and if you like what you hear wait till you see them live, the play with upto 12 musicians on stage. Guitars, keyboards, drums, a string section

and a guy on decks.. its deadly

Finally got Interpol Antics the other day. I have only listened to it once. It does seem better to me than the first album. The Kaiser Chiefs album is sitting on my desk at home with The Futureheads new one waiting for me to give them a listen. Looking forward to hearing both of them.

Declan O'Rourke , Bright Eyes and Tom McRae are getting alot of playtime by me at the moment. Because I was away for the last three weeks I have a backlog of new albums to listen to. I will mp3 them and stick them on all weekend and come back with an opinion!!

Got a listen to the Bloc Party LP yesterday. some very good songs on it but some very ordinary stuff as well. Rating it out of 10 -I'd say 6 maybe 6 and a half.

Scarily -I bought NME the other day for the first time in about 7 years and it's still a tragic read. You still get the impression it's written entirely by 20 year olds just out of college and on minimum wage -all trying to make a name for themselves by being snipey and snide.

Most records made today and by a certain ilk of band (androgenous skinny pale white lads) are good and all things made yesterday are bad unless they were made in 1982 in which case they're okay coz they've spawned the fcuking Bravery.

Bought The Bravery the other day and was pleasantly surprised, some excellent tracks.

I saw Garden State recently (top notch flick BTW), they have 2 songs on the soundtrack - Caring Is Creepy and New Slang. Both class tunes, and work really well in the movie. Natalie Portman makes Zach Braff listen to the first one in a doctor's waiting room. Mind you she could offer me 100 mile an hour satanic death metal and I'd still listen to it for her
