Atlantean Kodex – The White Goddess

Still don’t believe it’s real!!

There’s way worse then that in my collection.

Naughty/Daft band name warning

I think my winner this year is Andrew Bird

And a special free download for all STWers

Alter Bridge — Fortress

trailmonkey : +1 for the dub – got it already, we perhaps have a few friends in common 😀 , d’ya know Tim Brynovsky?, he’s fae the village up here.

Soundcloud link to Brynovsky here

somafunk – glad you like it, currently working on an album for next year and the soundcloud page is here:

Red Star Martyrs

Loving the Brynovsky, thanks for the heads up 8)

Already seen it mentioned but giant +1

For Volition by Protest the Hero.

kezia is one of my all time favourite albums and wasn’t sure they would ever top it, but this has blown it clean out of the water.

*currently listening to it for the 1500000000 time*

One day I’m going to do a correlation between music threads, obscure coffee/coffee machines, pretentious razor users, loudly proclaiming I don’t own a TV/only listen to 6 Music, scandium fixies and anything else niche threads – and I’m pretty sure the same culprits would be present in more than a few 👿 😉 😀

Not bought that many, but AM for me – arguably their best yet.

For me one of the most enjoyable albums this year is Hope & Social, All Our Dancing Days. Great songs, moving and fun. What more do you want from music?

Great thread.. downloaded loads of new stuff off deezer.

I hate you all, this thread is going to cost me money. 🙁

This year, I have mostly listened to Polish nursery rhymes. Anyone want a link? It’s a unique experience…

Best album: ‘What I’ve always waited for’ – Nu Logic

Track of the year though is Fred V and Grafix’s ‘Goggles’. Jaw dropping on a proper system.

Another vote for Holy Fire by Foals. Wonderful album, amazing musicians.

So, limiting this to albums released this year…

White Lies – Big TV. Solid album if lacking the feeling and emotion of their first.

And… The Floor is Made of Lava – Kids and Drunks. Danish band, sing in English. Absolutely awesome live. Google them if you like guitars, strained lyrics and beautiful story telling.

Easily my fave of the year Defeater – Letters Home
closely followed by The Bronx IV

Clutch fans = Beards = Real ale enthusiasts = Steel 29ers = STW

That is such a narrow-minded sweeping generalisation of a statement.

I sold my steel 29er and now have carbon, thank you very much.

Mrs cloudnine has just gone out to a kids party with the little uns and first chance to listen to this. Fired up my BK XXLS400 sub and had the windows vibrating.. a rare opportunity to vibrate next doors walls.
I was thinking of selling my sub but its worth having one for tracks like these. Thanks 8)

Mazzy Star, Seasons of Your Day

Certainly not a new album, but I just can’t get enough of Consolers of the Lonely, by The Raconteurs.

In my opinion, it has got to be one of the best albums ever written.

Volbeat- Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies. Volbeat was one of my top concerts of 2013 too.

Arctic Monkeys – AM

For Jim Bob (and any other Nicolas Jaar fans) –

I have played it so much that I forgot it was only out in Feb this year.
My winner is..

Dark and beautiful Scottish bleakness 😉

Valerie June – Pushin against a stone
Arctic Monkeys – AM
Wooden Shjips – Back to land

are all getting played regularly. James Skelly and the Intenders album is also worth a listen and I’ve just received the Melt Yourself Down album which sounds promising.
