Good job. It's shite. 😉

I.D. & Baobinga - Bass Music Sessions (free download)
Jack Johnson
Went to check out that Alabama 3 album on Spotify. Track listing - looks good, put the headphones in OH GOD WHAT IS THAT THERE? EMERGENCY REMOVAL OF HEADPHONES. It looks like it says 'Johnny Borrell' on that there track. Oh god, it really does.
2 girls 1 cup has nothing on seeing Johnny Borrellend's name on the track of an album you're about to listen to. 🙁 👿
I'm loving NicheTastic by NeverHeardofThem

You should try this obscure thing called "The Internet". Also known as "The World Wide Web". You'll find a fair bit of music on there. No-one will tell you what to like, which could be a problem.
Well I rather like the new(ish) Gorillaz and Faithless albums.
Apologies if anyone's heard of them though - I have no imagination 😉
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and the Cairo Gang - The Wonder Show of the World.
Danny & The Champions of the World - Streets of Our Time.
Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here
Four Tet - There is love in you
Another vote for them, great albums plus
gorillaz, the fall and hot chip
Just wondering how many folks here are aware of Hume's definition of an aesthetic judgement and if so, how many here are actually in a position to make one ?
A thread title of music you like rather than "best" might be more appropriate.
Of course those who are in a position to comment can carry on as normal 😉
I just checked Fabio Capello's iPod. There's no Plan B.Good job. It's shite.
-1. Its great. better than the other guff in the charts.
Sage Francis - Life is my favourite of the year so far
[i]better than the other guff in the charts[/i]
Which charts?
See, all those who seem to object to "obscure" or "underground" music, or whatever you want to call it.. look here http://boomkat.com
An online music store. The front page. I've only heard of 4 or 5 of the artists. There is SO MUCH music around, why does it upset/annoy/whatever you that you haven't heard of stuff?? Incomprehensible attitude.
LCD album was ever so slightly disappointing for me. Just not as good as the last one, still liked it but feels a bit formulaic now.
Ditto Crystal Castles, which lacks the hypnotic weirdness of their debut. I saw them live, they were alright but Heaven is an awful venue.
Four Tet album is impressive, but not sure if it really hits home as either spoddy-glitchy laptop music or dance music.
I suppose nothing's really blown me away yet that was released in 2010, but I'll check out some of the above recommendations.

Who me? it doesn't, my music taste is as obscure and random as it gets and you probably wouldn't have heard of half of my music collection.
I was simply disagreeing that Plan B was shite, its actually quite a good soulful album. his 1st album was pants though.
Oh and thanks for the link, looks interesting.
[i]Who me? [/i]
Nope. Those who deem it necessary to comment about such things.
So far, it's probably been [i]Queen of Denmark[/i], by John Grant.
+1 for Bonnie Prince Billy and the Cairo gang, can't get enough of it
The National "High Violet"
She and Him - vol 2
Field Music - Measure (might have been 2009)
Midlake - Courage of Others
Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can
At the risk of being terribly populist, and possibly 2009, I think the Mumford and Sons album is awesome.
With BD on Gaslight Anthem and The Hold Steady. Seen both live and the Hold Steady are blooming amazing. That there fella goes for it.
The National's one is good too (could also be 09 though).
Loving the new on by Sleeveless Ego Leather. Best thing out of NW America in years.
Loved The Hold Steady, but for me didn't match up to Boys & Girls in America.
Know what people mean about LCD being dissapointing. That was my first impression too, but it's grown on me steadily.
Have heard about the Gis Scott Heron but not heard it. Thanks for tip - will get myself on Spotify forthwith.
Avi Buffalo, Laura Marling, MGMT's congratulations is worth a proper go, some of Darwin Deez - bit novelty tho.
Yeasayer, Broken Bells is good but a bit soft, too clean. I like Gorollaz, I'm loving Midlake but that was last year i think.
Im liking The Rumble Strips - Welcome to the Walk Alone
Just to be clear I've no interest in folk trying to out "obscure" each other. I'm genuinely interested in what's blown you away. When music threads appear here. I do listen to pretty much every link and recommendation that's posted. It's literally days of endless excitment sometimes. Opening up a you tube link is like unwrapping a Xmas pressie. It may not be what you hoped fir but the senders/posters sentiments are hopefully one of genuine " this is fab you have to listen to this right now"
Ihn I agree it's footstompingly ace
