I had the new Vampire Weekend, The XX, the last Ulrich Schnauss and the new Four Tet arrive today.

Nice to have a splurge on music now and then. Got another three or four still on the way from Amazon.

Nocando - "Jimmy the Lock". Fab.
edIT - "Certified Air Raid Material" (from 2007 but just discovered it on iTunes)

Four Tet's Essential Mix was good last week- worth catching on the iPlayer.

Miles Davis "Bitches Brew". Can not get to grips with it, reckon it will take some perseverance.

It happens, can't always expect to be blown away by music on initial acquaintance. 😐

Jimmy - Four Tet is very good. More, erm, rounded than Rounds - bit more dancey too, but not in an obvious way. Excellent production.

Pop Will Eat Itself - Best of

Now you're talking! Give me big mac, fries to go...

On my long-and-growing list for first pay packet.

GLWT 😀 For me, the list has forever grown faster than the frequency or volume of the pay packets, and so I have had many times to discard any idea of lists and get what I can at the time.

I'm still old school and buy on CD, but many of them are priced so competitively that I'm more than happy to own the physical item AND load it into iTunes.

Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires. A strange mix of synthpop and shoegaze, with bits of Talking Heads-yness thrown in for good measure. Download from itunes, I didn't pay for any plastic circles.

Ha Ha DezB ^^^

I'm very slowly replacing my old vinyl, I'm currently on 'B' 😳 so the last one was The Birthday Party (he of Nick Cave fame). The Best of.......
PS I do listen mostly to new stuff, but recently had an urge to replace more stuff from my yoof.

Great album, interesting description too. I think of them as sort-of MDMA-indie pop, but I see where you're coming from.

Check out MGMT too if you haven't already.

Also check out The Temper Trap.

Delphic very good also... who'd have thought suede would feel so good next to the skin.

Bought: Frightened Rabbit - Sing the Greys
Obtained (not illegally): Frightned Rabbit - The Winter of mixed drinks

The fact they are both the same band is pretty co-incidental. Also recently got Mumford and Sons & Lostprophets.

Glad Bon Iver is getting some coverage on here - such a good album 🙂

Treat it as a good pub band in jamming mode, suddenly it makes sense.

Curtis by Curtis Mayfield

His first solo album - and it has an 8 minute version of Move On Up on there - worth buying for that alone.

we'd very much appreciate it if you were to have a listen 🙂

BTW the records listed at the bottom, Stars In Your Eyes and Quit, are nothing to do with this particular band called The Wick Effect

Spurred on by the protest and angst element of Rage Against the Machine getting to Xmas no. 1, I sought out for my new iPod touch:

The Levellers - Levelling the Land
&
NWA - Straight Outta Compton

Now got some ace angst ridden tunes from different music genres! Reminds me of my drink fueled primal screaming of my youth! Which reminds me, need to rip my Primal Scream albums...

Deepish Mood

?? A Depeche Mode tribute band??

Sorry, Alison Moyet called them that and it kind of stuck 😉

Saw them Birmingham NEC before Christmas, standing down the front, off to see them again at the O2 in a couple of weeks - this time we're sat up in the Gods (Block Q or something).

One of the few bands I know that can really work a stadium.

Support is Nitzer Ebb too.
