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.

?? A Depeche Mode tribute band??
Them Crooked Vultures, which makes me uber cool. 😉
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.

Dissapointing, underwhelming dad rock is not cool
Tonic for the Troops - Boomtown Rats

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.
"Empire & Love" by the "Imagined Village"
Not played enough yet to comment. Though not too sure about "cumon feel the noize".
Eat static - implant
bit of a blast from the bast there yossarian, think I'll dig that out!
Depeche Mode - Sounds of the Universe
Yo La Tengo's latest, "Popular songs". Havent had enough time to listen to it yet!
florence and the machine
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 🙂
Biffy Clyro's newest album, bought today, not listened yet.
jimster - MemberThem Crooked Vultures - still trying to get to grips with it.
Treat it as a good pub band in jamming mode, suddenly it makes sense.

I'm so unhip it's a wonder me bum doesn't fall off..

I reckon they might be better than the Peatbog Faeries
Cardiacs - "Mares Nest".
didn't think I'd get a copy after poor old Tim took ill and the band and ABC hung up their socks. But all their stuff is on itunes now.
Timbaland - Shock Value II...such an ace album
Jon Hopkins - Insides. Very good too.
I'm having that Four Tet album as well. Would recommend the Blood Bank ep by Bon Iver if you like the album. Flawless live too 🙂
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.
These New Puritans - Hidden
Rammstein - Mutter, Sehnsucht and Reise, Reise. Metaltastic 🙂
if anyone likes Editors, Interpol & the like, may I be so rude as to recommend [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0035YSCV2/ref=dm_sp_alb?ie=UTF8&qid=1264620485&sr=8-41 ]this[/url]
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
The Low Anthem - Oh my God, Charlie Darwin. Excellent.
Ministry of sound- electronic 80's, Best.Album.Ever!
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.
I had a review published in NME of an early DM gig. It was the worst gig I've ever been to. I'm sure they got better though 🙂
Just bought that annoying little manchild Jamie Cullu (sorry, can't bring myself to finish it) for the Mrs on the basis she ONLY plays it in her car.
Just pre-ordered Falcon by the Courteeners if that counts!
Quite like the sound of Delphic so there album will be next but being billed as the next new order, I can't help but think it might be a let down?
them crooked vultures. - damn fine tuneage
Billy Joel - Innocent Man (again, but this time on CD)
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
2nd copy, first one awol.
Listening to new Vampire Weekend for second time now.
Not as immediate as first album but I like how they've developed their sound.
Think there's a bit of auto-tune on his voice at one point though, which is a bit odd considering how distinctive it is anyway.

He sat at my table at an awards dinner I attended about 8 years ago - just before he became well known iirc.
He was very small, smug, and his music was deeply boring cover versions even then.
michael Buble-'crazy love' new album for my hubby....
eels new one.
