Did anyone hear the new album Broken Bells? I've listened to it about 4 times already and it's pretty uber. It's the guy from the Shins and Dangermouse. It's basically the Shins but more upbeat.. I would totally suggest you give it a listen.

Been wanting to get my hands on that for a while. A former flatmate of mine was quite the fan of that album, and I was pretty impressed with what I heard off of it. Can't remember any song titles though. That American Football album sounds pretty interesting too.

Been cranking the new Fall album again myself. Three listens since getting it, and it's still one of the best they've done in years. Red raw, loud as anything with some great basslines and the whole lot.

Also...

Chris Hillman - The Other Side


I don't have anywhere near a good amount of bluegrass in my music library, and albums like this make me wonder why. This here's one I downloaded last night, and judging by the first listen it sounds like an excellent, easygoing slice of bluegrass to me. The lyrics are hella corny, but I'm loving the melodies and musical arrangements all the same though. Also, it's putting me in the mood for the following album, which can't be a bad thing...

Elvis Costello - Secret, Profane and Sugarcane


Sir Elvis Costello's excellent latest effort, and a refreshing departure from the same-old-same-oldness that was the album he released before it.

Star Fucking Hipsters - Until We're Dead



This is fucking enjoyable. Just got it yesterday, good punk rock with hardcore tendencies. Some of the drumming and guitar work even reminds me of bands like Small Brown Bike and The Casket Lottery, reminiscent of the No Idea Records sound and emotional hardcore. When they're at their most aggressive, I'm reminded a bit of Gallows too. A nicely varied punk album with male and female vocals.

Sarena Maneesh - Sarena Maneesh 2: Abyss in B Minor

Not the best shoegaze album I've ever heard, but definitely warrants a listen only because they expand a bit more than most shoegaze bands do. Instead of just nonstop fuzz in your face or reverb drenched clean guitars, they actually have a wide range of sonic textures. These guys will do great things, I am sure. This album alone has some great moments.

One of my favorite albums that. Hell of a first song with Never Meant too, personally I find it's the one that really stands out. Once I hear that I can't stop listening till it's over. The whole album's great though.


As Dead As Leaves - No

Fantastic whatever this would be considered. I've had it for a while and didn't listen to it before this. Very simple repetitive music, definitely not for everyone, but quite the enjoyable listen while I was busy cleaning my room this afternoon.


The For Carnation - The For Carnation

The For Carnation managed to a craft a damn good album here. The music is very simple and repeats a lot (guess I was in the mood for that today) but when the guitar comes in out of absolutely no where, you realize just how perfect it is, and the time they must have spent putting everything together at just the right time.

As far as progressive house goes though, the Prodigy are definitely where it's at.

Quick update on my current musical situation...

The Pogues - Hell's Ditch

This album's half and half for me. There are some of the Pogues' best songs on there and, consequently, some of the most fun songs ever written, but bits of it (particularly the second half) are pretty uninteresting and, dare I say it, boring. Well worth it for the highlights though. Haven't listened to this album in almost a year as well.
