Well that would be my third choice, but I wouldn't call it particularly essential.

This makes me want to do Supertramp in "This Album > That Album," but I think I'd have to go back and reassess.

I missed reggae week so this is how I'm making amends.

I have been meaning to check out some Balmorhea. I really like the album cover. Hope the music is as good.

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Armed Forces

For some reason I decided the best way to go through Elvis Costello's discography is chronologically. I started with My Aim Is True a few months back and loved it. This Year's Model was ok, but a little average for my tastes. Armed Forces...his first to credit the Attractions on the cover...is pretty damn good. My Aim Is True is still a tad more entertaining, but this album has some songs that are just plain addictive.

Good album that, but far from one of my favourites. It's a bit too clean and glossy for my liking, and doesn't really do some of the songs any favours. There are a few of his best on there though.

The Saints - All Fools Day

One of the Saints' post-Kuepper albums, meaning it comes from the time after their first two punk album - when the Saints basically became lead singer Chris Bailey's solo project. Call it heresy, but it ain't half bad. Goes for a much, much softer sound than you'd assume, ending up with a kinda folk-rock sound at the end of it. Good stuff, but not a patch on their first two albums (no matter how chalk-and-cheese such a comparison might be).

This here's probably the best song on it (helps if you can listen to it without watching the uber-lame video);

Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With The Aarab Strap

My first Belle & Sebastian, and it won't be my last. Catchy Indie-pop songs, lyrics that draw you in. One of the most pleasurable first listens of an album I've had in ages, well I say first listen.. it took about 3 for me to love it. Great album. Can't wait to listen to another B&S record.

I really like it, I've known about them for a while but I never took an interest.. I'm now kicking myself. Are they well liked over there?

I'd say the majority of people you would ask around here don't even know who they are. Maybe the few who have seen High Fidelity or 500 Days of Summer...but generally if you listen to them over here you are probably obsessed with music like me.

Or maybe I just live in the most musically uncultured region of this damn country. Anyways...I take it they are quite popular there?

People who live in that region tend to listen to Nickelback I guess?

That's a good thing, I didn't think American's would really know about them except for the odd few. I didn't know they were mentioned on High Fidelity? I must've missed that reference.. and I didn't know they were mentioned on 500 Days of Summer either.
