So what's the plan for the Fang kiddies?

I liked the Squarepusher album as well, for me he's back on form

1. "Taylor Swift?? Oh how eclectic!" (Good music's good music, Girls Aloud released one of THE great pop songs in my opinion, they just happen to be on Radio One and the cover of Smash Hits)
   
   
   
   

agree about Girls Aloud - Sugababes had a brilliant song too - still say Toxic by Spears is one of the greatest pop records ever made

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

Boom.

Cant listen right now unfortunately, looking forward to giving it a whirl though

I was pretty hyped about both the Lone record and the Lee Perry/Orb record, and I have to say I haven't been grabbed by either of them, maybe its a case of not spending enough time with them, but my expectations were high and they just didn't quite deliver.** EDIT: **The Nathan Fake record on the other hand was great.

If you like ambient/field recording type stuff, the Robin The Fog record is amazing, field recordings done in the old BBC world service building then mixed on reel to reel tapes. it really is incredible.

You could read my review of them on my blog, but I actually just reviewed the song titles before listening to the album, and not the album itself.

edit - just realised I wrote but not published it... published now!

'Meta' Album reviews. Do not want.

FOTL new one is quite synthy as well as guitary. They're angry, political, up-beat, clever, and don't entirely sound much like anyone else.

Nice, they remind me quite a lot of Lost Sounds

Then it very much sounds like I need them in my life.

This. And also +1 to Alt-J.

My other nominations:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Purity Ring - Shrines (although they are horrifically boring live)
Sharon Van Etten - Tramp

I liked the Godspeed record but it wasn't wholly up to scratch with previous work I thought, have enjoyed all the Van Etten I've heard but haven't picked it up yet

What do you make of the Future of the Left album, probably the only decent album of the year?

Haven't heard it so couldn't say, will check it out though. To be honest I listen to a lot less guitar music these days than I used to, my interest is more in electronic/experimental music right now as I find it more interesting, I cant say I wholly disagree with your frustration at the state of 'indie' and new guitar based music

I hate them because they're fucking shit, and I don't need to listen to them to know that. I promise you 100% I am right.

I promise you that statement makes you look like a fucking idiot.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAANYWAY, albums we like...

I dont give a shit what you think, I might bother reading your tedious opinion if you actually listened to them rather then judge them from the off. Your posts pretty much sum up everything i despise about 'blog culture'.

slowclap

Yeah! hate on a band cos they have a silly name! and they're a bit posh! and they won a prize! Don't listen to the music, fuck that MY USELESS OPINION IS WORTH SO MUCH MORE!

Also, picked up the X-TG double yesterday, I have to say the jury is still out for me re: the Nico disk, but the Final Report is fucking awesome.(if you like that sort of thing)

+1 to Alt-J, a really really good debut, I hope they continue to make such awkwardly good music.

Ninja Tune have been banging out some brilliant releases this year, the Slugabed record was great and I really enjoyed the Invisible record as well, a much easier listen than the debut but still awesome, im sure there are loads more but I buy too much music so my memory is pretty scrambled...

Fuck. Yes.
