    What a fucking tune. We need more indie supergroups.

    i've heard the new Bloc Party is abjectly awful, which wouldn't surprise me given half the band fucked off.

    haven't had a chance to give it a proper listen

    I gave it a brief run through - it's pretty crap. The single is just some kinda Crazy Frog-sounding ringtone shit.

    There's also some weird religious overtone to it all as well.

    Animal Collective collective album is out this week, sans Deakin who is meant to be putting out his first solo effort this month.

    I've heard it plenty of times and I still don't know whether I like Floridada or not. I don't think I do, but it's possible it sounds decent on an album. I thought the last one was pretty shit, mind, so I'm not holding out massive hope.

    Very excited about the prospect of a Deakin album though, just based off the fact that the only two songs of his that seem to exist are both fucking fire.

    I really liked Florida. I hate it now, though.

    Also Riosin Murphy is absolute fucking shit.

    Why do stations persevere with playing live music from festivals? It sounds absolutely fucking shite, 6 Music festival in Bristol has been poisoning the airwaves the whole weekend and today, Julian Cope sounded like someone was tanking him up the arsehole. Awful stuff.

    Taken me a while but finally got into Gary Clark Jr's second album. A little different from Blak and Blu but starting to think just as good.

    Cold blooded

    Can't remember why, but I downloaded the Johnossi album Transitions yesterday for my travels and it was quite good.

    Initial impression is that AnCo album is unfettered trash. Mon the Deak.

    I'm reading through populist ( http://freakytrigger.co.uk/populist/ ) at the moment. Some bloke has been going through every UK number one single since the very start (Al Martino in 1952) and reviewing them. They're really well written reviews, if a bit pretentious. Gives his honest opinion on all the songs, but also gives little snippets of history and background information to put them in context and shit. Makes for very informative reading, but also gives me an excuse to listen to shit loads of antiquated pop music.

    Perhaps unsurprisingly the most enjoyable reviews are of the records he really hates. This extract from his review of the 3rd (!) Jive Bunny number one is possibly the best bit of music journalism I've ever read:

    The Mastermixers lift the march-time and riff and in their hands it immediately becomes a grim press-gang, redolent of the very worst aspects of the “party season”: the heartless forced fun of Christmas. Listening to it is like being pressed against a wall by some wobbling, braying, sodden monster who excuses all offences with the sprig of mistletoe clutched in their clammy hand.

    It’s an introvert’s nightmare, and we are all introverts compared to Jive Bunny. For the first time the record acknowledges his malign presence: the “March” sections are extended to make room for a satanic hypeman crying “JAAAAIVE BUNNEH!” every fifteen seconds. The producers also drop in the occasional sample – “What the hell is going on?” asks a voice, perhaps a tactic to make the record seem like a spontaneous explosion of zany hijinks to which only boring straights could possibly object. (We’ll see this kind of thing again: Noel Edmonds, for one, is taking notes)

    New Animal Collective album is actually surprisingly okay. After the negative reactions everywhere I was expecting something worse than their last. It actually has a much nicer flow than that one. They could have restricted this "hocketing" thing to one song, though. While not horrible, it's the third successive album of mostly background music with some nice moments thrown in, so they might as well call it a day now, I think.

    I'm sure there were some Smith Westerns fans here. Frontman Cullen Omori's debut streaming here: http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/0...ut-new-misery/

    Half way through, sounds very promising.

    Can't stop listening to Kano's latest LP. Can't help but forgive him for the last two albums as a result.

    Also, picked up Billy Braggs Life Is A Riot With Spy vs Spy 12" for £8 in mint condition

    There's a new Jeff Buckley album out - more unreleased stuff.

    Here's a few recent finds (although they're all kinda old).





    (apparently fronted by Owen Hargreaves)

    The new Frightened Rabbit album is really good. Probably not as good as the last one (which I was borderline obsessed with for a time) but a top effort all the same. They've definitely surpassed The Twilight Sad as my favourite of the miserable, Scottish bands.

    Yes, the new Weezer album is great! California Kids is easily the best single they've made in fuck knows how long. The whole thing reminds me a bit of the Green album. Short, punchy and (mostly) poppy. And I loved that album. I fucking love Weezer in general, though. I'm glad they seem to be back on track with the last record and now this one.

    Although I always seem to find merit in whatever they put out, even the albums that get critically derided as shit. Admittedly there has been some actual shit over the last 10 years or so. But even at their absolute worst though, Rivers is too good of a song writer not to strike gold at least a couple of times an album.

    I didn't even know they were going but I used to love them and seen the album pop up on Google Play over the weekend. Looks like I've two more to listen to that I missed as well.
    Really was surprised at how good it was though. Easily up there with older stuff, which a lot of bands don't manage this far on. The opening and closing songs are brilliant.

    Dunno how I missed this when I was into them, it's so much better than the official version (and anything else they've made in the past ~10 years).

    Been back filling vinyl from Holy Roar and Specialist Subject records recently, particularly as their stable have been playing Bristol a heck of a lot of late. More Than Life's Love Let Me Go probably the best of the lot, miserable South West Hardcore in the vein of Dead Swans. Giant's Break The Cycle is a lot like early Offspring skate punk with some hardcore tendencies whilst Muncie Girls debut is like a feminist early Green Day played by Elastica.

    Also loving Kano's new album.

    Can I retract that now because I absolutely get it.

    I'm sure Mancunians will close ranks and say it's brilliant, but The Stone Roses' comeback song (if you want to call it that) is terrible. It sounds like Status Quo have tried to do a Madchester tribute album, but done it worse than you would have expected.

    Yeah, it's not all that really, is it. The Radiohead album (on first listen) is another one where they've forgotten to put any songs on it again.

    I wish it was 1996 again

    The new Radiohead stuff really is a load of self indulgent piffle. I hate how everyone wanks over it instead of taking an objective view point just because it's Radiohead.

    What a pish argument. Nobody's going to pretend they like it because it's radiohead. See: the album they released before this one.

    Really? Have you listened to 6 music lately? They are gushing over it, especially that EXCLUSIVE ALBUM PLAY. It was crap and sounds more like a concept album.

    Also heard they were on This Morning as well? For that? Lol.

    I did think Mark Pritchard feat Thom Yorke - Beautiful People was a fantastic song, though.

    I think the new Radiohead album is a really strong piece of work. Definitely better than King of Limbs (which I didn't hate), more interesting. Some beautiful sounds on there, I keep noticing new little moments that I really love. Like, I just fully picked up on how awesome the string arrangements are on "The Numbers" whilst listening to it in the car on the way home from work just now.

    It is fucking rubbish. The best review I read of it was 'it sounds like The Bluetones doing a cover of the Going for Gold theme tune'.



    Spot on.

    Oh, you big iconoclast! I dunno, I disagree. Plenty of good songs, and the first album is great although hugely overrated.
