    Shame's new album out very soon.

    Oh and I finally found something not on Spotify I actually wanted to hear; Proper Crimbo.

    Is Spotify Premium worth getting? My new phone contract comes with a choice of entertainment packages, none of which I particularly want or need, but I'm not going to leave them on the table. Either two years of Spotify Premium, NOW TV, or Sky Sports.

    Spotify Free is a pile of wank these days, I think. If you ever plan on using Spotify, you should get that.

    Yeah, best of the music subscription services in that bracket. I'd go for it.

    Having Spotify has lead to me revisiting a lot of older stuff. Fall of Math has held up remarkably well for a fourteen year old album in that genre.

    I'm sick of shuffle, at the minute so I worked my way through British Sea Power's back catalog. The Decline Of.. is so bloody good. Makes me disappointed when an artist that's almost 20 years old has their debut as their best album.

    Spotify premium is excellent. I used to download fucking loads of music, but in the 7 or so years I've used Spotify I reckon as an estimate, when I've tried to find something, I've had to find it elsewhere 5% of the time. For the other stuff Soulseek is brilliant, especially for more obscure stuff. My old LODGER's album that sold about 100 copies was on there ffs.

    Getting back into Everything Everything. Distant Past was so awful it put me off them for years but I've been pulled back in. Probably seeing them in May if I can get the time off. That's a common theme at the minute. All three gigs I want to go to at the minute are weekdays. Even seeing RM Hubbert in Durham's a chore because doors open at 7pm and I'm working til 8pm that night. At least that can be wrangled.

    What I would say though - Chill Out is NOT a good album for an MD comedown, all the spooky samples are far too unsettling.

    I bet this upcoming Arctic Monkeys album will be coma inducing (and I bet everyone calls it their best one).

    I like album 1/2/4 by them 3/5 can do one. When I say like, I mean like, none of them are owt special. What a game they have played to convince people that they are actually good.

    I really tried with the fourth/fifth ones because it took me a while to get into the third one, but fucking hell. They're boring at best, and mostly like just listening to nothing.

    I think personally, there 4th album is their best by far. I can take it or leave it with 1/2. The 5th is by far the worst, to a point that I can't bring myself to listen to it in full.

    Speaking of bland early 00s nostalgia, The Coral are supporting the Manics when they're coming to Newcastle.

    I just don't get the arctic monkeys. First album was alright, the latter introspective electro-ey stuff is just so BORING. In the same way the XX are fucking boring.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the reason why electronic sounding indie these days is so shit is because it's so fucking STRAIGHT. The pet shop boys and ABC and all that 80s electro-pop/new romantic stuff was fun because it was camp as fuck.

    The Arctic Monkeys have about four good songs when they first appeared by they very quickly went to shit. I didn't even realise they were still around.

    Who started the po faced electro-indie trend? I think the first group I remember hearing was Bloc Party.

    It was the latter days of the 00s landfill indie thing, I think? Maximo Park are the quintessential po faced electro-indie band (well put, by the way), because they were a lot more po faced than Bloc Party and their tunes weren't as good

    Maximo Park are another band I've heard nothing of in over a decade. I think of them as being a more straight forward indie band, all angular guitar and shouted lyrics. It's possible I'm just remembering Apply Some Pressure as their entire discography.

    As I said earlier, Arctic Monkeys played a blinder. They were the last on the scene and hasd some good tunes. The Libertines had died in a heroin mess and The Strokes couldn't go a second without having a drink. They were fading out and Arctic were knocking about and they were the last on the gravy train. They did well, marketing wise.

    But less of that

If you pick the most obvious example of a hit from their last album, "Do I Wanna Know?", he still sounds every inch the Yorkshireman that he's ever been on that record. I would say, in fact, that his major strength as a songwriter is that he's never lost that connection to his roots.

    Just because Liam has consistently worn a parker and pronounced the word "sunshine" with the same, perfect Mancunian twang for the last 20 years it doesn't give him the right to go around declaring everyone else as some sort of class traitor. And I say that as a fan. Of Oasis, obviously. Not anything he's done since, which has been uniformly horrendous. It's almost as if his status as the national gobshite in residence is a more lucrative commodity than his actual musical ability these days....

    Maximo Park were far better than Bloc Party. Bloc Party had Helicopter and another song I can’t remember the name of, other than that they were shit.

    I thought Editors had a few decent singles, as did a lot of bands around then, like We Are Scientists etc. Lead singer seems like a nice bloke, I liked them contributing to OSW.

    Eh, it's ok. There are some nice moments, especially on Four out of Five and the last track with the silly name. I'll give it another go or two but I doubt it'll enter regular rotation.

    I think they're pretty rubbish in general. There's just no fucking tunes, it's all too introspective and soulless, which you can only pull off if you're very good or very interesting and they're neither. First album is alright. Do I Wanna Know is a turd of a song.

    The general reactions I’ve read range from ‘it’s fucking shit’ to ‘meh’. Not listened to it yet, but not holding out much hope.

    I like it a lot, I think it's a very cool shift in direction. There are no typically big tunes or obvious singles on it (with the possible exception of "Four Out Of Five"), it's definitely something you listen to in the context of an entire album, but I'm fine with that. That's how I consume my music 99% of the time anyway. I liked AM, but a rehashing of it wasn't something I needed in my life. I would say this is a much more interesting record, on first impression.

    The album he did with John Hopkins a while back is great

    Went to a really good gig the other night. The Tongue Trap, local grungey band. Sound a bit like Parquet Courts; Yama Warashi, weird psychedelic Japanese stuff; Dorcha, synthy/stringsy Birmingham band. All female fronted, and eight quid for the lot.
