The Whip - X Marks Destination

Slightly disappointing in that I thought it'd up there with the quality of Does It Offend You, Yeah?'s album. It's not, but it's still great stuff.

Alphabeat - Fascination




Gotta love that band, infectiously catchy pop tunes delivered with genuine enthusiasm. Like Mika, only good.

Elbow's "Seldom Seen Kid", though I still have to get past the stage of hitting the repeat button on the title track.. what a tune - riff of the year so far.

True - a mate of mine was involved in their management team so he introduced me to them a good while back. They really are fantastic. Saw them in a club in London last month and they were top notch. Played a 15 minute set that had more fun, enthusiasm and all-out-energy than most bands pack into an hour long set.

Digging Efterklang at the moment, blissful soundscapes from Denmark. Also really like the new Neon Neon record, with Gruff Rhys from the Super Furries on it. Yeasayer's 'All Hours Cymbals' still stands up, great record. Has anyone heard the new Portishead album, 'Third'? Absolutely fantastic, thankfully not a rehash of past glories.

Vampire Weekend - finally got to listen to it and after one spin I love it

Three 'meh' albums, not bad but nothing new or daring or different:
Nick Cave 'Dig Lazarus Dig'
Supergrass 'Diamond Hoo Ha'
Goldfrapp 'Seventh Tree'

Debut albums by two French bands: The Do (great sound ruined by whiny singer) and Poney Express (nice folk-pop tunes)

I've been reading Simon Reynold's excellent 'Rip It Up And Start Again' (about post-punk), so that has inspired me to listen to albums he featured:

- the first Public Image Ltd album - wow!!! It ROCKS!! (Both Kevin Shields and The Edge should be paying royalties to Keith Levene)
- the first Roxy Music album: peacock-swagger-tastically, feather-boa-wearingly brilliant!!!!
- 'Fear Of Music' by Talking Heads: not as irritating as I thought it would be
- 'Colossal Youth' by Young Marble Giants: strange and quiet (no drums), I need to listen to it again but there's something odd and compelling about it...
