[Josef Svejk]

Not knocking the song, but that guy's dancing reminds me of...

 

 

 

 

... with a bit of the following thrown in:

 

 

 

 

Mo Mowlam on bass is the icing on the cake.

[Pureblood]

Stupidly catchy songs on this.

Ty Segall is class. I played Fuzz to death. Love Thee Oh Sees as well.

[robbiefowler9]

Neutral Milk Hotel. Saw them last night so been playing them again loads recently.

At the Roundhouse? I was there too!

[robbiefowler9]

Disregard, I saw them on the 23rd.

Guys, we had this conversation on the YouTube thread weeks ago. Keep up will yas. I said the same thing as Josef, I reckon he's channelling David Brent with his dancing. I love the song, but I struggle to listen to his singing. I'd like to hear someone with a good voice sing it normally without all that growling shit.

Utrecht Tivoli on Saturday. They were boss.

Apologies. Didn't spot that. Though I'm not surprised the video showed up there.

Been listening to Gonzales quite a lot again recently.

I am digging the new Parquet Courts album, Sunbathing Animal, at the moment.

Light up Gold was boss too, although their best work might have been the Tally all the things that you broke EP from December last year.

"You've got me wondering now" was probably the best pop song of last year I reckon, and "The more you use it the more it works" is totally immense.

Anyone going to their Liverpool gig on Sunday?

[King Emlyn]

I'm massively into San Fermin at the moment. Wonderful band. First track sounds like a mix between the National and Sufjan Stevens.

 

 

 

 

Not bad

[Tom R]

Golden Silvers. 

Well good:

[Tom R]

Lovin a bit of Jagwar Ma as well at the minute. headphones. Dead loud. Class when the bass kicks in on around a minute

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Really digging Queen of Denmark by John Grant.

 

Beastmilk' s album Climax is boss.

Mastadon - Once Around The Sun

First Aid Kit and Lorde's albums.

And I really, really like 'West Coast' by Lana Del Ray.

[Total Longo]

The Black Angels first album "Passover" is a work of genius. Cannot stop listening to it.

 

Apparently their song "Young Men Dead" was used in True Detective, and another tune off it "Black Grease" is in GTA V. 

 

Sort of The Doors meets The Velvets meets The Black Keys.

 

I'd post a clip but i am in work so that's out of the window.

[RoboRiise]

At this exact moment Arcade Fire, who are just fucking owning Glastonbury again as I type.  One of those bands who I don't listen to for 6 months and then remember what a flaming ball of greatness they actually are.

I watched the full set live on the iplayer website. Just turned BBC2 on when it finished and it came on there. It is staying on.

[Pureblood]

The return of the Afghan Whigs.  Now I much preferred the old line up, with the spooky slide guitar genius of Rick McCollum and the far superior drummer Steve Earle, but this new incarnation is pretty good too and anything Dulli related is usually worthwhile.  

 

The woman who presents this is a bit annoying to say the least but she means well and there are some interesting discussions.  The drummer does annoy me a bit, though, I can't get past his lame style and beats.  It takes the shine off the whole act a little for me as the tunes are gagging for something more interesting from man with the sticks.

Seen them live three times, never seen a band who look to be having so much fun when they play.

 

I was a late starter with them, they'd been completely under my radar until December 2005 when I was channel surfing one night and flicked onto channel 4 just as they started to show a performance Arcade Fire had done for French TV earlier that year.   Watched the first couple of minutes (two clips from it below) and I was just transfixed by both the music and the sheer spectacle of the performance.  Hardly moved for the next hour, mind blown.

 

 

[Vincent Vega]

RoboRiise back, get in! Just need Shankly's Ghost now and I'd be the proverbial pig in shit.

 

Love Arcade Fire too, Sky + set for my return from the Algarve where I'm currently enjoying my favourite World Cup since 1982, Suarez nonsense excluded.

Haha hi mate, I've come 'back' twice now already since I vanished and I'm pretty sure i posted once both times then disappeared again.  Not even intentionally, I just find myself doing other things then realise three months have passed.

 

I still can't get used to the (no longer) 'new' forum style, every forum I use has sacked vbulletin off now and I fear change.  I don't need the ability to hotlink twitter, automatically update facebook and all that shite, I'm not a 13 year old girl.

Both sets were GREAT yesterday.
