My mum got me an Amazon voucher from Amazon.fr for Xmas which I have just used to purchase some random CD's picked from their reviews on Amazon. If anyone has any of these and could tell me if I have made a good/bad/indifferent choice it would be appreciated!

Haven't heard the new Nine Black Alps stuff much tbh. I think that one might be a bit hit and miss though.

Perhaps, but it is free(ish) so i'll not lost much sleep over it!

The Wombats are class

Playing in Luxembourg in March, will probably pop along to see them.

i haven't heard of any of those bands

Are The Wombats the Joy Division lot?

Is album any good?

i saw them supporting t'enemy in brixtaaaan. good band.
get the cortinas album, they're quality.

Do you mean Courteneers? They were on Soccer AM this morning. Album not out until March.

Wombats played at the 12 bar a few months ago - they ware quality

i have both those band of horses albums and they are very good. quite a mellow take on rock music. "is there a ghost" and "the funeral" are both quite lovely.

i have the previous album by stars as well (the one with "ageless beauty" on) and that was good too, dont know about this one.

here's one for you to look into bob's orange:

british sea power

very very good bad.

Yeppers. More of Mex's mates. Fucking media whore.  :P

i think they are from brighton?

by the way, that is meant to say "band", not "bad".

i sincerely apologise if anyone has been confused by my typo.

Get the maccabees album

Got both of their albums and I believe a newy is due for release soon which I'll also get

Already own!

new bsp album is very good.

another good record from down sussex way is by a band called metronomy. like a spastic version of daft punk.

Ooooh. I like Daft Punk and Spastics.

:soapy tit wank:

i bought a few cd's today, including the wombats - me likey.

still got to listen to the editors and reverand and the makers.

I might order the BSP album now  8) Like the new song after listening to it a few times now.

it was out yesterday wasn't it?

Not really new music but i am looking forward to the new Goldfrapp Album, the single is pretty sweet, really chilled out with a mad forest based video.

Best album I've heard for ages is by The Checks, although I've forgotten the title and its in the car. bit like a speeded up Zep/Cream/yardbirds to my tired old ears

this year is all about Adele ...

liaugnkm,,qbgv.

that is all.

whas the bsp single called?
iv also heard good things about reverend and the makers, anyone confirm this?

next BSP single out is waving flags, album Do You Like Rock Music is out now.

rev and makers pretty good strood

i'm going to go and listen to it now.

I've been listening to it almost exclusively over the past couple of days, it's fantastic. Not sure if i prefer it to The Decline Of BSP yet though

they are ace.

anyone like the Cribs?

Yes. Bandits and Open Your Window are quality. And obviously Heavyweight Champion Of The World.

I really dislike the Wombats. That is all.

Yes. I like them a lot.

Rev and the Makers and the Editors has been high up on my playlist at the mo and bizarelly My chemical Romance as well!

emo luci!

teenagers is a great track.

Reverend are class. Like their album. You should get it  8)  :D

2 good choices. Shame about the last one  :shock:  :soapy tit wank:

I like the Black Parade!

Will you be slitting your wrists tonight?  :wink:

No im afraid I wont be, however I may go "graveyard hanging" for an hour or so  :wink:

When you get your hair done will you be doing it black with emo bleached skunk stripe?  :wink:

Rich has probably got a pair of stripey knee high socks going spare

We shall see..........................I'm all up for a bit of a change  8)

Ace. We could change your username to Lady Emo.

I might change back to Andy King while you're at it.  :mrgreen:

luci just changed her profile pic on facebook to this

http://spravodaj.madaj.net/pic/emo-girl.jpg

haha you could have at least picked one that looked like me!

there are no blonde emos!

looking at the general (decent) music tastes on here hopefully one of the ten manifesto points is a decent entrance tune ala sham 69 at oxford, just a loop of the opening of pretty vacant would do me

Some emos are fit.

I could cheer them up.

the intro of peter pumpkinhead would be ace. appropriate(ish) too

I know for a fact one or 2 on here would probably like the intro to girls alouds "Love Machine" as the run out tune and Im not referring to the girls on here either!  :D

<---- 8)

is that a young tom waits?

yes sir

Im currently loving the new one by Sons & Daughters - its called "Darling"

brilliance! :--  :\/

Tom Waits rules sonic. Good form.

The Klaxons and The Wombats at the moment for me.

Best thing about at the moment is Something Good by high contrast/utah saints/kate bush - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hGw1kEhnds

Sound quality's not too good on that but you can also hear it 1m30s into this http://www.newmixes.com/annie_mac-mash_up-sat-12-14-2007.html

I've liked the wombats for a while now, http://www.thetownend.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15899&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=wombats&start=15, good to see them getting more attention now. Reverend and the makers are also good.

just waiting for black mountain's new album to arrive, the first one was fantastic.

also, finally got round to buying the justice album, "cross".

do the d.a.n.c.e (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_QVq2lGMs)

have a listen to that.

that is probably my favouritist song ever. fact

Anyone heard of The Cinematics?

I came accross them by chance the other day, it's not a new album but it's cracking stuff IMO.

http://www.myspace.com/thecinematics

Rumble Strips - Girls & weather. get it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5wORCu26Xw

and vampire weekend's albums out on monday. get that too

Got Rumble Strips. Wasn't overly keen on Wombats on first listen, preferred Nine Black Alps to be honest.

For laid backness, get the Stars album, very listenable!

*bump*

Lightspeed Champion - Falling off the lavender bridge

Buy it

justice are ace, playing in oxford in a couple of weekends! 8)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkyhqE_VOEE&feature=related

Some great music out just recently....

MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Sons & Daughters - This Gift
Magnetic Fields - Distortion
and Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend

Can highly recommend all of those

Never heard of any of them. Fuck me I'm getting old.  :|

i bought NME yesterday because there's a feature on the manics.

i haven't a clue who most of the other bands mentioned in the magazine are :?

I only buy music that's endorsed by the TEF.

Listened to these two earlier, not so keen on MGMT but Sons & Daughters is ace.

Samdy's record of the week is The Helio Sequence (www.myspace.com/theheliosequence) - Keep Your Eyes Ahead

Never heard of any of these either  :shock:  I'm losing my touch i think. Then again if every new band didn't sound the same....

I've never heard of many of them either. I wouldn't worry, there's so many bands popping up all over the place anybody who can keep up with them all clearly has nothing better to do with their lives!

Agreed. And you listen to one and you have heard about 5 of them in theory. I thought The Claxons were The Enemy until i discovered they weren't (that took me about 3 months)

Said it before but check out "The Checks" superb band.

The last 5 albums I have listened to are

Tom Baxter - Skybound
Minus The Bear - Planet Of Ice
BSP - Do You Like Rock Music
Fields - Everything Last Winter
Gravenhurst - The Western Lands

All decent.

New music is all terrible, bands today are by rule utter shite, can't tell these so called "indie" apart from one another it's just copycat crap. Last decent band to imerge in my opinion was Kasabian and that was way back in 2003/2004.

You can't say ALL new music is terrible, that's like saying ALL Belgians are peadophiles!

And you haven't done anything decent since about 2000 Gallagher!

are they? :shock:

Only because they are up Noel's arse  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Thats not true the last two Oasis albvums have bettered the previous, simple fact is they are victims of they're own success after the first 3 amazing albums and everything they have done since is unfairly compared.
Still better than the utter shite we get today though if any new band released SOTSOG, Heathen Chemistry or Don't Believe the Truth they would be laudid as geniouses yet Oasis get critisized.

Oasis went downhill because they got lazy.
