Having 6 weeks around the house has saved me a lot of money so I am going to splash out (not in a sexual way) on a few CD's. I'm thinking

Pigeon Detectives
Mumm-Ra
The Cribs
Manics
Travis :oops:
The Twang
Biffy Clyro

so far, anyone else recommend or advise to decent indie type stuff at the moment??

My last batch included Idlewild, The Rakes (which I think is ace), Fall Out Boy, Tom Baxter, Porcupine Tree, Cold War Kids which gives you an idea of my musical preferences.

Pigeon Detectives - don't bother
Mumm-Ra - don't bother
The Cribs - mmmm, maybe.
Manics - don't bother.
Travis :oops: - shit.
The Twang - utter shit. get some flowered up instead.
Biffy Clyro - their new single is pretty decent.

i'd get the new modest mouse album.

Get maximum bass and pump out the choons!

I already have the modest mouse album.  :mrgreen:

Uh, no! :evil:

Ha ha  :soapy tit wank:

get Biffy Clyro's new album! you won't be dissapointed! nice to you have some Idlewild and Rakes as well!  :wink:

Pigeon Detectives-Is ace
Mumm-Ra- Not heard of them tbh
The Cribs-Loving 'Mens Needs' haven't got round to getting the album yet
Manics- Very hit and miss
Travis :oops: -Again hit and miss, but i have a soft spot for travis, so i like it
The Twang- Love it
Biffy Clyro- :negsy:

I'd also recommend Good Shoes, CSS and Electric Soft Parade

I watch a lot of MTV2 so have seen videos by Good Shoes and CSS, Good Shoes seemed ok but not sure I liked CSS. I have the new Electric Soft Parage album and very good it is too.

Waiting for albums by The Enemy and Ash and enjoying a choon by a band called Reverend and the Makers at the moment!

I'm waiting for the new Interpol record,not out till July though  :(

yup im waiting for that one as well. hopefully another decent album this year.

ooh, class another to add to my wishlist. The Editors album got slated in Q Magazine this month but I like their current single.

 Reverand and the makers are a good band . saw them live when they supported Arctic Monkeys last year before they were even signed. thier bassist was mental  8)

i haven't heard it yet. ill give it a listen on their myspace i think. looking forward to that album as well! so ill have to get that

"myth takes" by !!! is quite good if you like disco-punk.

other recent purchases that i am enjoying include "mirrored" by battles and "person pitch" by panda bear.

i'll get grinderman and the new album by the cinematic orchestra when i get paid next.

i appreciate that i'm probably talking to myself here.

ps. editors sound like a covers band covering interpol doing a joy division cover, badly.

My old man brought over the CD's by battles and Cinamatic Orchestra and although different to what I normally buy, was decent enough in a quiet laid back type way!

The new Mark Ronson album is very good, Calvin Harris album is superb, probably album of the year - get your money on him to win the mercury music prize now, although High Contrast's album out in a couple of months might beat him. Maximo Park's new album is a lot better than their first, arctic monkeys seems ok.  The Twang have some good songs and Biffy Clyro are decent, saw them live last year and they were good.

Tempted by Calvin Harris. Got Maximo Park which is very good. To be honest my favourite album this year is probably Bloc Party.

Have Pigeon Detectives, Biffy Clyro, Mumm-ra, The Cribs, Manics and The Twang on the way.

calvin harris is wank

I get the impression that there is not very much that you enjoy in the music world, or am I being naive?

You are wrong.

Dizzee Rascal's new stuff is fucking good too.

am i fuck, both of his singles have been utterly atrocious and downright offensive to the world of music.

peter crouch is shit as well

and you're a cunt

I don't know if they've got an album out, but the wombats are very very good

No you really are completely wrong on all counts, he has had more than two singles anyway so I don't know which ones you mean but they were all class and so is almost all the album.

Crouch is a legend obv and his record speaks for itself, just as I predicted. Second top scorer in the champions league this year tells you all you need to know.

And you're posts have been so fucking dull for about the last two years, it's a shame really, they used to be worth reading.

oooooh, forum bitch wars.

would agree with that, bought maths and english today,  very impressed again and love his music, but it's a shame he was such an arrogant wanker when i saw him live
