(warning: this thread may contain references to norway or norwegian musicians)
so... what are you enjoying lately? have you made any exciting musical discoveries? are there any bands you wish would release some new material (aside from disbanded/defunct ones)? what are you fed up of hearing?
i've been wishing that kings of convenience would release some new material, so i've been checking out erlend oye's solo stuff and the whitest boy alive. it's a bit too electro at times but quite pleasantly chilled at the same time, bit like royksopp
i've also been listening to red brick dream a lot. i'd never heard it before and checked it out on the strength of adje's recommendation via his signature... i love it.
if anyone likes twee female singer/songwriters, check out rockettothesky

On an americana type tip, Im listening to the J Tillman album at the moment which is pretty good, but more impressive than that is the debut album by The Acorn. Very very good if you like your fleet foxes / okervil river type stuff.

I like the new bat for lashes single,
Also La Roux In for the kill,
Another classic from the devil dog of disco drum and bass
and the MGMT remix
I love Calvin Harris - I'm Not alone too.

Standard SY world view then...wouldn't you just die for a set of cheekbones like Morten Harket though. |

Loads of good stuff coming out in the next couple of months: Super Furries which I have spoken about elsewhere, Bat For Lashes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs to name a few... but the three I am most excited about are new albums by Mastodon, Grizzly Bear and The Field.
At the moment I am enjoying Animal Collective, the new Trail of Dead (their best since Source Tags & Codes, for my money), Deerhunter's 'Microcastle' and last year's pretty decent debut by Santogold.
And, GK nash, Okkervil River are a truly wonderful band. I can't find any fault with either of their last two albums.

Nice....I've been grooving to the Manatee Parasites, Welder's Flux and Arranged Marriage. The Parasites....Tics My Box is sublime. |

Is it good? I never listen to anything after the Miner's Strike. |

In for the kill - La Roux (Skream Let's get Ravey Mix) is the biggest tune at the moment, top notch! Also Commix Album - Call To Mind is awesome
