Well it's that time of year again ... and I could do with some recommendations of good new music! So, what albums have been pumping your nads this year?
made complimation albums more than gone out and bought .........only cds ive bought this year arnt 2006 tho (jam " fairport convention" barclay james harvest " keith urban "jimi hendrix )......but hoping to get some wolfmother of santa .
I posted this in the general music forum earlier, and looking it over, it still holds true, but I can't help but think I'm missing something.... 1. Midlake - The Trials Of Van Occupanther 2. Richard Buckner - Meadow 3. The Album Leaf - Into The Blue Again 4. Tunng - Comments Of The Inner Chorus 5. Nobody & Mystic Chords Of Memory - Tree Colored See 6. Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit 7. Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass 8. Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere 9. Adem - Love And Other Planets 10. The Decemberists - The Crane Wife 11. Joanna Newsom - Ys
Tricky list for me as I've personally bought zero albums released this year. My housemates do try to keep up with these things though, so I've heard a few. With that in mind, my top 5 kinda reads like this: Joanna Newsom - Ys (This one is actually mine!) Muse - Black Holes and Revelations The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers Thom Yorke - The Eraser Tom Waits - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards Couldn't possibly rank them at this stage, but my favourite so far is definitely Joanna Newsome
I've got shockingly few new alburns this year So I'm taking the opportunity to investigate end-of-year lists and try to do some catching up! Thank goodness for bit torrent I think we need to have honourable mentions for: The Flaming Lips - At war with the mystics Graham Coxon - Love Travels at Illegal Speeds Already mentioned: The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You And I Will Beat Your Ass Others I've enjoyed... The Crimea - Tragedy Rocks Cat Power - The Greatest A couple from the end of last year I didn't hear until this year! Jeffrey Lewis - City and Eastern Songs The Listener - Ozark Empire Still to check out - Bonnie Prince Billy - The Letting Go Mogwai - Mr Beast and Zidane OST ... and Tunng, Belle and Sebastian, TV on the Radio and Joanna Newsome
Heard the new Bob Dylan last night and that was pretty darn good. Just the one listen so far, but I did like it. Also heard Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come" and that seemed canny aswell.
Arctic monkeys album (cant remember the title) Gnarls barkley album St. Elsewhere The Raconteurs album Broken Boy Soldiers
