Yes captain, Ys is my top album of last year as it happens. genius.

Other highlights would include [in no particular order]:

the first Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (follow up very disappointing),

Camera Obscura - Lets get out of this Country,

Victorian English Gentlemen - Last Night becomes this morning

Cat Power - The Greatest

Architecture In Helsinki - In case we die

Yo La Tengo - I am not afraid of you and I will kick your ass

Howling Bells - eponymous

Midlake - the trials of van occupanther

I'm From Barcelona - Let me introduce you...

Seafood - Paper Crown King

Whew, and that's with a vicious editor's pen

And a moments silence for Grandaddy RIP.

[Keef]

Joe I could be up for a jam... Piers, can you put a link here to This Bleeding Heart Show, on YouTube? If people haven't heard it, they bloody well should! New Pornographers anyone?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Mockney Piers again showing his taste, this time through music. Pretty impressive postings from everyone

I remember going to see Arcade Fire at the Sheffield Leadmill last year (pretty much last show they played before disappearing) and I said to my partner this would be last time we saw them anywhere so small.

I had NO IDEA however that they would sell out the Academy in brixton several nights running. Good on 'em

I would add to anyones list, former ED resident Cathal Coughlan. Sometimes I do this too forcefully but still..

[mockney piers]

I found this keef. It's a bit rough around the edges but hear you go (geddit?)

[CrystalClear]

I am mostly listening to:

At the drive in

god speed you black emperor

jenny lewis and the watson twins

modest mouse

regina spektor

smog

sufjan stevens

the decemberists

the fratellis

also have to mention the new pornogrohers (well, the bleeding herat show), buck 65 and devil eyes, bit of joanne newsome (ys on the to buy list)sigur ros and hopp?polla.

I mostly listen to Neutral Milk Hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea. I have done for a while now!

[blinder999]

I mostly listen to Neutral Milk Hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea.

I liked this album so much I bought the vinyl version too, and the 7" limited edition picture disc of Holland 1945, despite not having a record player:-S

[mockney piers]

I do genuinely believe it's one of the best albums ever made, and I add no qualifiers here at all whatsoever.

[CrystalClear]

Think I'd do the same blinder (if I'd thought of it!). I listen to it all the time, but its still exciting, fresh, interesting etc.

[for the top comment]

[CrystalClear]

that really didn't work.

[Keef]

Went to see Jet a Hammersmith Apollo last night. For those who don't know them, they're a Melbourne outfit.

Jet are not a band you'd ever accuse of originality, they sound like AC/DC, and the Rolling Stones, with bits of Beatles, Oasis, U2 and various others thrown in... However, they're good at what they do, and it was a fun energetic gig, and the lights were fantastic, although my friend felt they were a bit too much, as it made it quite difficult to actually watch the band, and people were turning their heads away so as to avoid having their retinas burnt out!!!

Also, for anyone in to their rock, it's rumoured (please let it be true), that the reformed Smashing Pumkins will be headlining Reading this year along with the Chilli Peppers..... Saw the Smashing Pumkins when I was about 16 (around 94), and it was the loudest gig I've ever been to!!! >:D<

[Muttley]

Saint-Saens.

[capt_birdseye]

I think we need a Musical equivalent of a book club. Get together semi-regularly in a location that serves alcohol, and discuss music and make recommendations to like-minded folk. I'm off to hunt down this so-called "Neutral Milk Hotel ".

[swiders]

keef - still to this day, no matter how many gigs i've been to, the pumpkins melon collie tour was the best concert I have ever seen. to start the whole gig with the steve mcqueen car chase on a massive screen was $%?&! dynamite. support act was Def FX - part Goth/Punk outfit. ahhh......psychoactive summer like no other....

[capt_birdseye]

We may have to take thi to the lounge....

Fugazi, Brixton Academy 1992 - a life-changing experience.

[ben]

I haven't done tango at Thomas Moore but I did do tango at the Horniman museum a year ago. Not sure if its the same people doing both - they were called Mandacaru Dance theatre. Was good fun and were fun people there. By the way Polly, congrats on the engagement!

[Polly D]

Thanks Ko for both! I think it must be a different company but will investigate further.

Doubt I'll be at the GM as I'll be at the Flow festival In Helsinki but that Tunng record is great.

Now listening to -

a selection of Sea and Cake. Tortoise and Kryzstof Komeda

[mockney piers]

Flippin' eck. just got back from helsinki(5 moths ago ignore me). cool place.

[ratty]

Pogues

That's it!

[Keef]

I love going to see The Pogues at Brixton for their yearly christmas gigs, Fairytale in New York just makes you feel festive, and the Academy just turns in to a big Irish pub for the night ;-)

[mockney piers]

Of course you could just go to The Swan, which really IS a big irish pub that plays the pogues (on cd) all the time.
