Actively enjoying it all

From Sonic Boom last night:

Amon Tobin- Permutation (Electro jazzy thumpy thumpy shaky shaky stuff- I've been into this lately)
Arcade Fire- Funeral ($9.99 and I was previously told they were sold out! Haven't listened though...)

Great, isn't it.

Sk8r Alex!

Counterparts and Test For Echo - Rush just to complete my Rush main album collection. Not IMO their best albums but " squeaky one" (to quote NL) is less queaky and overall 2 more mellow albums.

Howard

Hawkwind - Master of the Universe £2.99 in HMV I have no idea if its any good but the price is right. Nothing on the insert to say otherwise so I assume its them as it was filed with other Hawkwind CDs.

Howe Gelb's - The Listener (rec. by Matthew R)
Marilyn Manson - Lest We Forget (incl DVD of videos)
Interpol - Antics
Nightwish - Once

I haven't heard any of them yet.

I note the Howe Gelb-let me know what you think. I have 'Confluence' but it is a bit too inconsistent to be a favourite. Have you (or anyone else) heard the new Giant Sand 'Is All Over The Map'?

Got the lastest by the Roots (The Tipping Point) and the Libertines (The Libertines) today.

To soon to talk about yet, but both sound promising.

Bruce,

FWIW I much prefer "The Listener" and "Giant Sand is All Over the Map" to "Confluence". But if you didn't like that latter you might want to try to listen first.

Alex -- New Interpol is ace. Am listening at the moment.

For some reason I just never managed to get into the first Interpol album even though it's the type of stuff I would normally like (I much prefer The Rapture album for instance). I guess their second is more of the same? (It's had pretty good reviews, but then so did the first!)

HI,
A list of recent purchases:
Mark Knopfler - Shangri-la
Frank Sinatra - platinum collection
Chilled Jazz - various
Heather Nova - Storm
Joss Stone - mind body and soul

Bought this week

Blue Nile 'High'. Still undecided about this. A tad uninspired.

Nick Cave 'Abbatoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus'. Excellent, first ever Cave album I've bought, may not be the last.

The Village, Original Soundtrack. Easy on the ear and enjoyable (as was the film).

Interpol - Antics

Firstly, the opening second or two made me think of Embrace. This is a disaster. Luckily this impression went away after about 5 seconds. Ace? Not sure about that, but certainly pretty good.

I prefer The Rapture to both. I think.

Nick Cave

It's hard to go wrong with Nick Cave, IMO.

The Listener is tremendous, although a little 'lounge' in places.

I have Cover Magazine, although it's a long time since I listened to it, so I don't want to draw any comparisons there.

I'm useless, I know.

Eh? Can't talk long (mouth full of banana).

This is easy. Just buy one - any one will do.

Hey, bananamouth, you no like Nick Cave? Seriously?

I really like the Interpol. A notch below the debut but still very good. But then I am sucker for sing-a-long-a-indie doom laden miserableness.

"The Listener is tremendous, although a little 'lounge' in places."

It's the odd quirky curveball that makes his work stand out I think. If you like that you'll definitely like the new Giant Sand.

I had no idea.

I still don't like them though. It's the singers voice, it just drives me nuts. Like the guy in The Music. AAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!

Yes Michael somebody or other. Has a pair of DBLs as I recall.

Matthew

I like Nick Cave.

I've got 'The Good Son' (on vinyl).

Now there's an album you can sing along to.

Regards,

It's not so much that I dislike him, more that I think that a goat with a pineapple stuck up its arse could sing better, and he couldn't write a decent tune if Lennon & McCartney did it for him.

Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks

Thanks to Matthew R for the heads up.

You know my thoughts on this particular matter.

Have you heard The Boatmans Call?
