Yes

 

[Cryptid]

The new one from Uzi & Ari, Headworms, is pretty nice. I've just given it one listen but I like what I hear thus far. Nice tunes.

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

I would've said Visiter by Dodos, but that record needs some serious editing.

couldn't agree more.

cass mc combs dropping the writ

I really can't wait for cass' new album. he played most of it at the whelans and it was sublime.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

ok so off the top of my head, stuff that impressed me this year, bearing in mind I'm gonna forget loads of them, are...

Why? - Alopecia

Atlas Sound - Let The Blind Lead.....

Deerhunter - Microcastle

Melvins - Nude With Boots

Giveamanakick - Welcome To The Cusp

Jape - Ritual

kind of a return to listening to more melodic stuff for me. finally got around to listening to loads of stuff i'd missed over the years like loadsa "stoner" and grindcore stuff.

EDIT: oh yeah High Places album was lovely too! And the Animal Collective EP too!

Ari and Uzi?!

YouTube - The Royal Tenenbaums - Uzi and Ari

Great dialogue there. Class movie. They're playing the ballroom in March so I gave them an auld lishen to see what they is like.. more stuff here.. http://www.myspace.com/benshepard or http://www.google.com/search?name=f&hl=en&q=ari+&+uzi+headworms

 

[Unclealo]

Yep Uzi and Ari Ballroom in January. Details here

 

[Moods For Mallards]

I too am looking forward to that Uzi and Ari gig.
To be honest, I hadn't heard of them before the gig was announced but it turns out they're class.

 

[Alan Remorse]

Yeah, Uzi And Ari are cool. I got into them about a year or so ago, that last album is class. got the new album but haven't had a listen yet.

 

[Divil A Bit]

Don't get too many new albums really but Bon Iver's is fantastic, The Walkmen one ain't bad, Fleet Foxes v.nice, Jape's was a little disappointing to be brutally honest (though I love Jape), Why? are growing on me, and Little Dragon has an amazing singer.

Sorry kids but these times just don't come near the early 1980's for new sounds, not to mention the 1990's.
There's always next year I suppose. Waiting to hear the new Dinah Brand record and my own one...

 

[Anthony]

Yeah, Uzi And Ari are cool. I got into them about a year or so ago,

pfft. Only a year ago!

 

[Space]

I listen to old Iron Maiden, AC/DC and Thin Lizzy albums exclusively,
so I'll just go for Adebisi Shank's release.

What about Disfear Live the storm?

Mine:

The Devil and the Sea - Heart vs Spine
Disfear - Live the Storm
Moutpiece - s/t
Harvey Milk - Life: the best game in town
Seadog - Wizards of the Coast

Honourable mention goes to Earthless live at Roadburn as I haven't got a chance to have some quality time with it yet.
