[ddmurph]

will someone please make me a comp featuring supersilent, comets on fire, part chimp, les georges leningrad, double leopards and black dice please? thanks. if i like them, i'll try to bring them over so that may be worth someone's while. i just don't have my finger on the pulse any more, i need help.

i'll try and do an mp3 compilation for saturday for you if you want. only heard a few bits and bobs from les georges leningrad and part chimp though so someone else'll have to help you out there.

Its been a bad year for music for me.

me too. it seems that maybe 1 in 4 records i buy i actually listen to more than a couple of times...

but then, i got into ENVY this year, so that nearly makes up for it

Tinariwen
Chris Corsano & Paul Flaherty

I love LFK, such a shame they split up. Have you heard Bows? Don't make the mistake I did and assume Luke Sutherland will be as good a writer - argh... Jellyroll is one of the worst books I have ever read.

 

[Unclealo]

Oneida
Liars
Faust
Can
King Crimson
Magma
Mosaik

have all been floating my boat of late

Ah that's a deadly album actually. See it's only when other people point 'em out that I remember new stuff that I bought and liked this year. For the uniniated they are Tuareg/Berber types from the Sahara that play electric guitars ... really cool stuff

Hurrah! Now I have Robot in my head. That ought to cheer me up.

The best thing is our life span (i don't mind)
We last nigh on hundred years (i don't mind)
If that means we'll be together i don't mind
I have no mind, i have no mind

So do I. that's mad init

that whole futureheads album is like superglue.

 

[Space]

superglue? Like catchy?

 

[minka]

Tinariwen

ooh, yes, forgot about them as well. i obviously also needed to be reminded of the things i liked this year, the ould brain cells obviously aren't what they used to be...

 

[moc]

none of them new as such but...


the postal service
broken social scene
the album leaf
pretty girls make graves
lali puna

Is this album good? I saw these on later with Jools Holland about a year ago and was blown away but never followed up on it.

Chris Corsano & Paul Flaherty

Too right! These were the first thing that came to mind when I thought about musical discoveries this year. Hardly something old discovered though. If you mean the brand of free jazz they're playing, well...

Have to agree with the sentiment overall though. This year I was not particularly excited with current music. I have been discovering Studio 1, various jazz, various other old stuff.

oh and giraffe running
daemien frost are still terrible though

Well, I was referring to both seeing them at Glastonbury (having only heard of them before that) as well as the album. But "Amassakoul" is indeed well worth getting.

By "old", I meant "been around a while and I might have heard of them, but had never actually heard/seen until 2004". They (and the others I mentioned) definitely fit into that category.

[Alan Remorse]

actually, criteria's "en garde" album was a nice discovery. but then, i knew about it well in advance due to White Octave involvement, so does that count has a discovery?

Alan, the number of people who have flagrently broken the rools of this thread is a disgrace. Top 5's have turned into top 40's or top 28's or top 16's.

So it doesn't really matter if it's a discovery or not.
