Very good! Just got their new album "islands" yesterday. Got some pretty good tunes on it. Bit ramonesey.
Just downloaded it, wasn't keen on their last one.
Kablammo? thought it was OK. Turned out my mate is friends with the drummer, and I nearly shat myself when he liked a comment I made about it on facebook
TBH, I've not properly loved an album of theirs since Meltdown, though the A to Z singles collection they did had some good tunes.
Yeah Kablmmo, although I only really listened to it a couple of times, gave the new one a couple of listens over the weekend, I liked it, they still know how to write catchy 3 minute tunes.
Goldfrapp - Tales of Us It's been a few years since the first time I listened to this album. Still love it so much. Shame most of Goldfrapp's other albums (except Felt Mountain) sound just completely different, more like dance music.
Driving this morning I had the usual feeling we're all killing time till death (nothing special) and then Lotus Land came on the radio. there's something very Lotusy indeed about the pentatonic scale but arranged for the violin like that does force it out of the high street take away and in just above pancreas junction. https://youtu.be/b7yxajOsexk
Saw My Bloody Valentine at The Institute in Birmingham last night after wanting to see them live for years. They didn't disappoint, it was amazing, have been banging them out all week:

Just about, was the loudest gig I've ever been to by far.
Kind of felt nice after a few songs though, its hard to describe but it felt like the music was just going through my body. Never experienced a gig like it.

I've had this on loop today. No idea what they did to upset the creepy nun though.

Haven’t listened to it for years and now I’m wondering why.

I cannot believe, however, that they neglected to include the absolute showstopper that is Love and Affection, by Joan Armatrading:
