Drunk Girls by LCD Soundsystem

Makes me smile every time it's on the radio (which is nearly hourly on 6!)

At first it sounds like a dumb teenagers song, but then some of the lyrics are wonderfully sweet.

Drunk girls know that love is an astronaut

It comes back, but it's never the same

Broken Record Prayers by Comet Gain.

They're one of the few proper bands I saw play Darlington, and this compilation is a blend of marvellous nostalgia and startling discovery.

I thought they'd quit years ago, so I'm pleased to see that they're still going.

As Wiki says - sort of Bruce Springsteen meets Joy Division. As seen on Jools last night.

A lovely spoof (by Alan Parker) of the equally lovely Orb record.

Innervisions - Stevie Wonder (1973).

The song 'Jesus Children of America' came into my head at work today, so I downloaded the album. It's been a while since I listened to it - was a favourite in my dad's vinyl collection.

Karen Elson ~ The Ghost Who Walks

That's Mrs Jack White to you and me. As the reviews said "Supermodel marries rock star and records album is a formula unlikely to work but here it does". It's great stuff, rootsy Americana with a country twinge but always a sinister Nick Cave-esque undertone.

Powderfinger - Golden Rule

Their posters were EVERYWHERE whilst we were in Aus, didn't really catch up with them til we got back and I am loving the sound!

Now to root out the back catalogue

Elephant9 - Walk the Nile

Norwegian jazz/prog trio. Keyboards (mostly Hammond), bass and drums. Wonderful stuff.

From a review on the Beeb:

Quote

It may only contain six tracks, but there’s no shortage of imagination on show throughout this second album from Norwegian show-stoppers Elephant9, favourites on the European jazz scene and purveyors of some of the most dazzling, dizzying instrumental music this side of a dance-world sub-genre yet to pass.

That said, this trio – Ståle Storløkken, Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen and Torstein Lofthus – might well be key players in whatever form any future dance designs may take, such is their delirious abandonment here, their delivery of propulsive percussion and thick organ guaranteed to set toes tapping. Truly, it’s a set that engages from the off and relents only briefly, during the opening minutes of the title-track, resulting in the sort of sensory onslaught usually reserved for the mightiest of metal acts, or the most affecting of post-rockers. Indeed, there are elements to Elephant9’s sound that echo the slow-shifting soundscapes of the post-rock elite; yet the package here is more vibrant of execution, a consistently high tempo demanding reaction where could-be peer groups would noodle their audience into a catatonic state.

Another excellent Emusic find!

I stumbled upon this while researching my summer holiday destination!

Sad Day We Left The Croft bei MySpace Musik - Kostenlos MP3s anhÃ¶ren, Bilder & Musikvideos ansehen

and the excellent documentary in three parts on youtube about the 1980's punk experience on the Isle of Lewis. Brilliant!
