Pancake Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Neil Young - 'Greatest Hits' for today's commute.
SuperMikey Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 [video=youtube;JnaGs-r0zzU] This has been bouncing around my head all week, love Metric going all the way back to Monster Hospital years ago. New album this year hopefully!
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 30 January, 2015 Posted 30 January, 2015 Just stumbled across this, which I really enjoyed. Need more from both Joy Formidable & Passion Put in my life
Pancake Posted 30 January, 2015 Posted 30 January, 2015 DJ Shadow - Entropy (Hip Hop Reconstruction from the Ground Up)
bridge too far Posted 30 January, 2015 Posted 30 January, 2015 Watching / listening to Sea Sick Steve at Cropredy - don't know which channel. Love that guy

SuperMikey Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted this guy tonnes of times in this thread already, but this is a cut off his new album. He's teamed up with Blacksmith (who I have never heard of) to make more of a collective album than it just being Dan and a guitar. There's a lot of quite atmospheric, downbeat stuff on the album but this is the lead single - pretty catchy and fun.

SuperMikey Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 22 years old and this album is still better than any rapper's produced since.
TheCholulaKid Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 We'll go to Green Man again instead, they should have a line up announcement soon. Likewise - a bargain for kids too.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 3 February, 2015 Posted 3 February, 2015 (edited) They'll probably play a few more dates while they are here. It's one of the best things about festival season, there's just loads of gigs everywhere. I went to EOTR from the beginning but they've priced me out. Tickets for us and a 2 kids aged 6 and 9 cost £540. It's £75 for a 6yo!!! That's nuts. Hence while I'll wait until just before and try to get one cheap off a last minute desperate seller. We'll go to Green Man again instead, they should have a line up announcement soon. Wouldn't normally put this here, but as we were talking about it: http://www.greenman.net/ Looks impressive so far, better than Reading & Leeds which is having a stinker.

Goat, Calexico and Hookworms is exciting. St Vincent I know is good but I'm not overly fussed. Hot Chip I can't stand. Decent start to the line up. I haven't seen Reading & Leeds yet.

I kinda like Hot Chip... http://www.readingfestival.com/line-up
pap Posted 3 February, 2015 Posted 3 February, 2015 This is a few years old now, but I've recently discovered it. Turn the bass up and enjoy.

I kinda like Hot Chip... http://www.readingfestival.com/line-up St Vincent played with David Byrne at EOTR last time I was there but I went to watch someone else (possibly Dinosaur Jr) Hot Chip make smug dance music, and there's no need for that!
The Cat Posted 3 February, 2015 Posted 3 February, 2015 Just looked at the Reading line up. Mumford & Sons!!! HAHAHAHA. That's God damn hilarious!!!
The Cat Posted 3 February, 2015 Posted 3 February, 2015 Hot Chip are to dance music what Mumford & Sons are to folk. Sorry KRG.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 3 February, 2015 Posted 3 February, 2015 Just looked at the Reading line up. Mumford & Sons!!! HAHAHAHA. That's God damn hilarious!!! Yeah, it's shockingly poor. Hot Chip are to dance music what Mumford & Sons are to folk. Sorry KRG. I don't really think of them as Dance Music, it's more inoffensive pop I think. Saw a bit of them at a Festival and they were quite enjoyable, like some of their tracks. Can take or leave them really.
The Cat Posted 3 February, 2015 Posted 3 February, 2015 Yeah, it's shockingly poor. No doubt there will be a few thousand Metallica fans rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of bottling Mumford off.
TheCholulaKid Posted 3 February, 2015 Posted 3 February, 2015 Sleepy Sun - Embrace (been too long since I listened to this) Tickets booked for Green Man. Sum total of £15 for my kids - the best education they'll get (as long as I keep them away from Hot Chip - a slightly less worse version of Groove Armada) See you at Hookworms/Calexico/Goat/Viet Cong.

Nice. I'll be getting our tickets soon. How old are your kids? Ours are 9 & 6. They've been to plenty of festivals but last year's Green Man was their favourite. We did the whole week and it was well worth it. Bands every evening, games for kids to play and the chance to explore the Beacons. There's also a quality pub in the next village whose selection of ales and burgers nearly matches the Rockstone. We'll do the same again this year.

Cheers for the pub heads up. James McMurtry - Childish Things
dan abnormal Posted 4 February, 2015 Posted 4 February, 2015 The Replacements are doing a gig in the UK this year so getting myself suitably hyped by listening to this gem of an album.

Cheers for the pub heads up. James McMurtry - Childish Things There's loads there for kids to do, they could never get bored. Hopefully the Flying Seagulls will be back. They're a charity who spend all summer touring festivals to make enough money to head off to small villages in poor countries and entertain kids there. We've seen them at a few festivals and they are amazing. More than likely you'll spend a good proportion of your days being just as entertained by them as the kids will be. http://www.theflyingseagullproject.com/
Pancake Posted 5 February, 2015 Posted 5 February, 2015 Queen - Live At The Rainbow 74 Awesome, band at its best.
The Cat Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 Pedestrian At Best by Courtney Barnett [video=youtube;o-nr1nNC3ds]
SuperMikey Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 This is a catchy little number! I'm still not sure who won though..
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 Pedestrian At Best by Courtney Barnett [video=youtube;o-nr1nNC3ds] Love Ms Barnett. Seeing her in Camden in April.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 They just had the new Hot Chip track on 6music, TC is gonna hate it
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 Was it any good? Meh, it was alright. Likeable enough, nothing special though. Kind of fits in with my general feelings on Hot Chip to be honest.
lifeintheslowlane Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 From a live BBC 6 Music session. Looking forward to their forthcoming new album, (23rd Feb) "The Race for Space."...hope it's up to this standard.

Keen for that album.
The Cat Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Some 1970's Italian psych funk by Giuliano Sorgini which has just been rereleased on vinyl. Gonna get me some of that.
SuperMikey Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfN47EYLT3I Beautifully melancholic soundtrack to the Spike Jonze film 'Her'.
Hamilton Saint Posted 13 February, 2015 Posted 13 February, 2015 Ambient 2: "The Plateaux of Mirror" by Brian Eno and Harold Budd. Beautiful and mesmeric!
lifeintheslowlane Posted 13 February, 2015 Posted 13 February, 2015 Plugging one of my favourites...again. People won't say, "Hey she sounds like..." she doesn't sound like anyone else. The video is good/a bit wacky, but her voice has a restrained power...you know she could blow you out of the water at any time.
