In Rainbows - this is that strange and wonderful musical beast, the album that gets better with each listen. For a while people who’s opinion I rate have been whispering that this is Radiohead’s best album, and I’m starting to concur.

 

You know I havent played that for ages, going to have to dig it out now and Ive it a, errrr... "process"? Whats the modern version of "spin" for digital files?

Whilst I think it loses something in translation, technically I think it's "decode" (assuming your files are compressed in some way).

In Rainbows 2 is worth a listen too, its about 30 minutes worth of stuff that didn’t make it onto the first album, and whilst some of the tracks sound a bit b-sidey, it has some absolute corkers - 4 Minute Warning being one of their best ever tracks IMO.

Snap. This has on in my car for the last 2 days. When did "2" come out and is it on CD form or do I have to get all "teckie" and learn how to dwnload? :)

Blakroc - Blakroc

 

Not sure about this. I love the Black Keys and this collaboration with some rap people is good in places but doesn't work in other places. For me, the rap overtakes the rocky blues, and I like the rocky blues.

 

Fyfe Dangerfield - Fly Yellow Moon

 

A couple of songs that are below average but some brilliant and beautiful songs. Slow ballards, some sounding like the Guillemots.
