JawD 31 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I've been listening to Laura Marling, canny like for chilling on a Sunday when the kids are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I dont listen to as much new music as I should, stuck in the past and all that. Much of this year I've been getting into Band of skulls. The new Primal Scream album is worth a listen. Today though I grabbed this : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 From the tracks that have been released I will say Temples. Looking forward to the album. http://m.vevo.com/watch/temples/keep-in-the-dark/UK32S2222278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 It begins... 1 BJORK VULNICURA 2 FATHER JOHN MISTY I LOVE YOU, HONEYBEAR 3 COURTNEY BARNETT SOMETIMES I SIT AND THINK.. 4 EZRA FURMAN PERPETUAL MOTION PEOPLE 5 MAX RICHTER FROM SLEEP 6 WOLF ALICE MY LOVE IS COOL 7 KAMASI WASHINGTON THE EPIC 8 ROYAL HEADACHE HIGH 9 ROMARE PROJECTIONS 10 JAMIE XX IN COLOUR http://www.roughtrade.com/aoty15 Think Kamasi Washington was my favourite from those (that I heard) Think they've placed Kendrick Lamaar outside the top 10 to be different though. Expect it to top the vast majority of lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12737 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 That Ezra Furman album is excellent. One of my favourites from this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Courtney Barnett is my favourite of those (possibly of the year) but I've just listened to that Ezra Furman album and I like that a lot on first listen. His voice reminds of o Destroyer and Brakes. Didn't think much of the Kendrick Lamaar album but then again I didn't really like his last one either.

David Kelly 1115 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Courtney Barnett, Sleater Kinney, John Grant, Joanna Newsome, Destroyer, New Order, Modest Mouse, Beach House and Blur are probably my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene_Clark 12 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 1. Trembling Bells – The Sovereign Self; amazing Scottish proggy, folky, late 60s/early 70s hippy, trippy genius. 2. Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress; astonishing, orchestral avant garde post rock from the Quebecois octet. 3. Band of Holy Joy – The Land of Holy Joy; they’ve been going over 30 years, but this is their finest Brechtian, Klezmer waltz through the capital’s ripped backside in over 25 years. 4. The Pop Group – Citizen Zombie; venerable, reformed post punk iconoclasts rage and howl at the evils of the modern world. Essential. 5. Wire – Wire; nearly 40 years in and the very definition of angular, awkward belligerence on one of their most compelling releases in 30 years 6. Penetration – Resolution; Ferryhill’s finest’s first album since 79 and it contains 5 solid gold classics. Buy this. 7. British Sea Power – Sea of Brass; the world’s cleverest indie band reimagine 14 classics with full orchestral backing. Simply adorable. 8. Euros Childs – Sweetheart; the annual slice of sweet, beautiful pop by the world’s most modest man. 9. Yo La Tengo – Stuff Like That There; quiet, homely acoustic re-treads of some favourites and parts of their back catalogue. Warm. 10. Gang of Four – What Happens Next; Andy Gill is the Gang of One these days, but it’s a fiery soup of righteous anguish and anger he produces. 11. Fairport Convention – Myths & Heroes; a lovely collection of down-to-earth proper folk roots by the incomparable masters of their craft. 12. Jad Fair & Norman Blake – Yes; community service C86 by numbers while we anxiously await the new TFC album. 13. The Fall – Sub Lingual Tablet; elderly drunk rants incoherently over the top of uninspired Killing Joke style sludge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14528 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I've heard of almost a few of them. I've listened to one out of one hundred and obviously that was dark star Missed out on a lot this year music wise, didn't know Swans, Death in Vegas and PJ Harvey had released material. Out of the "new" (to me!) stuff on the list I've heard some of the Savages stuff so may give that a whirl.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Anderson Paak is artist of the year for me, absolutely stunning live with his band The Free Nationals. Singer, rapper, drummer, piano player, producer of soul, funk, hip hop and house. Even rocks it on this special. Talented lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get caught up. Any list that includes Wilco should just be ignored, fuck they are boring. A Weird Exit is good but far from the best Thee Oh Sees have released; they are just about to release another album, Odd Entrances, on 2 Dec which from the streams is better than a Weird Exit. The older I get the more I realise music journos and magazines are generally clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 My worst year yet for music. Think I'm at the dad stage where I need to concentrate on the artists I know I like rather than listening to something new every time i get the chance to put my earphones on. The Ty Segall album is the only one I've got to know from start to finish. Only the second of his many albums I've got. Loved it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 ...and listening to the Wilco one was enjoyable for me, but I know what you are saying, it was only because it was like putting on a comfy old pair of slippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
