hoils Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Strange things afoot with the Charli XCX record. Released in the US on the 15th Dec, not in the UK until mid-Feb. That's not going to encourage anyone in the UK to nick it from the internet at all, then. It's bound to be wonderful, of course. Hopefully a return to Glasto for her next year.

Mardy Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 The more I think about, yeah, it's been another cracker of a year for music. That's the thing though, bit of hunting around and there's so much fucking great music out there, loads i"ll never even get the chance to listen to once, yet alone all the good stuff that I don't get to listen enough. Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast. Man, it's fucking wonderful, every year is a vintage year for music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when I'm totally on one I'll think about all the music I've still not gotten into yet and it depresses the shite out of me. Like when I hear a great album by someone who's been going for ages, I'll be dead annoyed that I wasn't into them and enjoying their stuff from the start.

Listening to the radio/postcasts and reading websites/blogs always makes me so frustrated at how little time there is in the day, so much music to mainline!

Amy Lawn Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Los Campesinos! - No Blues Autumn 2013, that one. Fantastic album, mind. Probably my joint favourite of last year (along with Joanna Gruesome and Serafina Steer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 ah i had a feeling it wasn't this year! silly me If you're after a Los Camp release from this year to sink your teeth into (and a seasonal one to boot!) then I would point you in the direction of their new Christmas EP! It's both daft and joyous in equal and generous measure. Postie delivered it today, on snow white vinyl, along with a suitably twee signed Christmas card. V excited to see them in Manchester tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocumaroy Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I downloaded that mac demarco album last night, cos I'd seen it in a couple of album of the year lists. It's not very good, is it? One of my favourites. It's nothing spectacular, I just love the effortlessly lazy, downbeat 'can't really be arsed' vibe. Great for when I'm on a bus going somewhere I don't want to be. A few albums that I've felt that way about recently though, after seeing them on the lists; the Grouper, Hotelier and Angel Olsen albums were my latest underwhelming listens. I want to give Benji by Sun Kil Moon another go, because it sounds like it should be right up my street, but I found it really boring first time, although interesting lyrically. Not particularly hip, but I'm enjoying the new Bryan Ferry album. Honeyblood on now...it's alright, probably won't bother again. I don't know, maybe I'm just listening to too much music, a lot of it doesn't stick. At first I thought it had been a really great year, but in retrospect a lot of the albums I really enjoyed at first aren't really holding up for me so much now I'm going back to them (St Vincent, Tune-Yards, Beck, and Tinashe all come to mind.) There are about 10 I really, really like though. Got rid of the list a few pages ago because I needed to go back and listen to them all again. Hardly changed it at all. Probably won't get round to listening to all of the other probably great stuff I've made a list of, so: 1. The War On Drugs - Lost In The Dream 2. Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens - Cold World 3. The Antlers - Familiars 4. Neneh Cherry - Blank Project 5. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Give The People What They Want 6. Alvvays - Alvvays 7. FKA twigs - LP1 8. People Get Ready - Physiques 9. Owen Pallett - In Conflict 10. Mac DeMarco - Salad Days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRLY Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 The album 'more than any other day' by ought is awesome, one of the year's best. finally a new talking heads. Thankyou for this, absolutely loving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyhana22 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thankyou for this, absolutely loving it Ought played Green Man this summer and were bloomin' fabulous. The singer/guitarist is a proper front man and they are great live - proper, spiky post-punk. They'd do well in JP, I'd think. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 i need to give that Ought album another listen. remember really enjoying it but for some reason never went back to it (probably got distracted by a million other albums) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjwholovesmusic Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 The War on Drugs album is great as is, Pixies, Temples, Coves to name a few. The best for me though and I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet is Ty Segall's, Manipulator. I have played it and played and just think its a brilliant album and definitely one that I can't recommend highly enough. Saw him last month in Manchester and he was just having it. Would be brilliant if he could be included on the Glastonbury line up this year. However I don't currently have a ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Tv on the Radio's new album 'Seeds' is very good. I wouldn't say it's an album of the year contender just yet for me, but well worth a listen or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero000 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I always get slightly depressed when I read everyone's end of year lists. So many (potentially) great albums, which I've missed. It's impossible to keep track. I've got a spotify playlist with albums from this year and it's 53 hours long - horrifying but brilliant at the same time.
