Keiran Leonard - Grapefruit. Only just started on this and absolutley love it so far

Listened to the M83 album and yeah, it's not great is it? I like the three they released before the album, Go! especially, but the only other two on the album I like are Laser Gun and Road Blaster. Obviously it's more similar to Hurry Up, We're Dreaming than all of their other albums and I think the main problem I have with it is that it's just nowhere near as fun as Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. I know not everyone on here is a fan of the frog song but even the song on Junk which the girl from it pops up on is just so dull compared to the frog song, even Susanne Sundfør can't save it!

Frightened Rabbit's album is good though, I still don't think they've ever topped The Midnight Organ Fight but this is another solid album. Definitely has more of an influence from The National as someone mentioned above, although perhaps that's to be expected given that one of the Dessner's produced it.

I listened to Kevin Morby's new album yesterday as well which is good. Hadn't heard of him until earlier this week but found this song on youtube and it's really good

I get that my tastes do not match those of most on here, that's fine, the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same stuff and all that. I get that although I may not like something, I can see the artistic merit in it and understand why they are popular. I also get that people would mock some stuff I like and I can accept that.

Every now and then though, a band gets a lot of praise on here and it absolutely baffles me why it is the case. 

The most recent of these is yer M83*. Just dreadful stuff, incomprehensible to me why someone would choose to listen to it.

'Crows' have a new EP out. It's a grower, but I like it a lot:

If you've not seen them live you really should - a top-notch live band, and a lot louder and rawer than this EP makes them sound (check their other tracks 'Pray' and 'Crawling' for more of a clue to their live sound).

gave Junk multiple listens now and have gone from thinking 'this is okay' to 'this is pretty shite'. i expected it to be pretty goofy and silly but overall fun, but it's actually just pretty fucking boring. such a shame. especially as this is the album they're finally doing Glastonbury on. hopefully they'll still be good live, although i'm now not quite as bothered if they're caught up in a clash, especially after seeing that setlist. think i'm mostly excited to just hear Midnight City go off

New King Gizzard album is AMAZING. They've basically made a massive 40 minute prog track that loops back on itself. It's blistering, relentless, and absolutely mad. Got to be their best album yet and the best thing I've heard so far this year. Make sure you check it out everyone.

Details of the various releases of the 65dos No Man's Sky soundtrack are here http://65daysofstatic.com/ not sure what to get!

They promise "many more shows" this year. I bloody hope so because fuck driving to Hebden Bridge. A return to Glastonbury would be amazing.

Just listened to the NMS track they released and it's INCREDIBLE. 

Here it is if anyone wants a listen: 

Really hope they turn up. Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky and 65days would almost be too much for one festival haha! Are they exclusive to the Blue Dot festival thing?

Also, it pains me that No Man's Sky is released the day I head down to Glastonbury. Two highlights of the year at once :P

Can you imagine if there was some sort of No Man's Sky, Sean Murray, 65daysof gimmick at Glastonbury? A show in the JPT with Sean Murray playing the game with 65days playing live?!

The Blue Dot line-up is pretty stellar, isn't it? Sadly I'm a strictly one-festival-per-year man. I'd love 65dos to play Glastonbury too.

Love this track too - thanks for embedding, jparx

No problem Ben. 65dos are ace, and more people need to know that!

Last time they played there was a proper bastard clash (I think it was them vs Dinosaur Jr) so I ended up having to miss them. There'd better be no such shenanigans if they come back this year.

Definitely wasn't Dinosaur Jr.  I do remember them being on at the same time as both Frightened Rabbit and Tame Impala, though.  Opted for 65dos and don't regret it one bit!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
