The new Beth Orton is a shocker. A proper 24 carat stinker. 

As is the new Frightened Rabbit, full of bombast and self-importance. Like Simple Minds at their worst.

So we're halfway in... What's everyone's top 3 so far?

1) Beyoncé - Lemonade

2) Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool

3) Kiran Leonard - Grapefruit 

 

P.S. I've not been as active with new music this year, so will check out anything people throw in there.

Not new as such, well not new at all but how have I missed out on Cut Copy down the years? Just listening to their stuff now. Have heard a few in passing but had no idea who they were. There are a few bands I have got into late and been gutted as it felt like I missed out on something. Can add Cut Copy to that list now.

I missed out on so much good music in the noughties and only just catching up with it all now.

Presumably you're aware of Jagwar Ma?  I'd guess the Venn diagram of people who like those bands is essentially a circle.

I'm going to dedicate this evening to getting through that James Blake album @TomViolence, I've been told by so many people that I need to. I actually caught him playing Retrograde when he played the Park in 2014(?), t was pretty impressive, though I've always liked that tune - just couldn't get into the album.

Yeah I thought they sounded like a dodgy Madchester band. Gave them another go over the weekend after they were recommended on here. Still a bit nonplussed with them. Reminded me of a poor mans Paris Angels.

I thought they were worlds apart from Cut/Copy though. Cut/Copy are everything I so so wanted LCD Soundsystem to be.

Really??  Fair enough.  I quite like them, but I wouldn't say that.

LCD leave me cold. It is all a bit too kool for skool and a tad pretentious for my tastes. Cut/Copy have a warmth and feeling about them, which I don't hear in LCD.

You'll have to set aside a fair chunk of your evening (it clocks in at around 76 minutes) but hopefully it'll be worthwhile!

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you there... I liked Overgrown when it came out but as time has gone on I just can't get back into it and it's only a few tracks that stand out for me now (Retrograde, Life Round Here, Take Me For a Fall and the title track).

    • 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. 🙂
