Not sure if this is the relevant thread... 

Seen Squid last night at Yes in Manchester, and wow, what a gig. Caught them at Glasto and thought they were fantastic but last night exceeded that by far. Their debut EP has been well received so hopefully they’ll be back on the farm. 
 

Fancied that but was at Black Midi at White Hotel instead, they were great in the basement in July though. I'm pleasantly surprised at how much attention they're getting at the moment, they're in loadsa publications and made it into the 6Music playlist. Dunno where they'd end up if the played again next year.

Likewise with Black Midi - little annoyed both were booked for the same night!

Considering it was midday they had a relatively decent crowd at Glasto (didnt make the other set due to clashes), so if they contiue to drop banger after banger, like the whole of their town centre EP, then its anyone's guess! Ended with Match Bet last night and IMO it received a better reception than Houseplants did!

Made a conscious effort to get there in plenty of time for the support act last night and it did not disappoint. Visuals were spectacular and accompanied the music perfectly. 

At £10 a ticket last night was an absolute steal

Always good to catch support acts regardless, chance to see some really good acts that might not be or on your radar or so easy to see next time!  Girl Ray, Wood Burning Savages, Peaness, Spector, Matthew & The Atlas, Gaz Brookfield, Ferocious Dog, Staves & Bare Jams have all been well worth catching!

Footnote: admittedly you run the risk of catching some absolute dogshite, but there's always the bar

Gaz Brookfield's playing The Monarch in Camden on 13th Nov for anyone interested. Great fun and a really nice guy. Played a few open mics with him back in Bristol 2009-2012 time and was always a lovely lad despite being 100 times better than anyone else.

Girl Ray are great, too.

Came out earlier in the year but goddamn that 100 gecs album is gnarly isnt it. Cant tell if I love or hate it. Theyd be great early on The Park (XCX takeover day?) though I doubt they'll be booked.

New Courteeners here

Bitch Im Blessed

The drop feels so 2012, its a bit cringe. Like the verses though and I like Kesha a lot more when she does just fun songs like this than some of the slower cuts from Rainbow

[Mattymooz]

Also apparently Adele is dropping a new single tonight...

New coldplay is a bit strange,  not what I was expecting

Didn't hate either of the two new songs tbf. Seems like they're experimenting a bit again like they did on Viva La Vida, which makes for far more interesting music than their bland last album. 

[RarerThanDandyB]

New Coldplay tracks are really good, didn’t expect it. I’m glad and it makes them headlining again more bearable if they do. 

[Guy Incognito]

Quite funny that when Chris Martin said the new Coldplay record was gonna be ''experimental'' what he actually meant was that he was gonna sign in French for a little bit.

Very good.

[Mattymooz]

Shit this week is stacked for album releases. King Princess, SebastiAn, Kanye West, Rex Orange County, Gallant, Amon Tobin, Blaenavon, Michael Kiwanuka, Underworld, Magic Sword, Verite, PVRIS and then maybe Adele too (wasn't FKA Twigs also due out today too? Kinda glad that one got pushed back)

[Quark]

I think I like those Coldplay tracks. Orphans doesn't sound a mile away from their other recent stuff, but Arabesque is definitely different. It'll take another couple of listens, but fair play for doing something different.

New Stereophonics on the other hand...it certainly...exists. I mean that's pretty much all I can say.

Martin Christopher and the lads playing fast and loose with the term 'experimental'

Experimenting, aka trying to be a little less shite than you’re accustomed to these days. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

That new Courteeners tune (not LJ).... less shite than usual. Very much "meh", but "meh" is better than "turd".

The Chris Martin supergroup - 1 of the tunes (Arabesque?) is not that bad. Probably as there is an effect to make Señor Martin sound slightly less dull.

The other is as said above in my opinion, just less shite than normal.

New album from London Elektricity is sweeeeet

Completely slipped under my radar until I spotted it on Deezer's recommended releases.  

[Tommy101]

Enjoyed the Dessert Sessions. Would have liked more of it though!

[Amy Lawn]

Ive been on non-stop Caroline Polachek for a week over here. Shit is incredible.
