[EastStandBlue]

The whole Kooks album was great...

Stand out songs were Seaside, See The World, Sofa Song, Eddie's Gun, Ooh La, You Don't Love Me, She Moves in her Own Way, Matchbox and Naive. Great album.

Gnarles Barkley - Crazy and Smiley Faces... The rest of the album is pants. Didn't quite get the song about Necrophilia

Arctic Monkeys album was pretty good, but not as good as Inside In/Inside Out.

The Automatic's aren't bad either, Heard Razorlights new album is meant to be fantastic...

Hard-Fi are decent too. Better Do Better, Living for the Weekend, cash Machine and Tied up too tight were good tracks.

Bugger. I forgot about 'Life On Mars' by David Bowie. Knew this would happen, there's just too many great songs.

Just discovered a few gems from the last couple of years that won't leave my stereo...
1) Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene.
Absolute gem of an album with so much diversity.
2) Tilly and the Wall - I think it's new, but very different. for the quirkier moods...
3) Death Cab For Cutie - Plans.
Loads of good melodies. Sunshine record...
4) Anything by Iron and Wine...very chilled. Acoustic, but better than your bloody David Grays...

Here here Mr Sir that says in listening to Television that Razorlight have a lot to learn...

Had the album since March

Instead of a drummer they have a tap dancer.

How good is that.

Very good shouts - I really love that last BSS album and Sam Beam is a hugely underrated talent. As you say, how the likes of David Gray have an audience when there's people like Beam doing it 1,000,000 better is beyond me.
