Is : Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw
Post-rocky in a 'played like conventional heavy metal done quietly' kind of way. Apparently Pelican are an offshoot of Tusk, who I've never heard of. Picked up randomly at the w/e as the blurb in Branson Records said 'if you like GSYBE, Mogwai and Janes Addiction you'll like this.'
And I do, so far.
Was : Pole Folder.
Hmmmmm - their sub-Dido choice of vocalists spoils a promising debut. Not sure this will remain in the library for long.

If you can get a copy I seriously recommend it, although probably not to everyones taste.

My first time hearing this. 211 Amazon reviews (a perfect 5 out of 5), and apparently it's everybody's favorite album of all time, anywhere, ever.
I'm still listening for the amazing bits. S'nice, s'ok, s'pleasant enough, but...

Hey now, back on the chair. Still listening... maybe it's a grower...alexgerrard said:

Don't judge anything by my reaction, I don't rate the Beetles.
TBH I don't know what was more surprising to me, is all - that a music lover had only just got round to listening to something so highly regarded, or that it didn't set your heart aflutter immediately.
Taste is personal, if you don't like the best album ever recorded in the history of music, that's entirely your choice...

John Squire is releasing patchy solo stuff, IMO.

Karma, ne?
Was: Ben Harper - Diamonds On The Inside.... in the car on the way to Edinburgh.
Think Ben has run his course...the mesaage seems a bit Hackneyed now....
Then: Athlete - Tourist...also in the car
hmmm... thought this was a grower but petered (sp?) out towards the end.
Thankfully Bjork made the journey bearable.

Proof reading not always a strength
So far today:
Magic Numbers. Bought on spec while doing the shopping and after reading about their totp walkout. A nice summer pop record, mre 80s than the lazy 60s refs I'd read about - which is good. Does have some touches of The Beautiful South in places, which should be unforgivable, but also hints of a poppy David Gedge to balance the score.
Byrne/Eno: My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Post holiday penury so digging out some old vinyl. This is, of course, wonderful and makes me want to upgrade the Planer3.
Fire Engines: Lubricate Your Living Room - more old vinyl - what a fabulous record.
Husker Du: New Day Rising - ditto
Makes me wonder whether I might no get more pleasure by not getting any new stuff for 6 months and going through the archives.

Not sure I like their lead singer's voice, but the rest is fun enough.
