I've been listening to loads of dance music, so Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, Justice, LCD Soundsystem and the Chemical Brothers are the tunes of choice
I've been listening to quite a bit of different stuff recently - have got a bit bored with all the generic indie rock at the moment which I think has gone a bit stale.
Really enjoying the New Young Pony Club (Fantastic Playroom), the new Chemical Borthers album (We Are The Night) - especially the Salmon Dance and liking the Maps album too. Also some older stuff that's new to me such as Handsome Boy Modelling School.
Bought Cold War Kids' album - it's very rare that I'll say this but don't...........it's terrible.
It's a grower, I wasn't sure at first listen but still only 3 or 4 listens later have really got into it. It won't grab your attention for the full album but the stand out tracks are very good and it's a good listen when you're on the way to work!
Yes, New Young Pony Club is a great album as is CSS.
I wasn't convinced by Cold War Kids either, saw their set at Glastonbury, the first 3 songs I thought were craaaap, but the got much better by the end and I came away thinking it was quite good. bought the album, can't say i've listened to it much though. find him a bit whiney.
I bought it off the back of the single 'Hang Me Out to Dry' which I really liked - the album continues in much the same vane only with all the melody and rhythm removed....
My thing at the moment is, I'm a bit bored of the whole 'lads rock' thing at the moment, the Twang album, for example annoys me as they want to sound like Kasbian
Oh that reminds me - I do like the Pigeon Detectives album. Especially like the fact that they're not sorry. Get a bit tired of bedwetting bands apologising for everything!
You should check out the following then if that's your taste. DJ Medhi, Uffie, pretty much any of the Ed Banger and Modular stuff but most of all SebAstian.
Got a lot of the Ed Banger stuff on the pod, really liking the SebAstain stuff. The whole French electro thing is where it's at dance wise at the moment.
[cite]Posted By: Glass half empty[/cite]Got to agree with Carter, The Twang are SUBLIME and they have also earnt themselves a booking from myself. What night are you going Carter?
On a Friday night I believe round about 19/20 October I think
I could be wrong but I'm going to watch Frank Skinner around that time too and keep getting the dates mixed up. I'm going with my gooner mate with one eyebrow, meet up for an afternoon sesh if your doing the same one mate

The Justice album is everything Daft Punk would love to be.
Not surprised with all those old fogey's you must get coming in your office at your new job.
I did listen to the new KT Tunstall album. Good but a bit Radio 2.
No one help with Kokomo? Blue eyed soul ala Average White Band but haven't listened to them for decades. Badger? Anyone?

Surely you got that the wrong way round??? Justice are just a poor mans Daft Punk!
Oh and I totally agree with this one. Best album this year Maccabees. Closely followed by Maximo Park.
Nah, I think the Justice album is the next step on from Daft Punk (and I really like Daft Punk). Top notch stuff.
Completely in agreement on arcade fire and the twang

Afternoon sesh sounds like a plan, will get in touch nearer the time mate
