It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Am liking the Florence And The Machine album but it's too soon to say yet. White Lies has gotten a lot of listens too.
All three of these added to my vote too please. It's been a good year for some cracking albums so far, there's been some other good ones that I haven't mentioned, because I don't think they're the best, but still enjoyable listens.
I actually think it's been kinda a poor year so far. A lot of the returning bands simply haven't been up to scratch. Got high hopes for upcoming Muse and Biffy, mind.
And I reckon Bat For Lashes will win the Mercury Prize.

Just like to point out that I said that before the shortlist was announced. I stand by my choice
- "Hazards Of Love" by The Decemberists. - "Grace And The Bigger Picture" by Johnny Foreigner. - "Journal For Plague Lovers" by Manic Street Preachers. - "To Lose My Life" by White Lies. - "The Resistance" by Muse. - "Hey Eveyone!" by Danananananakroyd.
It hurts too much not to try. I will see you in another life when we are both cats. Quod perditum est, in venietur.*Facebook.
A rather large 'meh' this year in the main. Enjoyed new Twilight Sad and Grizzly Bear a lot though. We Were Promised Jetpacks and the Broken Records one were nice as well.
If I could get an orange that was as low-maintenance as an apple, I'd be a happy man
I'd say this has been my favourite year for music for quite a while, but there hasn't been much of interest going on on the rock side of things. A few of my favourites would be:
2562 - Unbalance Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II (far, far better than I expected) Dusk + Blackdown vs Grievous Angel - Margins Music: Redux Emeralds - What Happened TV Ghost - Cold Fish Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs Toro Y Moi - Causers of This (not sure if this is out this year or early on next, but it leaked a while back and it's very good) HEALTH - Get Color Marco Polo & Torae - Double Barrel
There are a few more I've really liked this year but they don't spring instantly to mind.
Did anyone else love the Telekinesis album, by the way?
I bought it a few months back and it's f*cking excellent.
I'll be grabbing it on Tuesday when I get paid, though it'll have to be online, as HMV just don't have it in stock at all. Unless a bunch of Planet Sound readers have bought them all before I could.

I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.

I think it will be going offline around the end of May

It’s been almost 10 years since James passed away… and I feel like it’s time.
