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.

Hope is important.

- "Journal For Palgue Lovers" by Manic Street Preachers.
- "Hey Everyone!" by Danananakroyd.

Just like to point out that I said that before the shortlist was announced. I stand by my choice

Yeah Florence probably edges it for me, Muse, The Joy Formidable and Yeah Yeah Yeahs close behind.

Grog me.

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.

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.

Πανδώρα: Beefy cheesemas to all, and to all a gravy brie

Emma: So… Posting a new thread is Fission Mailing… so I’m putting this here.

Emma: 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.

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

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

Emma: A lot of the regulars can be found on the VR veterans group on Facebook - if you see this and you’re not in there, come join us.
