3 - I bought Rip It Off for £2. This album would be so much better if they didn't record it in a bin. They've stopped being quite so annoyingly lo-fi since, yeah?
4 - See 'Live blog your first listen to a classic album' thread.
5b - See 'Albums that have left you disappointed this year' thread.
8 - Somehow I didn't get how awesome these EPs are when they first came out. Brilliant stuff.

11 fantastic drums
14 wouldn't have started anywhere near my favourites this year but i've listened to it pretty much every week since it came out.

Matt Lavelle's "Goodbye New York, Hello World" is one of the best jazz albums released this year. a few gorgeous duets and a few intense 19 minute freakouts. great stuff.

Revisited the last Casiotone album and we're all in agreement that it's totally his best one yeah? really amazing lyric writing across the whole thing. now hurry up and release an Advance Base album.

First listen to Return To Cookie Mountain. Should've live blogged it i guess. it's really good!

Love the new Slow Club. if we were to include cd plays i would easily have broke 100 scrobbles this week. easily.

song of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWdnX3XlaI4

1 - So glad Lenses Alien got onto Spotify, I cannot find a fault with it. Probably getting close to being one of my favourite albums ever now
2 - The Classic Albums thread is to thank for this, really inconsistent band but at their best they blow me away.
3 - New one's a bit too shiny and perfect, but the tunes are still there.
6 - I heard that they were playing ATP AT CHRISTMAS OH GOD PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE
9b - Not sure about Holy Ghost yet, but it's a big step up from Album at the very least

2&3: I second what Luis_Carruthers said about Sun Araw and WITTR. Sun Araw's managed to really clean up his sound without losing the murky dubby qualities which make it so engrossing in the first place.
6: I absolutely hated him when I first heard Speedway King a while ago but the album works really well (esp. Lord Knows Best). Bit short though.
9: His website says he's recording a new album YAAAAAAAY

1. XXX is quality
3b. Lincoln is great fun, first listen.
10a. Found Black Foliage to be a bit dull with some decent tracks, probably in the wrong setting (on a busy train)
12f. Forgot how good It's A Shame About Ray is
12g. Lexicon Of Love - class.
12j. New album sounds pretty sweet
22e. Go listen to Rozwell Kid, I made a thread about it. Classic Weezer sound, great great fun.

1 – still can't stop listening to Narrows. It's released next week and I expect to see it get hyped; Bowie / Numan retro style with nu-retro chillwave and more. Pretty addictive.

2 – played Relationship of Command to my 3 year old. He went fairly nuts: http://soundcloud.com/meatbreak/the-influence-of-at-the-drive

3 – Got their album after End of the Road. It's quite nice, got some good lyrics and lovely harmonies.

4 – Incredible classical drone album from Stars of the Lid member Adam Wiltzie and pianist Dustin O’Halloran, as you're probably already aware. On Friday night I played this then Nest, Balam Acab, Future Shuttle and FRKWYS Vol.7 one after the other and I think I did some permanent realigning of some neural networks.

5 – Chillwavey electronica that maps an afternoon in the life of. D/L for free: http://robelsynthesia.bandcamp.com/album/neon-island

6a – First couple of plays of Wander/Wonder and I think I might get hooked in. Doesn't sound like an electronic record at all, so lush and organic sounding; like he mic'd up a petri dish.

6b – Awesome psychedelic acid-folk album, similar if not better to all those 60's bands from UK and USA. Sounds like both sides of the pond and beyond.

8 – First full ep from NY based synth-space duo is a total trancer. Produced by Blondes, indebted to just about any synth player ever and very heavy on the gorgeous vocals.

9 – New WITTR. OMG! USBM FTW.

10 – The title track on Passed Me By is some kind of sublime elevated techno, no?

1 808s and Dark Grapes II is amazing, although after reading this thread I've realised I should listen to Danny Brown

3 & 4a First listen to these records and was underwhelmed on both counts, just slightly dull

Jens Lekman
Lou Christie
Gang Starr
St. Vincent
Sarah Vaughan
The Tammys
Tom Waits
Rebecca Pan
Emmanuelle Parrenin
Jonathan Richman
The Shirelles
Pavement
Scott Walker
Johnny Cash
Bob Dylan

I've too much Johnny Cash Bob Dylan and Tom Waits so they always play whenever i'm on random. I listened to this one a few times http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM8mlkuJllE. good vid

Lou Christie is mainly the song 'make summer last forever' which has really good backing by The Tammys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_QG0XjKAok
Shirelles has been entirely What does a girl do http://open.spotify.com/track/31eAkcm1g4mnHTWSrk2fWU
