spot on with the review- its a tad long. She's a thrill live though, this record help revive a summer-music drought / lack of loop-pedal motivation for me.

he was mentioning something similar when interviewing Shannon Stephens on the Asthmatic Kitty site:

yes yes yes. been waiting all year for this record... only to discover it wasn't to happen for a while longer. Hooray.

definately going to put this on today after reading this. Your review really does it justice. One can argue that its simply made up of possible ten of the bands best songs: for me personally, Harborcoat gets me every thing, So. Central Rain simultaniously does "dark" & "pop", Little America is spews left-American vitriol & Camera is just, well... that little 12-string-solo bridge is just rather perfect

.

good one... and yeap - if the 'live version' of Remade Horizon was on Bitta Orca, it'd have claimed album of the year hands down. That riff!!

doe £21.50.... can't wait to see them again.

i really wish them luck with the LP... i wish my band had the guts to give it a shot post uni. (and we (were) split glasgow-cambridge-london-southampton)

broken Records are awesome. As are Camera Obscura. Since the beggers merge, 4AD just keeps looking better and better

Colorado by Grizzly Bear

and especially since its a really underrated album

so you review Marissa Nadler's new record two months early and DoE like four months late??

at you already having this!!

i mean, its amazing isnt it? I'm shrouded in mystery and you'd never bet that less then 10 years later they'd be the biggest band in the world judging by this record (its brilliant but so perfectly between mainstream and alternative in the elements that make mainstream appeal).

definately 10/10

this version of the song is about as far from Crow Sit On Blood Tree as you can possibly get.

makes me think Hot Chip should do an album based on Goodfellas.

I'm sure James' output will continue to be brilliant, but LCD live was really something special - i count myself lucky I saw them 3 times over the years..... That Astoria show..

and it was pretty amazing, no Obama speeches but an incredible performance! 9/10 IMO

i just heard of this person so I'm hoping its better than DiS say!

its a little out but hey, the song still sounds amazing

i'd watch it but i'm at uni. Lame.

what a great record though

its pretty standard Radiohead - humans destroying their planet, bit by bit. Its a beautiful video. I'm sure the guy doesnt care that he ONLY got £5k for it as know he's got "oh yeah, i made the video for a radiohead single" on his CV.

Its more relevant to the song than the other videos they've made for In Rainbows (which in just involved them - although that All I Need tv add/video thing is amazing)

"oh nobody likes us anymore...."

Calls for TCTC reforming start now. With Didz. And with 2002 production. Lets do things properly.

why! why why why! at least they've got TV On The Radio on board... and Elbow are finally getting some recognition obviously

rob from ET is such a legend

the airport line is an absolutely amazing song.

.

but are any of the songs going to be anywhere near as good as Nowhere Again?

but sweet!

if you actually listen to the words you'll see the irony...

i really really can't wait to hear this record. It was pretty insane to hear live back in May but it sounded really promising.

I'm starting to believe those Field Music folks can do no wrong. Sea from Shore was so brilliant... although David was still complete overwhelmed apparently by how good Peter's new songs were

what a legendary band

and watch everyone else. Its pretty simple. I remember being in the Dublin Castle for the first act the year Winehouse headlined it and it was easy to get in

you're kidding right?

Third for the win

do not put "TV On The Radio" and "Leak" in the same sentence unless you are informing us about something to do with it leaking. Its not fair.

thank you.

to be fair i do really dig stainless style (bar the first two hip-hop songs).

Third should really, really, really be on that list

Elbow for the win. Its about time. Richard Hawley should have won with Coles Corner. Last year was just a joke. I don't have high hopes that they will actually win but they deserve to. Although In Rainbows is the strongest record on that list

thats messed up.

School of Language / The Week That Was on the same night?

can't wait, it was pretty sweet last year. Great to hear Fandango are putting out "Slow Parade" by Broken Records too.

they were amazing at Werchter, what a great start to the weekend. The horn section really fills out the gap in their live sound.

i was wondering how a Beck gig that features a "spontanious conga-line" could be disappointing!

if you'd seen them this year, you'd know its pretty much a 90 minute freak out.

Third for the win.

they get lumped into the MOR Dad Rock catagory but its clearly because people don't give them a chance.

Ok, Leaders... has some MOR but Asleep In the Back and The Seldom Seen Kid are just stunning. The debut is so much moodier and heartwrenching than any other british Indie band will ever manage for god knows how long. And the new record just sores high and its amazing and uplifting and cleaver and Guy Garvey is amazing.

Hate to say i told you so alright.

i never thought Black Kids were capable of much.

woob

another one for the "classic tales of the east anglian music scene 1995-2008"

Shara really is quite a talent and it'll be amazing to see what she comes up with in the future. The new record is quite stunning!

Also, she definately deserves credit for the MBD live experience - switching between the Rock Trio thing being backed by a string quartet and it always being amazing!
