and this is a very good review. It's absolutely criminal that some of these tracks won't be massive hits.

Everyone should go and listen to the Aryton Senna EP.

but wasn't Hope Is Important released in 1998, whilst Coldplay and Badly Drawn Boy "trotted around with an acoustic guitar" in 2000?

And I love Roy's Keen.

I think Building A Wall is my favourite at the moment, although the bonus track with Phil Oakey deserves a special mention. It's like the last two decades never happened.

The album is a bit of a disappointment, but still, very excited about the live dates.

9/10 for me.

b) Jo & Danny

Exit Music (For A Book)

Soz.

You shouldn't be allowed to read this site if you don't own this album.

is surely going to get upgraded to Academy 2, non?

It's a good album, but they will never better Wild Like Children. Then again, that is one of the most perfect indie pop albums ever.

is immense. Has he sampled Beirut in there?

going to a gig in London when I live in Manchester involves a lot of money and time of work.

you just got me so excited thinking Of Montreal had announced a proper UK tour. These dates were announced months ago :(

I met Joel afterwards, what a lovely man. In fact the whole band are delightful.

Sowwee

Did they support Sunset Rubdown in Manchester?

and that video is wonderful.

I always see the Liverpool band listed somewhere and get excited.

I'm not that keen on dying anywhere really.
