Dirty Projectors and David Byrne

If ever there was a match made in heaven. this is it, plus more

WORLD FTB

you're all shit

no mention of grizzly bear, poor showing

any isn't the new dirty projectors record out next year? yeah, why no mention of the two most innovative bands in rock?

Burt Bacharach and Hal David

write better and more successful than all the above

but if i had to choose, No Age

these photos

are more interesting than the album

i like it

cos they make interpol and radiohead sound human for once

Right Said Fred

been there, done that

^ This

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!

before sam's town came 'a hundred miles off' by the walkmen, which was really dylanesque and more inline with american rock like springsteen

now, the new walkmen record You & Me, here's a blurb on insound.com

You & Me is a solid and complex collection of inspired songwriting. Romantic and celebratory, this is the sound of The Walkmen returning to classic form. The music that influenced the Walkmen to compose You & Me follows in a tradition of song writing that traces back to early rock'n'roll: the intimacy and energy of Elvis Presley's and Buddy Holly's early recordings, and the massive voice and orchestration of ROY ORBISON.

*sigh*, they'll never get big, will they?

yeah, but

at the end of the day they're just a one album band

with the current wave of 'mortgage indie' on the wane

maybe bands like mystery jets will become the next bigs stars of the UK? sure, they're indie and they're guitar music about girls, but i think stylistically different and fresh enough compared to the wombats, the libertines, the kooks, the pigeon detectives, the cribs, the the the the the the the the the the... to make an impression

double shit

i kinda of wanna refund my ticket, those were my 2 things

would

^

this

aaah

what a nice video to go with a nice song

oh, the wolf parade album not out yet?

i haven't heard it, then....

I'd Go For

Wild Beasts - Limbo, Panto
Mystery Jets - Twenty One
El Guincho - Alegrenza
Born Ruffians - Red, Yellow and Blue
The Dodos - Visiter
Wolf Parade - At Mt. Zoomer
No Age - Nouns
Hercules and Love Affair - S/T
Vampire Weekend - S/T
High Places - Demos

loads of good new albums!

it's probably very likely

that someone would be able to fill out a magazine of exclusively post-rock icelandic bands

Picking a standout track, singular, from Foals’ Antidotes is tough

because it all sounds exactly the same

Snakecharming

is such a tune, being here is very U2...

saw that gig at manchester

caribou bored me, born ruffians rocked

open your eyes

and it was like being inside the mind of an office boy

it's a shame cos the album is well good

where the hell is

the wild and the innocent? ranks above darkness in my opinion

you should really put in born in the usa, too, it just gets shit on cos it's all synthy, still a landmark album

highs and lows

my highlights were
The National
Saul Williams
Animal Collective
Ghostface Killah
Battles

lowlight
Atlas Sound - worst live band ever.

I love dirty projectors

will yannis

sing properly for once?

because

they're incredible

it was a shame

that you couldn't dance at Durrr

i was looking forward to him more than mystery jets

you fucking fud.

it'll be like nathan barley

'lick out courtney...then write about it'

did kirk hammett

really end up tearful after lars told him solos weren't cool anymore?

really really cool!

reminds me of jackie by jacques brel

bit harsh

the drummer got hospitalised.

all the world music aficionados

in pop culture are looking shifty right now,

soon Damon Albarn and David Byrne will start sabotaging vampire weekend

in fact

it's probably like his reward for staying clean

"right, if you go through rehab and it's all fine i'm sure the nice boys at the nme will give you something to be proud of, here's a doggy biscuit"

nothing

he just is

sheesh

they've not been getting much luck in england lately...

yeah, what a bastard

he plays guitar, arsehole

aaah

i used to not really like song, and love all the other songs, but the video makes them so cute!

seconded

what a nice bunch of guys

even if rev + makers are shockingly bad. the lead singer's a funny guy (as shown in buzzcocks)

dirty projectors

are always incredible

there's no scientific evidence but it is a fact

actually

youthmovies wouldn't tap into the mainstream... they're good, though

tired irie have enough disco beat to do so

Probably

another set of disappointingly run-of-the-mill-indie bands

plus!
Tired Irie
Youthmovies

and NO AGE will be on freshly squeezed plugging their platinum selling debut album

we can all live in hope

is that

a picture of Kate Nash?

klaxons etc?

if you didn't care

you didn't have to read the article

then comment on it

you care, oooh!

this album

is very pleasant to listen to
