8. his latest album is just as great as Speak Volumes.
10. unbelievable guitar tones invoking different sunsets.


I approve of this chart.

Which Mogwai album(s) were you listening to?

And I'll go check out Trouble Books now, they sound good!


thanks!

i picked up young team and rock action, i have Mr beast winging its way soon as well. any other must listens?

trouble books actually have the album up for free on my website, i'm actually thinking of making a label to release it in the uk.

http://www.myinlandempire.co.uk/?p=129

www.barkandhiss.com - is their website.


You really can't go wrong with Mogwai

in my opinion. I love every album.

I'd heartily recommend you obtain Ten Rapid as soon as possible, there are some fantastic songs on there. That's probably my favourite, but you really can't go wrong with any of their albums.

Cheers for the link, I'll listen now.


Oh that Michio guy

is the one who did the collab with Boris I believe? I've done a bit of rummaging based on your chart and found his solo album on emusic. Sounds awesome. Saved for later.

This sort of discovery is why DiS/last fm is a great combination.


.

aye michio is amazing, solo or in other bands. just the tone of his guitar in sunset notes is stunning, i don't know how he does it. yeah and he's pretty much a touring member of boris at the moment.


Don't get that, go for his band effort

They're called Ghost, and they take a lot of drugs and make great music. Trust me on this one.


Sounds intriguing

I will trust you on this, as I do on all things.

10 Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers 5

Awesome new records from Grouper and Lucky Dragons. Amazing 12" from Guillaume and Killa P's mixtape is surprisingly solid.


yep

I had tired a little of Lucky Dragons, but the new record is very very good. The Grouper record will no doubt feature on quite a few year end charts too I believe.


Yay Shackleton and Villalobos :)

have you got the new EP by anychance or are they older tunes?


The Villalobos

listens are for the new Ep. It's fucking lush if totally impossible to play in a club.

I think the Shackleton listens were mostly to the Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts remix of "Next to Nothing" its a few months old but I totally slept on it at the time. It's so so so good.


nice

I will have to check those two out.

I like it when Villalobos goes all imposible to play in club mode hehe.

Nice mix this week. Thank you Fopp! for having some wonderful albums for £5.


I envy you for still having access to a Fopp...

I miss the £5 albums shelf of the Bury St. Edmunds Fopp, it was a wonderland.


You may envy me, but my bank balance doesn't!

I stupidly went in there after I'd had a few drinks the other evening. Needing to kill sometime before I met friends for a club night. The lesson I learned was that I should under no circumstance, especially near the end of the month when I'm skint, go into Fopp under the influence!

That The Clean album I got is very good

you were right innit?


i was, huh

you should try get the anthology its essential listening

have you ever heard the legendary guitar amp tapes by the velvet underground


!!

There was a (VxPxC) cd-r in the Juno section of the record shop this week. I almost bought it because I remembered it from thee last.fm chart of goodness. Yet another example of how the last.fm chart thread almost influences my life.


theyre really great

i highly recommend them. i dont really know what you call that kinda thing, the volcanic tongue website called them 'destructo-rockers' which sounds like a cool thing to call them.

ive never seen anything by them in the juno section of any local record shops here, must go to glasgow. i ordered a couple of these but they seem to be taking a fair while to arrive...:(

http://www.vxpxc.com/ARTIST.html


cool

Volcanic Tongue reviews are a bit confusing. He clearly loves absolutely everything ever. And I don't know what 'gutter-punk splazz' and 'tone float' mean :(


I dont get Last FM

I have an accout and thought about using it a few times but both times just got board of the scrobelling thing and deleated it.

I'm not a fan of listening to stuff on my computer if I can help it too, the sound sucks, so its only the random crap I download that will be counted. Whats the point in missing out the majorite of everything else I listen too.
