August 29, 201113 yr ^Like the sound of both, especially Kimbra. Lovely vid too. Too much cool for one stage - The Strokes and Jarvis Cocker cover The Cars' 'Just What I Needed' at the Reading + Leeds fest.
August 30, 201113 yr Author ^Awesome (Y) I had my hand kissed by Jarvis at a festival just last month
September 5, 201113 yr ^Can't say I saw that particular collaboration coming. New tune from Howling Bells. Something of a return to form, I think.
September 7, 201113 yr Author ^Can't say I saw that particular collaboration coming. I reckon. Jack White is still the man, but I dunno what he was on when he agreed to do that Love the Howling Bells And congrats to PJ Harvey for taking out the Mercury Music prize
September 12, 201113 yr And congrats to PJ Harvey for taking out the Mercury Music prize Congrats indeed. I will admit to pulling for Anna Calvi but 'Let England Shake' is a stunning album.
September 12, 201113 yr Two new favourites... Think Vampire Weekend gone avant garde, with bizarre lyrics and dance moves to match. And a newly formed and rather magnificent all-girl band from London (via Brighton).
September 22, 201113 yr Author ^ Love the Novella track too. Not so convinced by the Zun Zun Egui though <_< The Flaming Lips release six hour songThe Flaming Lips have released a six hour long song titled I Found This Star On The Ground. The marathon tune is accompanied by another two new (much shorter) songs as well as a light and audio phase illusions toy called the Strobo Trip. This follows on from other peculiar release methods from the Oklahoma natives. Earlier in the year front man Wayne Coyne hand delivered new songs on USB sticks lodged in gummy skulls to a record store in his home city. The full package has only been made available to buy at a record store in Portland, Oregon, however you can stream I Found This Star On The Ground in its entirety below. It's been divided into three two hour sections. Streaming here: Part 1 - http://bit.ly/oVxTpd Part 2 - http://bit.ly/nAhXxM Part 3 - http://bit.ly/pTycYN
September 23, 201113 yr Love the Novella track too. Not so convinced by the Zun Zun Egui though <_< I really like them but with such a scattershot sound and lyrics about sexy worms, they can hardly expect to be everyone's cup of tea.
September 24, 201113 yr Obsessed with the new Girls album Father, Son, Holy Ghost. It's pretty much perfection. Pop done right.
September 24, 201113 yr Obsessed with the new Girls album Father, Son, Holy Ghost. It's pretty much perfection. Pop done right. I will admit to finding couple of the tracks on 'FSHG' a touch excessive but when they get it right, wow, they're absolutely stunning. 'Alex' is about as close to heaven-sent as it's possible to get.
September 30, 201113 yr ^I think I like 'WTWGM' a little bit better than this one. Perfect choice for a first single though, and I can't enough of those tribal-sounding drums.
October 1, 201113 yr Author Feist's new album is out in a few days. You can stream it here now though (requires email registration): http://www.listentofeist.com/metals/
October 3, 201113 yr Also.. Very good stuff. When I heard it, I figured a Jack White collaboration would be inevitable, but a quick Googling suggests that it's already happened. Trying to quickly redeem himself after the Insane Clown Posse debacle, no doubt.
