I was wondering if anyone bought a new record recently that they really like.  For me, it's KIT's "Invocation".

Best,
Nicholas

I've been digging Infected Mushroom - "Legend of The Black Shawarma" and Bloody Nora's "This Incredible Mess" [which isn't recorded very well, but I like the songs].

absolutely loved the last Fall Out Boy record.

just grabbed Laura Veirs "July Flame," and that seems really promising too.

can't think of anything else since the start of 2008, apart from clients/colleagues/friends (many of whom i would say are brilliant)

What group of 13 yr old run aways has hi-jacked your guys computers?    There has not been one decent release in 10 yrs, seriously.   The only half way decent sounding shit has been the Feist, 1-2-3-4 - and thats even scary!!!!  Dave Matthews has some good ones, in between the depressed generic Starbucks love songs.  

 The only good music I have heard was Roger Waters doing the Wall live at Staples center the other night- the 3.5 hits of liquid acid might have had something to do with that though.    

The only good track Ive heard on the radio is that , "aint no sleep for the wicked"  song!!!  Actually a great track is Aloe Blacc's "I need a dollar" -       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbVHbEGerRAhttp://www.youtube .com/watch?v=KbVHbEGerRA

Do your last 10 years of clients know you feel that way?

"Good" is in the ear of the beholder!!  One man's ceiling is another man's floor -- and while you're ceiling may be Roger Waters at the Staples' Center [I have to complement LA on the tip of the cap to Mavis and Pops!!!!] - my floor has the Black Snakes and the Black Angels - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Alabama 3's "acoustic album" [can't remember the title at the moment] - and at least a dozen more.

Radio may be dead - "production" may be way too compressed, but songwriting will never die, and there has been [in my world, YMMV] some seriously good stuff released in the last 2 years - and exponentially more in the last 10 even though it may not have received the exposure required to sell "big" - the fact of the matter is that is does exist!!!!

I don't want this to go unappreciated.  Hilarious.

Daniel Lanois's Black Dub.
Trixie Whitley is an amazing singer, and the band, well the band ...

This is a joke, right?

[Andy Meyer]

Kurt Vile, The National, Joanna Newsom and Bill Callahan have all made some great records in the past year or two.

Really - I can't think of a song that made me switch quicker than Feist's hit. Within the last ten years, anyway, I've discovered that I really *really* like Ryan Adams songwriting, and "What Sara Said" by Death Cab for Cutie stops me dead in my tracks. Both of those are because of the songwriting. I've heard other Feist stuff, and besides her voice annoying me, I can't get past the not-so-interesting songwriting. I know i'm getting older and far less tolerant of moon/june couplets, so maybe it's just me.
