no remorse!
utterly content with those four record purchases
the xx album is a delight, even with its occasionally weak points. like a band of people raised on a diet of echo and the bunnymen and everything but the girl, but the boy/girl vocals are strangely balanced. prefer her voice to his, i think. 'islands' and 'intro' and 'basic space' all got several stars in itunes :)
mumford and sons - sigh no more
love songs with a healthy and sweet dose of implied muscular yet romantic sex... sexy, if true love ever was. 'little lion man' the most amazing song, but the album holds together around it, sitting there at track seven, like a fight scene in a film. 'white blank page' and 'thistle and weeds' have been singled out for attention so far.
the field - brilliant have-it-on-all-afternoon beats. with a few odd tracks, not sure if i like that 'everybody's gotta learn sometime' thing. but then, i didn't like the beck cover of that either, i figure why remake a perfect song, though... the rest of it, though, ace.
and holy fuck - yeah, wow. excellent. only got one whole listen in over the weekend, but will give it another full play as soon as i can.
am happy to recommend any of it.
mumford and sons to pogues (and possibly coldplay!) fans
the xx to cure fans
the field to fourtet fans
and holy fuck to mgmt/!!! fans
yay! new music!

polyester sale
in a rare spree, the unknown listener set off for polyester records this morning, and armed with a youtube's worth of recent favourites, made a short list and stuck to it!
so, this is what i bought:
the xx - xx (young turks)
the field - yesterday and tomorrow (kompakt)
mumford & sons - sigh no more (glassnote)
holy fuck - latin (young turks)
looking forward to listening in full to each album, and hoping that the songs i remember liking are in fact worth buying whole albums for.
the sleeves of all four are really similar: matte card digipaks
happy
will hopefully have a few new favourites to share soon
love

p.s. polyester sale is 15% off everything. ends sunday.

one brain itch, scratched
this has been bothering me for weeks
there's a note on my fridge that says - "top gear, BLUR song - ferrari daytona - just after police stop the car. hammond driving."
i love top gear, partly because of the excellent music selections they play along/under gorgeous footage of gloss-enameled vehicles being driven by enthusiasts
and i pride myself on being able to pick a song within bars... usually
this one nearly killed me and i have expended quite some mental energy trying to figure it out before cheating and using the google
but i had to in the end, and once i found out... the relief is profound
from the excellent trainspotting soundtrack and not present on ANY of the albums i have in my blur collection (and i'm missing a few now - the great escape, and leisure... and i didn't think it wasn't that early - and it turns out it did first appear on leisure)
it's built around a poignant repeated piano phrase, then a bending slow guitar comes up and then it does something else... anyway, the piano opening was what they'd used on top gear and now i've found it, i must share it
with deep thanks to the posters on this top gear forum
enjoy

happy meal of the music world
rubbish, over-accessorised and yet a treat
o-zone - dragostea din tea
some baffling lyrics about linden trees and a souped up eurotrash disco beat
hilarious and a total winner
linkage as embedding disabled
and embedded with the image back not the video as the video had rubbish sound
pop pop pop
yours rubbishingly
