Now That's What I Call A Music Thread: 2009

[METALMAN]

Those two and My Wife were the only songs on it I liked actually. Rest were mostly rubbish.

Too many boring instrumentals and interludes and not enough good songs.

[ROC]

But "My Night with the Prostitute from Marseilles"!

[IAceI]

Can't wait to see Blakfish in September too after Ace's description of it. With BATS as well when I see them, fucking awesome band.

You'll enjoy it; they put on a good show. Wish they did more songs like Rollerskates but its good.

They got Randy Sage, Jeremy Kyle, Ringo etc. in, it's a good show definitely. Better if it's ~30 people in a hotel mind.

Me and a mate are debating going to see Hey Monday in October.

I must admit, I'm going purely for the fanny.

[Cactus Drags]

I wasn't pleasantly surprised by Hey Monday, nothing groundbreaking, but it's catchy stuff.

[Turbo Yannis]

Pretty much my opinion of them too. But on the plus side, she's proper tidy.

[METALMAN]

I dunno if anyone here is into him but it's worth a shot...

I would like to get into Brian Wilson's solo stuff a bit more. Reasons being that I love loads of the BBs music while he was a member plus I also have the Smile album which I really really like as well.

However, I'm not really sure what to expect with his music or what would be the best album to get. I only got Smile in the first place because I kind of already knew what I was going to be getting with it and I wasn't disappointed.

[Skummy]

Brian Wilson's latest ("That Lucky Old Sun") is one of the best things he's done. I'd argue it's the best thing he's done since leaving the Beach Boys - the rest of his solo work is pretty patchy, though.

[METALMAN]

Oh I knew I could rely on you skummy. You are like a musical oracle. I wish I had a musical oracle. I will have a look at that then. I've got right back into the Beach Boys lately. Flawless timing as well seeing as summer's ending and it's all cloudy again. >_>

[Turbo Yannis]

How fucking good is 'Choose Your Own Adventure (C.Y.O.A)' by Heartsrevolution?

I could literally listen to it all day.

[Cactus Drags]

There's something really jarring about the vocal track. Otherwise, it's pretty nifty.

[YI]

Fuck me, the Heartsounds album is epic.

The bird would get it too.

Definitely up there with Dear Landlord, The Cut Ups, Half Hearted Hero, This Is A Standoff and Propagandhi as far as 2009 punk-rock goes.

Someone help me decide if Broken Record's "Until The Eart Begins To Part" is wonderful or wank. I well and truly can't decide. On one hand it's in the same league as stuff like There Will Be Fireworks, We Were Promised Jetpacks and Bruce Peninsula as far as 'epic' music goes. On the other hand, I dunno, it seems overly pretentious for some reason. Either way, "If Eilert Loevberg Wrote A Song, It Would Sound Like This" is the best song title I've heard all year.

Until Saturday, 8PM GMT, Los Campesinos are selling tshirts from their current tour. Also, "If you like, I will ensure your tee has been worn briefly by your chosen Campesinos!, at no extra price."

Now I need to figure out which Campesino I want to wear my shirt...

[METALMAN]

Isn't it obvious?

...gareth of course. >_>

[LittleDaniel]

That's what I told my friend to get me...it's so weird that I must have it...

[probablyoliver]

I might get one and get Ollie to wear it, just because, y'know, he has my name. >_>

So, been a pretty beasty weekend for leaks, just trying to get caught back up. Here's what I've got to listen to;

"Daisy" by Brand New

"Ignore The Ignorant" by The Cribs

"1372 Overton Park" by Lucero

"Iron Front (EP)" by Strike Anywhere

"Gold Country" by Chuck Ragan

"The Life Of The World To Come" by The Mountain Goats

"Weight Of Air" by The Sidekicks

"Unmap" by Volcano Choir

[YI]

POLAR BEAR CLUB AND RAISED FIST HAVE LEAKED TOO!!! WHOOOO!!!

"You Stole" by Brand New may be one of the most lyrically epic songs I've heard in so long.

[tristy]

I really like "Vices" off the new Brand New album, for some reason.

I don't know if anyone is into it, but "11:11" by Rodrigo y Gabriela leaked, too.
