What's brilliant? What do I need? My favourites from this year include Roots Manuva, Bloc Party, Patrick Wolf, Boards Of Canada, Polar Bear, British Sea Power, Guillemots, Elbow, etcetera etcetera...

I have to know what you've already got before I can advise on what to buy.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 21 October 2005 07:06 (twenty years ago)

Not having a list with me I'd say just suggest things and I'll say if I have them.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:18 (twenty years ago)

Didn't you post a list of your collection somewhere on ILM? Maybe if you can remember the thread in question you could link and I can have a dekko.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:27 (twenty years ago)

Indeed I did. It was on a thread about my new CD player. I'll see if i can find it.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:27 (twenty years ago)

There have been a dozen or more additions since then, but it's here; AUDIOPHILES PLEASE - hi-fi sound problem.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:28 (twenty years ago)

I see you haven't got the Shortwave Set album. That's the one to get!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:30 (twenty years ago)

What did you do with the minidisc deck?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:35 (twenty years ago)

Duly ordered from hmv.co.uk.

The MD deck is boxed and sitting on top of a wardrobe.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:36 (twenty years ago)

Try the Hold Steady album Nick. You'd either love it or hate it.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:46 (twenty years ago)

Gmail me stuff, Dom.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:48 (twenty years ago)

Check yr account tonight Nicholas.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:55 (twenty years ago)

The Acoustic Ladyland album, I guess obviously, although I suspect it was your review I read in a bundle with Polar Bear which makes this recommendation rather irrelevant.

Have you heard the Final Fantasy record? Oh - the new Broken Social Scene might be really interesting to you...

― sean gramophone (Sean M), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:56 (twenty years ago)

Ted Leo

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:00 (twenty years ago)

Broadcast - Tender Buttons.

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:03 (twenty years ago)

It was me who reviewed Acoustic Ladyland in with Polar Bear, aye. Broken Social Scene I've never heard.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:05 (twenty years ago)

Murcof 'remembranza'

― keyth (keyth), Friday, 21 October 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

Broken Social Scene - s/t
Wolf Parade - ATTQM
Deerhoof - Runners Four
Dungen - Ta Det Lungt (last year)

― white dolemite (White Dolemite), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:16 (twenty years ago)

Sick Mouthy, do you have the New Pornographers album? I'd call it brilliant.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

That Cut Copy album is dead good, although it may have come out last year.

― Neil Stewart (Neil Stewart), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

Have you heard The Rakes' album, Nick? If so, what do you think? (Avoiding cryptic neutrality, I think about half of it is excellent.)

― Nöödle Vägue (noodle vague), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

Of Montreal's The Sunlandic Twins is really good too... sorry for two twee recommendations in a row if that kind of thing doesn't float your boat.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:19 (twenty years ago)

I am not keen on twee and have not heard The Rakes.

I ordered the new Broken Social Scene and the Shortwave Set.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

I liked The Mountain Goats and Magnolia Electric Co. Eh.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

I kinda like the Occasion CD.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

I'd suggest Stars In Battledress - Secrets & Signals

― mzui (mzui), Friday, 21 October 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

Okay, well I'd recommend you give The Rakes a listen, it's very Strokehead Ferdichiefs but the songs mostly are well above generic.

― Nöödle Vägue (noodle vague), Friday, 21 October 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

roisin murphy - ruby blue
crazy frog - crazy hits

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 October 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

This thread has made me realize that there was very little non-experimental (drone type stuff, psych, etc) things this year that I really liked.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Friday, 21 October 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

SUN KIL MOON - TINY CITIES

― bingo (Chris V), Friday, 21 October 2005 14:13 (twenty years ago)

Check out Field Music - you can stream a few songs here.

Have you heard the new John Cale?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 21 October 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Isolée - We Are Monster

― login name (fandango), Friday, 21 October 2005 19:08 (twenty years ago)

Sway's two promos!

― jive session (elwisty), Friday, 21 October 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

broadcast - tender buttons

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Friday, 21 October 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

Deerhoof The Runners Four for real. Or Paul Wall The People's Champ.

― Steev (Steev), Friday, 21 October 2005 23:51 (twenty years ago)

Jackson and His Computer band - Smash

It's tits!

― van igloo (van smack), Saturday, 22 October 2005 00:48 (twenty years ago)

Nick - I'd like to see what you'd make of Chromehoof.

― dog latin (dog latin), Saturday, 22 October 2005 01:10 (twenty years ago)

The Deadly Snakes - Porcella. Album of the year, no doubt.

― The Fightin' Side of Me, Saturday, 22 October 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

I'm enjoying Deerhoof quite a bit

― Super Cub (Debito), Saturday, 22 October 2005 01:59 (twenty years ago)

Hi Nick, some quiet and beautiful records:

King Creosote - KC Rules OK
The Clientele - Strange Geometry
Syd Matters - Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles

― zeus (zeus), Saturday, 22 October 2005 06:39 (twenty years ago)

Syd Matters - Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles

Would agree here. The only problem is that I completely forget how good it is unless it's actually playing at the time.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Saturday, 22 October 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

A Frames - Black Forest

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 22 October 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

Has no one mentioned Super Furry Animals? It hasn't exactly knocked my socks off, but it's a really nice record.

― Super Cub (Debito), Saturday, 22 October 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

Based on the list..
Modeselektor - Hello Mom
And Deerhoof thirded

― mox twelve (Mox twleve), Saturday, 22 October 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

Actually, you're fourthing Deerhoof. But that just means one more person likes it.

― Super Cub (Debito), Saturday, 22 October 2005 19:41 (twenty years ago)

Mm, right, miscount there. Yeah, I liked Runners Four alot, actually. A sterling assault. I even forced my weaned-on-radio friends to listen, and they enjoyed it. I think.

― mox twelve (Mox twleve), Saturday, 22 October 2005 19:55 (twenty years ago)

Wolf Parade's eponymous EP, if that came out this year. Perceptionists' Black Dialogueis in the process of being slept on.

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Saturday, 22 October 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

Archer Prewitt - Wildnerness

I first heard it in the beginning of the year but I never *really* listened to it. I have now in the past 3 days and it's easilly one of the best albums I've heard this year. Great arrangements, melodies and lyrics. Stylus gave it an A.

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Saturday, 22 October 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

Try Oceans Apart by the Go-Betweens, best of their reunion cds.

― Jim Reckling (Jim Reckling), Sunday, 23 October 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

Has no one mentioned Super Furry Animals? It hasn't exactly knocked my socks off, but it's a really nice record.

earlier i scoffed when sick called them boring but the new sfa is really boring. so, i recant my earlier comment.

― keyth (keyth), Sunday, 23 October 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

Here's a vote for Metric's Live It Out.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 23 October 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

Based on the list, definitely check out:

The Joggers - 'With a Cape and a Cane'

― Patrick South (Patrick South), Sunday, 23 October 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

Here's a vote for Metric's Live It Out.

I've been enjoying it quite a bit... but my attempts to start a thread on it were greeted by a choir of derisive snorts from respectable parties, so I've shut up.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 23 October 2005 15:26 (twenty years ago)

thread tastes real indie

― c7n (Cozen), Sunday, 23 October 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

I have the SFA - it's boring.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Sunday, 23 October 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

The new Rogue Wave (I think it comes out Tuesday) is a very good album. Much better than their first, IMO.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Sunday, 23 October 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

I would agree that the SFA is somewhat boring, but sometimes I like to listen to unremarkable loveliness. I understand how some people wouldn't get into it, though.

Deerhoof isn't boring (at least to my ears).

― Super Cub (Debito), Sunday, 23 October 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)
