Got hold of the new strephonics album, and I'm loving it!

Language. Sex. Violence. Other? - a great mixture with some banging tunes (did I really just say banging tunes...)

Katrina
Kaiser Chiefs: "Employment"
It's new, it sounds old, it swaggers, it rhymes, it's gobby, it's Northern, it's mod, it rocks.
Kasabian: "Kasabian"
Go back to your teenage years with this Stone Roses-alike (but that's not a bad thing per se)
Damien Rice: "O"
Folky, Irish, quiet, downbeat, heartbreaking. But still lovely. And it has that song out of "Closer" in it.
Jimbo
Kaiser Chiefs and The Bravery - very smooth indeed and worth a punt.
Katrina
The Bravery: "The Bravery"
They sound like New Order (so Topsy will hate them on prinicple as they are not Joy Division) and yep that's a thumbs up from me too.
Moggsie
@Katrina - if you like Damien Rice then you might also like James Blunt "Back to Bedlam"
ecooney
Basement Jaxx - oh my gosh, red alert,

Jem - They, come on closer

Chemical brothers - get yourself high, Galvanize

Red hot chilli peppers - road trippin, scartissue, velvet glove

Right I am creaming myself over this fine piece of work.
Kaikoura Roots Festival CD from this years festival.
Fantastic mix of tunes, PLUS you get the 2004 CD as a bonus, which is just as good a CD in its own right! Lots of chilled out reggae and dub, and a few other bits and pieces too.

Theres some phat tunes in this CD its wicked. Im stoked im going to be spending long hours in the car this weekend so I can really listen to it. (Car is my favorite place to listen to music smile.gif )
Katrina
"Devils and Dust" - Bruce Springsteen
If you always thought that Broooooce was rock and roll and holler, this may well change your mind.
It is thoughtful, quiet, dark, explicit (has a parental advisory sticker), honest and slows a social consciousness possibly not seen in Springsteen since the days of "The River"
Not an easy album, but worth a listen and then some
"Von Hier An Blind" - Wir Sind Helden
Less immediate, more mellow, less rock, more touching but still with that Heldenzeit wink
Gator Fan
Lit

Never really been a big fan of their music, but I had the chance to see them live tonight in a small venue and they really rocked. Their live show was awesome.

Let's just say I have been lit. wink.gif

audioslave ,new album out of exile
acockreland2balls
the best album to fly out of Munich in a while is...

Future Sounds of Jazz Vol. 10

not jazz in a jazz sense ..more kind of groovy, loungey, sort of ting ...samples are available on Munich: Compost Records
GreenCurry
Out Hud : S.T.R.E.E.T.D.A.D. and new album Let Us Never Speak of It Again.
Johnny English
Graham Coxon - Happiness in Magazines. (I think he is ex-Blur). Reminds me a little of The Jam I guess. Great album.

Garbage - Bleed like me.

Embrace - Out of Nothing.
Timmeh
Burning Spear - Man in the Hills
Fanfuckintastic
Kza
@Timmeh Burning Spear, good recomendation, great stuff!!

And for some clever rap with really nice beats check out "Operation: Doomsday" by MF Doom But check out the price and tell me its wrong to download!
Tim
I did a quick search and scanned through the post and didn't see Zero 7. Is that even possible?

Anyway:

Zero 7.
Johnny English
Listening to "The Proclaimers" - Sunshine on Leith. Kinda fun with their sweaty accents!
Wee Mun
Classic album JE:

I'd never been lucky with girls I confess
Don't know who to blame for my lack of success
Cause even with ones up the back of a bus
There was always the risk of a slap in the puss
MoiLV
keydeck- I can listen to Massive Attack's Mezzanine over and over again. Or Moloko's remix album.. I forgot exactly how it's called, something like, All Back To the Mine...??
randy
Shout Out Louds - Howl Howl Gaff Gaff - Good, melodic, unaffected Swedish indie pop. Would be sweet if they ever play in Munich.

Paul Anka - Rock Swings - Big-band treatment to some hits of the last couple decades. "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Love Cats", "Blackhole Sun", "Wonderwall", etc.
Topsy
Burning Spear!! fantastic stuff

kza/timmeh/anybody else - have you got a copy of Misty in Roots Live at Counter Eurovision?

for some reason they stopped making the cd, and my vinyl version is not playable mad.gif (should have been a sobbing smiley, really, but couldn't find one)
eriiki tubbs
Subsurfing - Frozen Ants

Probably no one has heard of this, but I promise you, if you want something completely different, this is music that sounds like its from the year 3005! Or as the above bio so eloquently describes it: "...intriguing pandemonium of cutting atmospherics, enchanting Indian textures and deranged hi-tech dub, displaying a stunning virtuosity in the combined use of electronics and live instrumentation."

It is absolutely mind blowing. And for anyone who wants a copy, just PM me (cuz it is very difficult to find this album anywhere anymore sad.gif )

Sorry Topsy, don't think I do...I'll have a check tonight to see if I have it in iTunes, but I don't think so.
DrivinWest
I'm listening to the Garden State soundtrack right now and it's f-ing incredible. Love the movie too.
mightypies
Watched the Real Cancun again last night - piss funny flick.

Bad Ronald's 'First Time' is probably one of the best summer songs.

MysteryMan
You wouldn't be a NOFX fan by any chance would you? wink.gif
"I heard they suck live" is their best album, easy.

Never heard their song:
"Insulted By Germans (Again)"
but looking at the lyrics on the net it sounds cool.

"So lets all move to Australia, Sydney city of queers
All we need to bring is American drugs and German beers"
Katrina
Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams
the sound of a horizonal summer, if you're any more relaxed than this then you might need resuscitation.
Guess everyone has heard it already but it wasn't listed so I listed it.
