Not sure how many Hip Hop fans there are on here but Freeway's new album "Free Will" is pretty good as is Drake's "Views."

The new Car Seat Headrest album is ace. They played Glastonbury on the Park stage at 11am, American band. If you're into Pavement, Dinosaur Jr etc then it'd be right up your street.
Never heard any of there stuff until Frankie Sinatra. Got sent this as a promotional e-mail,
"So cross over to the 'other side' with us, and hop aboard the 'Indian Valley Line', that imaginary railroad in hobo folklore to that mystical place at the end of the rainbow... Coz they don't live on dreams like us."
Peace and love, always, The Avalanches"
The album is a decent listen but never really gets going for me.
Dinosaur Jnr - Give A Glimse of What Yer Not.
Enjoying this
Anthony and the Johnsons album, I'm a bird now, just came to my attention. It's extraordinary.
The follow up, Hopelessness, now by Anohni, needs a few listens, but is very rewarding too.
Couple of very interesting collaborations.
Banks & Steelz - Anything But Words
Really like this. RZA from Wu-Tang Clan and Paul Banks from Interpol.
Prophets Of Rage - The Partys Over.
A definite supergroup! Members of RATM, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill.
Sylar - Help.
The Rifles - Big Life
Thee Oh Sees - A Weird Exits
The Parrots - Los Ninos Sin Miedo
used to love the rifles, haven't listend to the album but wasn't keen on the few tracks released from it in the build up. Will give the album a go though.
Ive been enjoying these lately:
Cosmonauts - A-OK!
Factory Floor - 25 25
Tijuana Panthers - Ghost Food
I was the same in that I listened to 'Numero Uno' and wasn't thrilled.. then read a review a couple of weeks back which tried to tell me Numero Uno was the standout. There's a few decent tunes on there - I like Johnny was a friend of mine, I like 'Victoria' until the kids singing comes in and I just can't help thinking it doesn't sound right!!*** edit - was listening again today and it's not Victoria I'm talking about, it's 'young for a day' that his the kids singing!
I like a few of the tunes enough to suspect the album will grow.
They are playing Glasgow Garage in November FYI :aok:
Got the new King Creosote and Hayley Bonar albums today. King Creosote's new one is arguably the best of his career. Hayley Bonar sounds like a slightly more guitar based and much more credible Lana Del Rey but kind of fizzles out of ideas by the time the last 2-3 songs come around. Still a good listen though.
Jamie T - Trick
Impressive first listen.
Dear Satellite by Mull Historical Society is as good as anything they've done in the past.
At the Queens Hall recently I saw a collection of female folksingers who collaborated on an album called Songs of Separation.
It was a magical evening and the album is a pure delight.
Here's one of the songs, London Lights.

'The Nation's 20 Favourite Carpenters Songs'. Karen Carpenter's voice is a thing of beauty. :agree:
Haley Bonar - Impossible Dream
This is a top notch album.
New Teenage Fanclub offering, Here, sounds pretty good after my first listen. The usual standard of nice melodies and harmonies in well written songs. A wee bit samey I suppose but decent considering how long they've managed to remain relevant or there abouts.
Black eyed diaries by heavy ball decent mixture between ska /indie some really catchy tracks
It's not a new album, so sorry fir the hijack, but I've just finished listening to Blinking Lights and Other Revelations by Eels again.
If you don't know it, spend some time doing so.
A modern classic. What a life that man had.
Angel olsen - my women
Will need to check out her earlier albums.over the weekend but doubt they'll be as good as this
