Rough and Rowdy Ways
For the first time in a long while, I can say I'm actually into a new release. The comeback track from Doves - Carousels.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9a239ZI3iYI&feature=youtu.beThe video has a nice bit of brutalist concrete, floating about in a Chris Nolan style too.

I'd pretty much given up on Doves ever coming back. This sounds like something from Some Cities era with a beat box and a bit more poptimism. First impression is that it might be too catchy to have long life, but we'll see.
Sydney, Ever now and again I find myself being drawn in by the cool sleeve art to listen to a bit of jazz. John Coltrane, Bill Evans. Nice!I quite like a bit of Latino stuff too. The interesting thing I've noticed is when black American musicians and hiphop artists are talking about underground music that inspires them they often mean jazz. Pretty obvious I suppose, jazz is woven right through hiphop and house music.
Think it needs a few listens to decide but up there with some of his better work
The new Fontaines dc album is pretty good
I was given an AirPlay copy by someone who works on an internet radio station and it’s as good as the three songs they’ve released as singles this year. The next tour is priced at over £30 with fees though so not for me. First saw them supporting Shame with HTMLD the other year. £10 for all three!
Pop up Jim Bob by Jim Bob (ex Carter USM)Absolutely fantastic. Gets better and better with every listen. Today is Record Store Day so I'm off to pick up my chosen vinyl this morning (pre-ordered 3 (Carter USM, New Order, The The). And I got tickets to see Idles this week too. That's not til May next year though (assuming gigs are back on)
That's a gem RD. Never heard of Penny and the Quarters.I do have an ideological stance that advertising should not be allowed to use prior music. Ever since that Lurpak advert that had the temerity to arse about with the Agnus DEI from Fauré's Requiem, which is one of THE most greatest music creations of all time.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DVGHLriHhvtg&ved=2ahUKEwjxzOH5o8DrAhX0nVwKHSRxA0s4ChCjtAEwAHoECAkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0k3bAIPhAxUsEm5kFZ6mTsIt is THE most emotionally charged 5 minutes of music I have ever heard and some t**t in an advertising agency chose to use it to signify the "sophistication" of f**king butter. Here's the full piece. Someone once said that only an atheist like Faure could write a Requiem that was so emotionally moving. He wrote it for his own mother's funeral and it shows. I want this at my funeral and I want everyone to bawl their eyes out.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dq1FKoPO-S2w&ved=2ahUKEwi-hefnpsDrAhWGUcAKHbb6AUIQyCkwAnoECAUQAw&usg=AOvVaw0Lce6Azpzqmx1-Yyl1NeIZ
