These albums are my favourites of the last 10 years for lots of different reasons...
They might not all be critically acclaimed but I love each one.
I could probably add another 20 to this list but..

I think I will say why I like each one on a weekly basis..
I have seen 26 out of the 30 bands concerned..
Starting with Anthony and the Johnsons :-D

Have you heard Victoria Bergsman? She did the vocals on Peter, Bjorn, and John's Young Folks.
ReplyDeleteSeems pretty good to me. :)
What no Fuck Buttons?
ReplyDeleteAgree with much of this.Interpol definitely right. Arcade Fire at numnber 2 with "Funeral". Burial "Untrue" would also be in there. Block Peurtaey certainly not.Atr Brut - you are thier only fan. Good call with that maps album too.
Can't get past the smell of The Horrors first album..PUKE. has left a stink around Primary Colours.
Look forward to a gig with you sooneer rather than later.

Also where is MGMT?
ReplyDeleteLolol dude!! miss your wit and humour more than you can imagine!! Arcade DIRE!! I don't get them as well u know!Eddie Argos is a lyrical genius.. MGMT went off them after seeing them..4 song ponies!! A Saturday session in London is well overdue..How many pints can we fit into ten hours!! Do you fancy going to Hooky's new club in Manchester??
