Those three for me, maybe also Janelle Monae. Could give Willie Nelson a listen and the Dr Dog album has got a cracking Uncut review.

The Janelle single was dreadful I found, shame as her first album was rather good
Yeah, that's my worry with it... first terrific, second ho hum. Third??

We Are Scientists are still decent IMO, and quite looking forward to the new one. Their first record is my least favourite funnily enough

good times. I was at that second gig and thought it was the greatest line up I'd seen but was disgusted at Plan B being there. Zane Lowe was there as well iirc.
Was like a parade of bellends now I think back.
Aye. I can remember Zane Lowe pretending to DJ and bigging up that shite Professor Green song that sampled/completely ripped off an INXS song, first time it was played on Radio 1 or something. That night will live long in the memory.
Once saw The Young Knives 'headlining' the Thursday night at Leeds festival one year when only two or three bands play. Another great night.
Got to thank @James for that! I know it can appear a bit elitist or hipster at times but there's been so much good recommended music on here that it replaces other sources as my primary place for looking for new music.
Oddly bought an early album, I think the one before With Love & Squalor but don't recall the title, from a bargain bin just a couple of weeks ago - not played it yet. Hadn't thought about them in years
Wikipedia says "Safety, Fun and Learning (In That Order)"? Self released, I think. They're not memorable. Seemed likeable so I wanted them to succeed.
Ah, sounds about right. I recall I quite liked WLAS, but I got the one after that and think I maybe played half of it and lost interest - don't remember anything about it
You're about with me there... at some point the drummer left, beyond that, I've no idea.
Ha ha, well I'm sure they speak very highly of us

Not sure what I think of the new Okkervil River album on first listen, which is a shame because I thought the last one was brilliant!

The new Damned album is well worth a listen. Got a recommendation from a friend last week. Always viewed them as a novelty punk band, how I was wrong . Discovered a few of their 1980s albums as well, no two are the same style. Real discovery for me this week, oh and the new album "Evil spirits" is my pick of the year so far.

Went to see the dmas last neet.
Got a bit tired of 6 music and went hunting for decent radio stations, found KEXP,
who also have some good live sessions on You Tube. Also found a French one FIP.
Any others around?

Not new but has anyone listened to Max Richter “Sleep”. It’s 8 hours and 204 tracks. And meant to be listened to as you sleep (they did a weird live version with fold out beds). Listened to it last night, have to say I didn’t sleep well at all
I saw footage of the live version on the news (not all 8 hours). I've listened to From Sleep, which was the accompanying album for waking listening, but not Sleep.
Didn’t realise NPR was a radio station! Had seen their tiny desk stuff on You tube.
