I’ve said it once. I’ve said it a thousand times. God, the War on Chris Rea are dull beyond belief
Mark Kozelek is of a similar opinion.
He’s an utter wanker mind.
Well, yes, whereas Adam Granduciel seems quite nice.

They’re a weird band. Seem to go between fantastic (on the rare occasion) and completely middle of the road.

If only it were this simple
It would be nice if it could be as simple as best album gets the accolade but, of course it isn't.

I've tried countless times to get into them, but it's just background music to me. He's nailed the sound, but I think that papers over the cracks that he doesn't really write great songs.

Reading recent posts reminded me of the music charts in Viz which I recall was worked out by the largest bribe.
A Deeper Understanding was great.
Only had one listen of this one. Nothing standing out to me. Will give it another go but I found that a very dull first listen.

Couple of live albums came out Friday from Dinosaur Jr and The The with the latter also being available as a DVD and Blu-Ray. Watched it today. Decent.
Right, my quick once over of new albums this week...
The Wilderness of Manitoba: indiefolk typs from Canada, who are very good live. This is their 5th or 6th album and is pretty nice.
Marissa Nadler: the usual spectral folk thing. Very good but I preferred her lo-fi earlier releases.
Justin Adams & Mauro Durante: JA is a guitarist who regularly collaborates with Robert Plant. MD is a violinist and percussionist. This is a bit desert blues, a bit folk and a lot good.
Hayes Carll: country singer-songwriter does what he does well.
Billy Bragg: he's in his stately 60 something period. Good songs, well performed.
Geese: I like them. They've got an interesting, quite Angolophile sound. Very promising.
The War on Drugs: lots of Chris Rea, lots of Mark Knopfler, not enough Frankie Stubbs. They seem to be smoothing out what made them interesting.
Philip Frobos: indie singer-songwriter who seems to use a bon tempi organ to provide percussion. Quite weird and not entirely pleasant.
Ashley Shadow: female singer-songwriter. This is very good, reminds me of Low if Mimi sang all the songs and the hadn't discovered electronica recently.
Lily Konigsberg: punky poppy punk. Pretty good, very brief.
Lotic: dark electronica which gets its warmth through female vocals. This is quite enjoyabe.
Linda Fredriksson: pastoral jazz from Finland, which kind of goes a bit folk. Really good!
Nightmares On Wax: the veteran chill out artist makes another good album mixing electronica, dub, house and reggae.
Album of the Week: in quiet one, I'll say Linda Fredriksson just shades it from Ashley Shadow, Geese and Billy Bragg.

New song from Spiritualized just popped up....very nice.
Listened to Jonsi today - canny, very ambient. I'll listen again tomorrow.
