Oh my god -you might be right! Is this what happiness has reduced me to?
That's it - no more good days at work, laughs with my husband or loud nights out with friends. I even made friends with an old lady on the bus on Tuesday and turned Stiff Little Fingers off my ipod to talk to her.............
Normal angry angsty service will no doubt be resumed shortly.

Bardo Pond - SSH from Batholith [Three Lobed Recordings, 2008]
I'm glad these guys are still going strong. This is one of my favorite rock records from '08 even if it is not a proper "album".

Julian Cope - Peggy Suicide
Julian Cope is an under-valued UK national treasure IMO.
This album is a cracker, containing some of Cope's best work. Varied Alt Rock, much of it tinged with a "psychedelic", Doorsy feel.
Not a weak track, again IMO...

Animal Hospital -
His Belly Burst from
Memory [Barge Recordings, 2009]
Quote:it has all these different, wildly incompatible ideas that somehow come together and merge into eachother, making use of electronic devices, shelves of effects, delay units, as well as shiny guitar tones, vocal washes, and dramatic build-ups that create a unique sound you're unlikely to come across again despite all the familiar elements squeezed in

Free CD that came with last week's NME - different bands doing Cure cover versions.
I am appalled at what Lostprophets have done to 'Boys Don't Cry' - one of the best songs ever and they've made it featureless and boring. Liked the Get Up Kids (Close to me) and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly (In between days) though - although I liked them/him before this CD
