Picture of the record you are playing right now or GTFO

With permission from the Mods I said I would start a thread where you could post a picture of the album/record you are currently playing or listening too. Pics or GTFO I should have started this a week ago. I'm currently playing the soundtrack from the movie Submarine, artist: Alex Turner. This record is good for rainy days

Great little power pop album from the 1980s, check it out if you like The Feelies and/or The Kinks.

Bethany Curve - You Brought Us Here (2001)
One of the best shoegaze albums of the 00's. This album is dark, slow and very heavy on atmospherics. The band sometimes sound like Slowdive on downers.

underrated album! Used to be a big rap fan but moved onto pastures anew when I was about 16. However this album still makes my top 10! Really good stuff!

Hooverphonic - The Magnificent Tree (2000)
A pretty damn good Belgian trip-hop band. The album has a nice night-time feel reminiscent of Portishead at times and some brilliant vocals to top it all off. I've had this on heavy rotation over the past week.

Haven't got around to checking this album out yet. I like 69 Love Songs and Distortion, is Realism anywhere near as good?

Well it's more palatable than '69' as it only contains a paltry 13 songs and the fuzzy Jesus and Mary Chain stylings of 'Distortion' are replaced with the more familiar acoustic sound. If you are a fan of MF you won't be disappointed. You Must Be Out Of Your Mind is the title track and this will give you an inkling as to what the album is like.

No pic here so I'd better GTFO

School Of Seven Bells - Disconnect From Desire (2010)
One of my favourite albums from last year and one of the best dream-pop albums in recent years. There's still one or two filler tracks but when it's good, it's good.

quality band! quality album!

This may not be an alt/indie album but that's the style of music I listen to the most and I'm loving Watch The Throne by Jay-Z & Kanye.

Been listening to this a lot lately; I never realised it was so good

Good stuff. I think I'd class it as interesting IDM/techno/house with vocals and occasional guitars.

Quality album.

As regards myself, I've been jumping between this and Meat Is Murder all week:

A grower. Sounds at times like Codeine, Red House Painters and/or American Music Club. Very nice stuff. Check out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZBHpXffkMU.

After four or five listens I've concluded that Berlinette album by Ellen Allien is a total classic.

The Horrors 3rd album is on my ipod/computer non-stop nearly.

Idaho are a decent band. I first heard them on a cassette given away with Lime Lizard in 1993 - also featured Trumans Water, Grifters, Polvo, Liz Phair, GvsB etc.

I bought Year after Year on the strength of it and seem to have accumulated eight of their albums. Haven't played them in years though.

Good memory! They totally slipped under the radar for me. I never really went further than Low, Red House Painters and American Music Club in terms of slowcore back in the 90s - I only heard about them from the review of their new album on Pitchfork.

Could you recommend any more like this and Codeine? Frigid Stars from them is great too imo.

Arcade Fire's Funeral is always good.

I liked their last LP The White Birch. I bought that one first and worked backwards.

Aside from the bands you mention, I didn't really investigate further than them. I have a few bits missing from the Sun Kil Moon / Mark Kozelek discography that I need to pick up. Songs For A Blue Guitar is my favourite RHP - Make Like Paper is amazing.

only discovered it last week, been listening to it non-stop since.

The guy in that band is so damaged. There's a Norwegian band called The White Birch which makes sadcore-y kind of stuff too and I'd imagine their name is in tribute to Codeine. This is one of their tunes, off Come Up For Air - v good album imo:

I have to admit I wasn't gone on April or Admiral Fell Promises (although Australian Winter is sweet). I'd probably go for the Japanese Gardens album as a favorite. I bought it second hand on casette in the Blackrock Market (it could have been the Grafton Flea Market either - it was a long time ago), probably my most satisfying 2nd hand purchase. Agree re Make Like Paper, it's class. Reminds me a bit of Marquee Moon structure wise, with the humongous guitar solo in the middle. Some of the live versions of MLP on the internet are quite nice.
