Just gave him a whirl, lovely stuff. Definite touches of Jeff Buckley about him, not a bad thing!

New Foxygen album is great. Takes a couple of listens.

Priests - Nothing Feels Natural
A mixture of spiky post-punk and riot grrrl aggression. All capped off by a fantastic vocalist.

Spotify

Fourth track I believe from 'Pure Comedy'

Leaving LA - starts around the 1 minute mark

I'm really enjoying Elbow's new album 'Little Fictions' at the minute.

Cloud Nothings record is pretty good too.

I found it boring compared to their previous two albums.

New Sun Kil Moon album Common as Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Blood is out.

It's a double album that runs to 130 minutes in length. Should put a pep in your step.

Complete and utter self-indulgent tripe of the highest order.

Surely not as indulgent as the latest animal collective offering:pac:

Whilst both the guardian and pitchfork slated animal collectives latest album they also smashed clap your hands say yeah the tourist.:eek:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/feb/23/clap-your-hands-say-yeah-the-tourist-review-wichita

But where his manic energy was once applied to buoyant pop, there is now a cluttered chaos, any prettiness scribbled out and made more complicated, distorted.

http://www.npr.org/2017/02/16/515000353/first-listen-clap-your-hands-say-yeah-the-tourist

The Tourist can get intense, even dark. But it also captures a sense of creative mischief — the sort of live-wire creativity that keeps music careers going longer than early skeptics could have imagined.

Ahh the subjectivity of music but I think its a very good album by any standards.

It's not for you so I guess! No denying that it's an album that could do with a judicious trimming in length and can often feel overbearing, but I admire him for being so uncompromising and still think he's one of the most brutally honest and direct lyricists in modern music.

There doesn't appear to be a service charge on that. What gives?

Can you get most tickets on Seatadvisor at cost price (or is it a reseller like toutless)?!?

I do not know why there is no service charge. I also suspect this might end up being moved like car seat headrest to another venue(although I hope not!).
I have not used seatadvisor but suspect its selling hard to get tickets at a inflated prices.

There do appear to be tickets on Ticketmaster, were you saying they were sold out before?

Nice to save on service charges even though it's only €2.65. Anything to stick it to Ticketmaster.
