The best non-Sonic Youth album of the last 5 years- Gary Wilson- Mary Had Brown Hair.

Did you just walk past the National Theatre? I was smoking a fag with a collegue outside, and someone wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans who looked remarkably like you walked past.

I love the new Battles album. I've heard parts of Dungen's new one and also the new National. They're good, I think.

And Grinderman rocks.

I'll second that Mammatus recommendation. I saw them open for Acid Morthers Temple a few weeks ago and they were pretty amazing. Except for the Muu-Muus.

What about Dungen. How do people feel about their stuff? I haven't seen one bad review.

Have you done this shopping trip? What did you get? Because I saw someone who looked like you buying what looked like a Busted CD in Woolworths on the Old Kent Road.

It was him! It was him!

I can only go on a live gig i saw, but it had this Explosions in the Sky kinda feel, i think there was a Violin involved. It was certainly better than most support bands ive seen. I really dont like the latest Explosions in the Sky album, incidentally.

C'mon, DR666, I demand to know what you bought.

I ended up getting NNCK's Letters from the Earth and the new Bjork album (which I got after taking the Busted CD back - not 'gnarly' enough.)

It was me wandering past the NFT that day, too.

I feel like buying Sunn 0))) black one and blood shadow rampage.

If you have the cash, then you should. Buying records is totally sexy. If I see a girl and she's buying a record, whatever it might be, she becomes instantly better looking. If she's buying bread or milk, it won't do anything for me.
