Since my holiday is unfortunatly also a revision fest with exams 2 weeks after coming back I'm getting myself some albums (2ish) to keep me company by the pool. Most people bring a book, I'm bringing revision notes!

 

So heres my last FM http://www.last.fm/user/killarapp

 

You'll see I like my brit pop and my art rock, and not much else. I also like music with a bit of sadness to it, well not in Ibiza I won't.

 

So heres what im thinking about getting.

 

Something by R.E.M other than Out of time / Automatic for the people (a nice bouncy not too differcult to absorb album, that isn't depressing)

 

Modest Mouse, I love their bouncy highly interesting indie sound. I have 2 albums one of which I wasn't a fan of (Lonesome crowded west) and one I loved (Good news for people...) Thinking of getting The Moon and antartica or We were dead... but if they sound like LCW let me know so I don't waste my money.

 

Pulp - This is hardcore, I know ill love this, a nice intelligent album about hedonism, but the fact is I want something happy and relaxing, and Pulp is anything but.

 

Feeder - Polyethelene, I love Feeder, I'll have just seen them live 2 days before I go away, but this album is supposed to be pretty heavy debut, and im not really a heavy person. This bands so underrated, and they sound a bit coldplayish, so do try em out if you've never heard of them.

 

Paperfaces

- Feeling a moment

Muse used to support them on tour!

 

And lastly John Lennon's solo work, the album Imagine, though it is a bit expensive.

So do you want our oppinion on what album you should get?

You sound like very difficult person to recommend music to, very strict demands.

Where are you going on holiday?

 

Dance/electro whatever you wanna call it really chills me out, stuff like Moby, Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, Planet Funk.

Ibiza (spain)

 

@ Bombadazi - Im looking for recommedations on Modest Mouse, R.E.M (the bands listed) or something similar.

 

Im not really into dance btw and electronica is something that has to be sinister to intrest me :)

Try some Jack Johnson

 

 

That is the ultimate chill music man:cool:

Ahh right. Well I enjoyed the newest Modest Mouse at least. Don't think you can go wrong with that one.

Have you heard of Trespassers William? I heart them.

Before Imagine, I'd try either Walls & Bridges or Plastic Ono Band, those are the best JL albums IMO.

 

Also, The Moon & Antarctica is definitely MM's best album. I can't recommend it enough.

I actually bought none of these except Feeder in the end.

 

Massive attack and Thom Yorke's The Eraser :)
