:nice: Thanks Grace

Hi, I made this tape. :D Obviously, us both being massive Elbow fans, that gave me the foundation to work on :) I'm glad you liked it overall, and I'm glad you thought it flowed well, I didn't really put that much time into the tracklist as I normally do, I just kind of chucked something together this time. Anyway, ummm, I don't think there's any Aussie music on here, it's mostly British/American... American. Thought this made for a nice opener, cos I like the intro. The band's called the Airborne Toxic Event. I guess the Jonsi-like vocal is the girl backup singer. I recently gave Graham Coxon's solo work a listen and this was one of the stand-out highlights, just a nice, pretty acoustic thing. I didn't like most of his stuff that I heard cos his accent is too annoying :( Yeah, I got the album recently, kind of on a whim really. I really only like this song and Tonight's The Night. I haven't really played much of the rest of the album, as you say it's nowt special. I used to really like Fleet Foxes. Now I still like them, but I find them a bit repetitive and same-y. This is a nice little cover I ripped from somewhere, but I'm not a massive fan of the slightly over-the-top vocals. They're called First Aid Kit, I think they're Swedish. Neither, they're British. This is one of my favourite songs of theirs, mostly cos I love the guitar/cello bow thing on it. It does have a dark, gothic feel to it. It's The Coral, and more people should listen to 'em, if you ask me, so if you liked this you should definately check out the rest of this album :-) Yup, timeless. I love Simon & Garfunkel, even tho I just don't listen to them as much as I should. I love how you can listen to stuff like this and hear how it has influenced and shaped loads of other bands since. Beautiful. No not Foals. Arctic Monkeys. I've never been much interested in them until I heard the new album, which is pretty amazing. This song's probably my current fave of theirs, the lyrics are a bit mental. The swearing was - sing another fuckin shalalalalala - I love that line. :-) This is The Coral again. I couldn't choose between these two songs of theirs so I put 'em both on. I think they'd be well happy with a Nirvana comparison. Ummm no, they're from Leicestershire, I think - The Midlands, not Liverpool. Actually I think this guy sounds more Southern England. I'd have understood if you'd have noticed the Liverpudlian accent in the previous track :-\ (The Coral are from The Wirral) but anyway accents aside.... these are called The Young Knives, or just Young Knives. I've only got their recent, third album so don't know much about them, but it's a decent album. Not bad. If you like this song, give Love My Name a listen too, that's a really good one. Cheesy! Muse! ohmygod /offended :P The string section is an integral part of this rather amazing Canadian band. This is one of their calmer tracks, but really everything they do is beautiful imo. They are called Hey Rosetta! haha I guess it does sound a bit 80s. But it's really upbeat and bouncy. This guy is the singer of The Guillemots, Fyfe Dangerfield. Miles Kane - he has had loads of comparisons with The Coral cos they have the same 60s influences, similar guitar techniques, they're all from the same town and he's James Skelly's cousin, so kind of hard to avoid those comparisons really. This whole album is chockfull of really catchy, soulful, really great tunes. Same band as Track 1. I wanted to start the tape with Track 1 but then I thought this song fitted in more with your music tastes, I couldn't decide between the two so I stuck 'em both on. It's quite pretty this song, I thought you might like it, but it's ok that you didn't, it does feel a little slow. Fancied a dramatic conclusion and what's more dramatic than Kasabian's The Doberman. This song's breath-taking. I love it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the album's got a bit of a country-flavour to it. He's apparently also been writing/working with David McDonnell of The Sand Band and Noel wants him in his touring band. I've just discovered their debut album (They're The Coral's label-mates) and they use a lot of pedal steel, but in a subtle way; not out-and-out country. (I highly reccommend their album if anyone's interested ;) ) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kret_T1nv20]YouTube - ‪The Sand Band - Set Me Free‬‏[/ame]

$55 (American) is about 30ish quid, which is the same as Elbow tix at the MEN, so that seems fairly normal to me. However, $80 australian dollars is over 50 quid which is excessive, I agree. But it looks like they can get away with it there, if it's sold out. They'd get sooo much stick if they tried charging that in Manc :lol:

Seeds is gonna top my end of year list fo' sho :smug:

Aw crap. I meant to pre-order that tinset from their website while they had the tins with the broken bits of guitar in :( I forgot all about it :bigcry: Oh I'll just get teh cd/dvd on it's own then... I'm in :cheesy:
