The Final Track

Bleak, even for The National.

Belle and Sebastian, Dan Mangan, Susanne Sundfør and The Decemberists should give 2015 a good start.

I'm going to shamelessly plug my own band:

Danny's ok I guess. I'm not fussed about the writing in this series, though, I'm a few episodes behind at this point and don't feel like watching more. There's too much focus on who the doctor really is, which kills a lot of would have been good episodes like the who's under the bed one. The moon episode was easily a new low. Then again this series has brought us one great scene. [video=youtube;fBU6HXaib8k]

re: sending a message to the wrong person [video=youtube;ZzvZnb5fXoo]

That was the most horrible thing I've ever seen on TV. I exptected that they'd both die, but holy shit. I never want to see that episode ever in my life again.

Not this time.

Elbow! Sun Kil Moon e.s.t. Songs: Ohia The National

Heard now that it might have gone down in the Indian Sea, four hours after it went off the radar. This keeps getting stranger and stranger.

I'm against the death penalty in all cases. Making exceptions would be hypocritical.

Maybe change the title of the thread.

Their cover of All My Loving "featuring" Ringo Starr was awesome.

Elbow - "The Take Off and Landing of Everything"

I thought it wasn't going to be released until tomorrow (the 10th), so I was surprised when a Rough Trade employee offered to sell it to me on Friday. Was it released or did she make a mistake? Either way I way I was over the moon. I'm liking the sound of the album. I don't know how I would rank against their other work, but for now I'm just enjoying it. This Blue World especially is a stand out, and Fly Boy Blue is sheer force. Overall a happy Elbow fan here :bliss:

^I agree. I wonder if it's got something to do with the production. I like Fly Boy Blue very much, tho.

Seriously though, who calls their spouse from a public restroom?

The Great Gatsby (2013): 3.7/10 - a swing and massive miss. So much to comment, but bad casting tops the list.

I've got a disturbing amout of explicit dating site ads now :\

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03qf50p "New York Morning" is at about two hours and 16/17 minutes.

^Tracklist. The album art is pretty poor, though.

I love this. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dELKUivJo4w]elbow - Fly Boy Blue / Lunette - YouTube[/ame]

The "Holding on for Life" video felt somewhat incomplete. Maybe I just didn't get it.

Blue Ruin 9.1/10 Horribly real, horribly dark. Strong film.

Phoenix Suns - Detroit Pistons
