That sucks. :sad: A couple of weeks back, I read that Alex and Nick are working on new songs again, but nothing official/exciting/particularly interesting.

Control. 7/10 A bit disappointing, but impressive nonetheless. :nice:

Julie, kill the people who get to nominate stuff instead. That's way more satisfying. :nice:

I know! I wasn't planning on it, but it just.. happened. Plus, because of my student grant I can travel for free during either weekends or weekdays, so I usually don't even have any transport costs. The main problem is this though: That's a 2,5 hour single journey and the last train leaves at 23:30 (sometimes a bit too early to stay all the way through the encore). :dozey: I just can't help myself. :wacky:

I'm kinda on the fence about seeing them because the venue they're playing at is rather big (it holds about 1500) compared to venues they've played at before (250-450). It's a converted church, so the atmosphere is amazing for any kind of band. I don't think it will sell out quickly though, so I still have some time to think about it. Well, that and I'm kind of broke. :sad: They're playing here end May by the way. My concert schedule would be like this: May 3 Flight of the Conchords May 4 LCD Soundsystem May 15 Ólafur Arnalds (possibly, haven't got a ticket yet) May 18 Broken Social Scene May 23 The New Pornographers May 25 The Antlers May 26 Beach House (possibly, haven't got a ticket yet) May 31 Snow Patrol (possibly, have got a ticket but it depends on the support act whether I go) June 2 Jónsi That's.. 45 hours of travelling. I'd basically be living in trains. XD It's a bit too crazy, but I won't be able to go to many concerts in June as I have finals then. (I have to do some serious studying because I failed a lot of courses in January :dozey:) I'll probably buy a ticket if I get a job soon though. :wacky:

Yeah, but even now it's hard to know whether or not to include 2009 albums because they've had way less time to prove themselves. At least, I really had trouble with 2009, even though it was a really good year.

It should only win best special effects or whatever that category is called. I'll just be checking the winners tomorrow morning. Don't really feel like watching the whole yaddayaddaboo and I don't have access to digital tv anymore, so I can't watch it live this year anyway.

I've been listening to the Broken Bells one since January and it's still good. :nice: I'm listening to Peepers by Polar Bear and I really like it so far. In fact, I think it deserves its own thread. It's jazzy instrumental stuff. :cool: Boo, I don't think it's on youtube. :sad:

I really like that title. Most Dutch titles suck big time. :P Dance Party in the Balkans - Alaska in Winter

Polar Bear - Peepers (album)

Searching for titles only helps a lot. Anyway, I really like SSPU. They kind of remind me of a shoegaze version of The Smashing Pumpkins, somehow.

It roughly means "they want to pet your dog, but (they do) not (want to) talk to you". It's Dutch. :P Burial - Burial

Ze Willen Je Hond Wel Aaien, Maar Niet Met Je Praten - Roosbeef Ha. :P

Maasai Mara - The Ruby Suns

Nizlopi

Iain Archer

xx - The xx

Last fm says no and we all know last fm is always right. :nice: Earth to Calm - Scott Matthews

Gonjasufi - Candylane

Von - Sigur Rós

Get Well Soon

I bet that there's no song starting with ) :P Man Under the Sea - Patrick Watson

Noah and the Whale :facepalm: Talking Heads

Kamera - Wilco

Pitchfork likes this. I'm not so sure yet, but the album is pretty interesting (and weird) on the first listen. :nice: [ame= ] [/ame] You can stream the album here and here (for last fm users) for a week, but you'd have to try for yourself to see whether it works for non-Dutch ips as well.
