Im bored and listening to music and thought Id share some band names and thatRight first up,
Girl Talk - sampler blokey than mainly mixes modern commercial hiphop/rap with indie, rock, cheesy samples of all sorts into a really nice proper white boy experience to rap music. If your white and dont like rap this is probably for you.
The Dodo's - Thought Id mention these since there on a tour of the UK soon so I thought Id big them up a bit. If I had to say one band they sound like it would be animal collective, by brother in law rekcons midlake I dont see it. But anyway definetly worth downloading the album, its a grower, I though tit was quite samey first 2/3 listens of it but its fucking great one you 'get' it.
Top 5 'pop' albums you might not have heardBeulah-When Your Heart Strings BreakReally well produced album, and is a bit fo a treat with headphones for some songs, barley a duff song on it and quite varied. I really cant think of much of a description probably not for any of them as I really just want to tell people about them. But it has a bit brass and violins, pianos and that with the usual pop 4 piece.
Apples in Stereo-Fun Trick NoisemakerI think a few people on here like them, Ive only geard a couple fo albums, the last main one which I thought had a couple of excellent pop songs but for the majority bored me. But this one is again a near perfect album with great pop songs all the way through, so If you like their newer stuff check this album out.
Flake Music-When You Land Here, It's Time to ReturnWho? This is The Shins before they were The Shins, the album hasnt got the best of production and downloading a copy is probably going to be your best bet of actually hear it, I could be wrong so slap on the wrist if you can actually buy it. But for me its better than the shins albums, alot more direct in their methods if missing some of the wonderful swirly keyboards of the shins stuff.
Architecture in Helsinki-In Case We DieIm not sure how well these are known, when I heard this album a few years back ecery person I shoved it on loved it, from punks, rockers, to general brit poppers really liked this album. Catchy as fuck, often quite clever, pretty much always upbeat. They've also got a newer album called 'Places Like These' which is 80's tastic, seems to brush upon what scissor sisters did but not in a absolutely hateful way but in a mega cheesy mega fun way, eb honest thats only for a couple of songs but its another great pop album.
Of Montreal-Cherry PeelAgain not sure how many people know these on the forum, there quite well known for an indie band, and I have to say from what Ive heard from their latter few album I dont like them except a song called 'Disconnect the Dots' which is a brilliant pop song. But anyway this is their first album, and I downloaded it so not sure of the physical availability of it, its alot mroe twee, general pop music to the more weirder stuff their doing now but I remember enjoying this album alot.
Anyway Ive made a long post and wasnt meaning to, mgiht do one every month or so quite enjoyed it.
I'll end with 2 youtubes of possibly my favourite singer/songwriter Tim Buckley, the best voice in the World, and the son of Jeff Buckley. Proper soulful heart melting music. handsome cunt aswell.
A few sad songs for you.

For some reason my brain has turned this into a Harry Hill show segment involving his brother Alan. Just thought you'd like to know.
