Hercules and Love Affair... it deserves the hype

[Jack In The Box]

H&LA anyone?

c'mon, it's from DFA, it has Antony Hegarty on vocals, it's funky, it's retro, it's dancey...

for me, one of the albums of the year

and "Blind" = song of the year

I've been hearing good thing. I'll download it right now since I trust you, Jackie.

I do like them just not sure I love it yet, been listening to it for a week now, but i'm too addicted to Neon Neon at the moment to give it a proper listen!

Antony

Antony's voice didn't age on me well at all, but I'll still probably get this if I ever see it at a store, as I liked the few songs from it I've heard (it's on my "purchase if you see it" list).

Antony is probably the best voice of "alternative" music these days

Ditto. Like, every detail.

^I don't think I have ever heard the name of my city put to a better Disco/Pop song! (which I don't think it ever has)

Plus when you have a song called I Told Her on Alderaan, the inner geek rejoices somewhat.

Song of the year, so far, the latter. Fuckin' money.
