I'd be alive more here if I weren't so damn frustrated
Damn me? Why
Well it's not my fault my iPod is full!you, you and your frustration
Well it's not my fault my iPod is full!
Well, actually, it is
Slow night tonight.
Not just in the superthread either.
Must confess that although I've been aware of Mogwai for ages, I've never properly listened to them. Should rectify that. Where's a good starting place?
Also, I need to get around to God Is An Astronaut's Far From Refuge. It's on my bloody external hard drive!
Personally, I prefer Happy Songs For Happy People. I think it's solid all the way through. Their debut album, Young Team, is also very good.
And yes, listen to Far From Refuge ASAP. I think it's as good as All Is Violent, All Is Bright.
So, I see Lanois is desperately talking up the new U2 album some more.
Got to admit that dampens my quiet optimism a little.
He's gotta be careful not to overhype the damn thing.
I feel that in most cases, albums that are talked up as innovative prior to their release tend not to actually be innovative at all.

Still haven't listened to a note of it yet.
Seriously, would it be worth at least one spin? I can't stand Coldplay's soft, ballady songs, but the more uptempo ones are sometimes not too bad if I can get past Martin's lacklustre vocals.
So, I'm four tracks into Far From Refuge. Great album so far, though at this stage I think over the equivalent stretch of the tracklist, All Is Violent/Bright remains superior.
Has Eno really said much about that album? I don't recall.
