Yes yes felt-tip. I feel it's not as good as Immers 1&2, but it's pretty fine all the same.


I'm listening to Matthew Dear's new one 'Black City' on Spotify. Techno/pop crossover (that sounds awful eh?). So far it's a bit patchy, but still has some dazzling moments.

sorry to get all comprehensive, but just yesterday, elsewhere in the ether we were having an early 2010 retrospective, so a C&P is easier. My list of the year so far:


OUTSTANDING


Janelle Monae

Arcade Fire

The National

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti


Excellent


Avi Buffalo

Male Bonding

Wavves

Morning Benders

School of Seven Bells

Joanna Newsom

Gorillaz

Jonsi

Pantha du Prince

Caribou

Bill Callahan (live album)

Big Boi

Archie Bronson Outfit


Good


Dum Dum Girls

Broken Bells

BRMC

MGMT

Woodpigeon

Beach House

The Tallest Man on Earth

Nedry

Jamie Lidell

The Black Keys

Gil Scott Heron

Holy Fuck

LCD Soundsystem


Meh


Nas & Damian Marley

Best Coast

Robyn

Band of Horses

Future Islands

Mumford & Sons

Would add Tame Impala to the upper quartile of your list - and Tokyo Police Club should make the good section.


Seems a bit harsh on Best Coast - is this not just a reaction to the not inconsiderable hype?


And Band of Horses is definitely a let down compared to previous.


Sleigh Bells I like (insert your own joke about early for Christmas) - sounds like something that shouldn't work but does.

I loved the tame impala single, but not got round to listening to the album yet...similarly with best coast; i adore 'when i'm with you', but the album just seems like the same song over and over again. The whole 60's surf pop sound is very in at the moment, and it seems to me like they're just riding the crest of the wave (excellent pun very much intended) without offering much new (i know, why change a winning formula?). For me Wavves second album does it a lot better though.

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
