I agree Grinderman and Sinead O'Connor not great, left both early. Foals excellent stuff, great controlled energy, slick music.<BR/>Re music in '08 didn't buy many albums, listen to radio mainly, so here are collection of top tunes over last year or so I'd recommend in no particular order:<BR/><BR/>Neon Neon - Dream Cars<BR/>Department Of Eagles - Teenagers<BR/>British Sea Power - Atom<BR/>Foals - Red Sox Pugie<BR/>Flight of the Conchords - Bowie<BR/>Last Shadow Puppets - Standing next to me<BR/>Glasvegas - Geraldine<BR/>Scarlett Johansson - Falling down<BR/>Conor Oberst - Souled out!!<BR/>Wild beasts - Devil's crayon<BR/>Vampire weekend - Oxford comma<BR/>Cathy Davey – Reuben<BR/>Fleet Foxes – White winter hymnal<BR/><BR/>Let me know what anyone things and their recommendations.<BR/><BR/>Cheers ken, Tony<BR/>-----------------------------TonyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11823778780542672955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139889275876033975.post-91008740452915496972009-01-13T13:19:00.000-08:002009-01-13T13:19:00.000-08:00Very Good Ken,Agree with you about Len's third...Very Good Ken,<BR/>Agree with you about Len's third gig it was transcendental at times only slightly ruined by the tone deaf clown two seats down from me joining in on most songs luckily enough he didn't have at least two of the albums !!<BR/>I went to Iggy & The Stooges the following night which was quite a contrast to say the least but a rockin good show..<BR/>disagree with you re Grinderman and Elbow I thought both were briliant as were MBV..The Stunning also rolled back the years with a crowd pleasing set..Big disappointments were the Grace Jones delay and the Pistols..I missed The Boss as I was in the States.<BR/>Agree with you re No Man's Land very disappointing although I really enjoyed The Weir at the same venue..<BR/>Arty wise I spent two days in The Met in NY an incredible place couldn't begin to list what was on it's massive..<BR/>Favourite Album was attack & Release by the Black Keys...Very Heavy Atmospheric Blues..Jack White could learn a thing or two from these guys.. Also enjoyed the Last Shadow Puppets with honourable mentions for The Charlatans & Supergrass who both produced work that could rock with the best of the new guns.<BR/><BR/>Well Played Sir..Roll on 2009Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795147873161392187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139889275876033975.post-21424625328640453032008-12-31T07:58:00.000-08:002008-12-31T07:58:00.000-08:00hmmm Intersting...hmmm Intersting...Derek Keoghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353847909384603813noreply@blogger.com
