Coldplay - X and Y is good but it took a few listens before it really grew on me.

Another vote from me for James Blunt & his haunting voice.

Umm....Magic Numbers is v summery,The Futureheads,Sons and daughters are an excellent Scottish band-different to most stuff around and pretty loud,The Reindeer Section-sort of Scottish Indie supergroup(!!),Garbage's new album,and failing that there's always Charlotte Church's new album?!

Dh likes the White Stripes at the mo...
I am into lush pop (I suspect you might not be Lou...), so my choice of listening is

  • The Isis Project
  • St Etienne's new one Turnpike House, plus their ancient Greatest Hits compo Too Young to Die
  • Manhattan Transfer Pastiche (only for confirmed fag-hags)
  • Pink Martini Hang on Little Tomato

    If I feel like wigging out a little I stick on The Arcade Fire, or step back in time with This

It has been remastered and it sounds stunning God I am so old, listen to me.
I did like those young whippersnappers The Killers on Live8 as well!

omg, have just seen there's a new Eric Matthews album out! If you haven't heard him before, I really recommend taking a listen.

Monkeytrousers - Ooh Brian Eno - I like his old stuff (My Life in the Bush of Ghosts). Is the new album along those lines?

Love your name btw - whenever I see it I always think of how Vic says it!

Cheers Tinygang!

Haven't herad the one you mention. I'm an Eno 1st timer. It's very innovative. Should be listened to in the car or with headphones first though so you can hear all thats going on.
