thanks for any ideas!

NS, Bat for Lashes already been mooted
Love fur and gold!

good one northernsoul

I like this one by Band of Horses

I like that Dresden Dolls Talky

what about Carbon/Silicon ?

pendulum are good...(probably already been mentioned, only read the op)

did you listen to the grandaddy?

What's your other thread OMDB? I feel like I should support you in gratitude for introducing me to Death cab for cutie...
(Am downloading as we speak...)

allergic to the Fall?

a tricky customer I see.

Low? I've rediscovered Trust recently, but Things We Lost in the Fire is ace and the best thing is the EP with Two Step on it.

Have you heard the new Portishead album? I haven't but apparently it's great.

All I get to listen to these days is reggae as it's my 11 week old DD's absolute favourite - babies love rocksteady.

yep liked grandaddy, sounded familiar.

here's the other thread. Would appreciate any advice!

ah OMDB - is it your creepy 'friend' thread?

lol x-posts.

er, advice? run for the hills.....!

Another gem who i've recently discovered is Bon Iver..guy splits up with his band takes hisself off to a remote log cabin in wisconsin for 3 months and ends up making an album and the result is For Emma forever ago. One of the best things i've heard in a long time and i do listen to a ridiculous amount of music

roffle!

Yes, I'm running

Full and OMDB may i appluad you on your fine taste in music...aah i love this thread

Oh northern soul, listening to bon iver now - how fabulous! I'm so excited to have have two new names tonight

(and I listen to a lot of music too....)

I presume we all like Nick Drake as a matter of course??

I watched him support Iron and Wine the other week..i was rooted to the spot gobsmacked..its good to spread on the gospel

ohhhh! I was t5rying to find a Youtube link for Iron and Wine for this lot but failed...I adore Irona dn Wine

Nick Drake one of the best musicians we've ever produced..so sad he didnt get to experience the adulation. Recently finished his biography..made me hear his music with different ears

yes Nick Drake is godlike in the OMDB household (I sent an email to creepy guy by the way!)

Northernsoul thank you for introducing me to Bon Iver, by jove he's good!

did you ever see that beautiful documentary on him> so sad.

Oh full it was one of those gigs which stays with you for a long time..brilliant

Bon Iver is a bit nick Drakey isn't it. Good stuff.

full sounds wierd, fmf if you please

very much in the bon iver vibe, have you seen the film Once?

this song is sublime

Hmmm, come on rather a long way from the OP haven't we?

Yes saw the documentary, i had no idea he was so tormented..so sad..never got that sense listening to his music until i knew his background then understood his lyrics more.
I guess depression in the 70's was little understood.
