I read a review of Elvis perkins's album yesterday. He's the son of the guy from the philm 'Psycho' isn't he. Will definitely give it a listen. Thank you Boco

don't like fleet foxes one bit. Mykonos made me want to cry nails every time it came on the raDIO

daftpunk · 27/03/2009 16:55

girl....you have no taste

beanieb · 27/03/2009 16:56

have to say that 'white winter hymnal' is being played to death on radio 2, as was Mykonos. I do love the album and the last EP though and think there are better songs than Mykonos in it.

pointydog · 27/03/2009 16:56

oh but I do

Boco · 27/03/2009 17:00

What kind of thing do you like then pointy?

sweetcat · 27/03/2009 17:05

I love them and also can't wait to see them in Glastonbury beanieb

pointydog · 27/03/2009 17:05

ohhh, this and that. You know. Reasonably open minded and eclectic. Indie slant. I dunno. Erm. Eels, sparklehorse, devendra, beck, vashti bunyan, karine polwart, the feeling, sigur ros, flaming lips. Just not FF

Boco · 27/03/2009 17:16

Hmm. Curious. I expected you to say you only ever listen to cheryl crowe or something, to back up how justplainwrong you are! Am baffled now.

Heathcliffscathy · 27/03/2009 17:17

sparklehorse. i heart sparklehorse.

daftpunk · 27/03/2009 17:18

pointydog..i love sigur ros

pointydog · 27/03/2009 17:20

You seriously think I would only listen to cheryl crowe.

How misrepresented I am on this site. By myself obv.

pointydog · 27/03/2009 17:21

saw sparkelhorse live a couple of years ago.superb

pointydog · 27/03/2009 17:21

and dh had to see sigur ros on his own as dd1 became very sick. He played it to me on his mobile

Heathcliffscathy · 27/03/2009 17:23

the arcade fire?

pointydog · 27/03/2009 17:24

hmm, not so.

calexico I love

Boco · 27/03/2009 17:48

Love arcade fire. Saw them at latitude, then last year saw sigur ros. They were good, but arcade fire were the best gig I've seen I think.

daftpunk · 27/03/2009 18:04

love arcade fire...my body is a cage is a great song...boco..you have a mighty fine taste in music

MargaretMountford · 27/03/2009 18:13

arcade fire one of my favourites too !

daftpunk · 27/03/2009 18:19

MM...i've just looked on your profile... (hope you don't mind)...fellow arcade fire lover and all that!....your ds is absolutely beautiful

Raahh · 27/03/2009 20:29

In answer to the OP, yes, it is lovely.
I love the Fleet Foxes- they are all so ...hairy!

RaggedRobin · 27/03/2009 20:52

back to midlake: this was on constant rotation in our house last year

roscoe

beanieb · 27/03/2009 21:15

I would seriously consider Roscoe as a name for a child just because of that song RaggedRobbin. I love 'Bandits' too.

I just love the whole 'settlers' feel of the album.

MargaretMountford · 27/03/2009 21:19

daftpunk - thank you !
