Had this on the old forums to just talk about music in general, new bands, old bands, tours etc.

I've been listening to The Lumineers lately, well impressed with them!

Really enjoying this. Looking forward to their album in January.
Also, Christopher Owens (formerly of Girls) is releasing his solo album in January as well.

You're a Fiona Apple fan right, Bobs? Should I just start with her debut then go from there?

FIONA! She's awesome.
I'm personally not a huge fan of her debut (though it is a fine album) and I much prefer her sophomore outing When The Pawn Hits...
But yeah, they're all worth a listen, though Idler Wheel and When The Pawn are the best ones.

I've basically just spent the whole of last week just listening to Sleigh Bells. Forgot how much I love them.

I've been listening to Boards of Canada quite a bit recently. Took me a while to get round to it, but I really like them now.

Been getting into quite a lot of chilled out electronic music recently, really enjoying Gold Panda, Four Tet and Aphex Twin.

Oh and Balam Acab, love this guy;

EDIT - Youtube not appearing for anyone else?

Been listening to MGMT the last few days. They're one of those bands which I don't really care about and they're not that great, but sometimes they make me really happy.

MGMT had about six decent songs on their first album. Aside from that I think they are overrated.

I wouldn't even as go as far to say six songs, maybe 4. But those songs are awesome for what they are.

Big fan of The Zac Brown Band at the moment, they're country/southern rock. Well worth a listen if your into that kind of music!

Just got Stone Sour's new album as well, it's had great reviews from pretty much everywhere. Anyone listened to it yet?

Got Lumineers tickets earlier \o/

Been listening to a band called Long Miles lately, not too bad so far.

My friends band, getting pretty big round these parts, even if it is in the fairly low key Norwich music scene.

That's pretty good tbh. Video is a bit gash though.

Yeah I know, some guy paid for their studio time but the video was just thrown together from all the footage they had of themselves.

Managed to get Killers tickets yesterday.

I couldn't pass up the chance to see them purely because of how quick they sell out!

Anyone into Tame Impala? Probably my favourite album of the year (but I can only compare it to two/three others. I've hardly listened to any new music this year).

So. Have any of you heard that one song with the super weird video where they sneak into a swimming pool and it's some vague metaphor for sex? This one, in fact.

I've seen that like three times since it's come out from people being like "dude check out this video". But I listened to it today and I don't think I realised how fucking good that song is.

You're not a fan? Or I'm not a fan.. I'm now confused.

What are you doing to me.
