still here

Sorry for the lack of updates.

Have not been well over the last week but am also suffering a lot disillusionment about the lack of any genuinely exciting new music around at the moment.

I've mostly been listening to old stuff, as well as the sublime Sleeping Years single (which is also beautifully packaged and presented, so you need to buy the 7" single) and the Hope Sandoval album.

I don't think 2009 has been a vintage year and I can't remember the last time I really loved a new album by a new band. Am currently listening to lots of new stuff though, including the Broken Records EP and albums from the XX and Local Natives so will report back soon.

In other news, the guy from the Fiery Furnaces has made a REAL idiot of himself by slagging off Radiohead (a crime anyway) without being in possession of a) the facts and b) a clue. What a berk.

Also, there is apparently going to be a Pavement 'best of' next year. Hope we're still going to get the 'Terror Twilight' deluxe edition too.
