Brian , I saw Cigarrettes After Sex in London last year. Your comments are valid. As great as the album is 'samey' is being polite. Standing still for over an hour with hardly any beat to even tap your toes to was agonising. He has a superb voice but they need to mix it up a bit with slow/fast numbers instead of 10bpm for literally every song.

Yes, two tracks with a bit of tempo and/or variety and that would have been a class album.

Quite enjoying The Falls new facts emerge, his best work in a long time, possibly his last. Mark E Smith is very unwell and cancelled two gigs this week, and when he does perform live now, he does so from a wheel chair.

I'm enjoying the new one by Quicksand. Interiors it is called.
Can't think what else has been released this year. I've been listening to loads though.
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

Always a fruitful thread. I'll throw in these two. Alvvays are playing the Roundhouse in March which should be great, and I saw PSB in Hammersmith last month - probably the highlight of the whole thing was the size and enthusiasm of the crowd compared to when I'd seen them in New York.

Peter Perrett. Great comeback album - unexpectedly and delightfully alive and kicking.
Had this come out as the fourth Only Ones album in the early 80s it would've got a resounding thumbs up - and as the OO's sound is pretty timeless, and it's all about PP's songwriting craft, that's no bad thing

Two nice tracks, Bklyn. Will check out the albums.

I can't say that I've been inspired to seek out too much new stuff this year. I did see Moonlandingz at Glastonbury and they were interesting, as is their album.

I'm with you Brian. The War On Drugs can do little wrong.
Also got Everything Everything's A Fever Dream
And, to show my tastes are not on a par with most of my peer group Kendrick Lamar's DAMN.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)

Mr Perret's been getting a bit of airplay on Radio 6 lately especially on Marc Riley's show. Pretty good it is too.
There aint half been some clever bastards.
