Jamie T and Lily Allen
Posted on 06.29.06 by tim @ 10:23 pm

Well I’m back from my various travels (Which involved Greece, Cornwall, and back for a school reunion cricket match), and the remarkably long time I’ve spent on the train meant that I could spend a good bit of time listening to my most recent additions to my music library on my ipod or should that be ipizzle ;)

Anyway top of my summer playlist has been Jamie T and the know almost well renowned Lily Allen.

Jamie T is hard to find a genre for as he goes from anything from acoustic almost indie music to reggae. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t get my act together to see him as he came up to Scotland recently and played at Nice ‘n’ Sleazy in Glasgow, but I’ll have to catch him another time.

Lily Allen is another UK artist that has been likened to The Streets aka Mike Skinner by the music press, and although writes lyrics with a similar gritty realism the songs are written with a good bit of wit and sarcasm, and seem, at leats to me, to be happier.

TV ON THE RADIO
Posted on 06.27.06 by rhino @ 11:11 pm

If you haven’t heard TV On The Radio then you should seriously download some of their stuff, they have a new album coming out on july 5th or something called Return To Cookie Mountain, which I am listening to as I write this on nme.com, and it sounds f***ing ace. They are undisputably sonic masters, their sound is pretty expansive and epic but also very soulful at times, especially on the first album Desperate Youth and Bloodthirsty Babes. Anyone who hasn’t heard of them should check out this out because it is just beautiful, one of the most inspiring records I own. go forth and appreciate!

Autolux

I can’t get this Autolux track out of my head, its slow coolness always crops up when I’m daydreaming… didn’t like it at first mind so give it a chance and all that. I can’t don’t think it reminds me of anything, though I’ve read reviews that have mentioned Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, which kind of make sense. I am yet to decide about the rest of the album (Future Perfect), but I have only given it one listen so I’ll withhold judgement!
