Del Boy spotted on the bbc website just now:

Haha not at all, he knows he's a dick

Fab, cheers - I've added it to my wishlist for when payday comes along

Friends in Theory - Friends in Theory This list is in no order, but I put this one at the top as I think it's something am-mus posters might like. It's an indie-rock EP, sometimes twangy, lush, or techy-tinged (I stumbled it on a math rock channel, but, only slightly). It's female-fronted, I think a break-up album and sounds kind of like an adult Taylor Swift (although turns out it's Swedish). Elephant Gym - Work Another EP. Nice jams which alternate between indie rock and funky jazz. Mix of instrumentals and female vocals. Intervals - The Shape of Colour This was Dec 2015*, but since everyone is/was putting these together in December... Even if you can't stomach an album of INSTRUMENTAL SHRED, but like fist-pumping power metal/rawk, you should do yourself a favour and give these two tracks a bash: Plini (featured on the above track) - Handmade Cities Posted about this guy in the favourite musos thread, and this is his first full length. I prefer his EPs tbh, but that's a very high bar and this is still great. Animals as Leaders - The Madness of Many A bigger name instrumental band I've never managed to get into before but... This one is not as arresting as the Intervals and Plini records; it's more rambling and noodly (or wanky, if you prefer). On The other hand, still loads of nice sounds and it really builds steam in the latter half. Radwimps - Your Name. [and] Human Bloom [i.e. 2 albums[ The first of these is an OST for some anime, so it's a grab bag of piano OST stuff, jazz and their more signature indie rock. The latter is more their signature sound (although bear with the ill-advised opening English strains, which sound like non-vintage Feeder, or something, and the faux-rap number) Here's a highlight which is on both albums: Meshuggah - The Violent Sleep of Reason It's a Meshuggah album, which probably tells you all you need to now about how it sounds and whether you like it. Hiromi Uehara - Spark Posted about her in the best musos thread too, and this is her 2016 offering. Like planting your face in a massive jazz cake. If you are not entertained by jazz, the highlight of the album (for me) is a very pretty OST/classical piece: Cartoon Theory - Planet Geisha A deliberately wacky/genre-bending thing ("ambidjent") which maybe doesn't come off 100% of the time, but some very nice moments. (and Plini is on this too). * Speaking of 2015, I'm sure everyone will recall I only had a top 2. So I'd like to add For Giants- You are the Universe (also my top personal discovery of 2016) to my 2015 list. Which rounds it out to a top 3 (everyone will doubtless be relieved), and totally all guitar, all the time (which everyone will thus be stoked to go back and listen to...).

Cunt off you spam flavoured minge waffle.
