Edgar Graham Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I really liked the album by The Whitest Boy Alive.It's Erlend Oye from Kings of Convenience in a new band.It came out late last year, but I think it's well worth checking schmoot.Steven Dedalus: So cutting edge that his tip for 2008 is a band that have technically been on the go since 2003.That came out in 2006, unless you're forgetting it's a new year. Really good album though, do they have plans to release another?Have you got Erlend Oye's DJ Kicks? It's really good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steven Dedalus Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Like I say, "Cutting Edge" is not my middle name.I think it only came out over here last November or something, cos it was only available in Germany. To be fair, in Northern Ireland, we're so far behind that the 1960s are still modern.I liked his dj kicks album, mainly because he sings over the top of nearly everything!I was also very fond of his solo album, but I've never met anyone else who liked it.

french_disko Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 The Rolling Stones?Pah! Derivative nonsense that's destined to appear in the "where aer they now? file" along with The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Public Enemy and the like.

Panda Strong Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Threads like this are hilarious. Have all these bands just formed? Where were they 3 weeks ago in 07? What factors will make them a better band in 08? Because being championed by NME or milking Myspace for everything it's got really aren't.Anyway. That list reads like a terrible DiS article of something. I wouldn't be surprised if more than half of them fizzle out by this time next year because they're no longer wearing the right style of clothes.

And I don't see why people constantly find the need to discredit bands for their appearance. Style and music are inextricable, whether it be Will Oldham's beard or some skinny-jeaned NME championed band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 aye music is shitethere are too many miserablist bands playing namby pamby shite and wearing their sisters clothes and make up.

Guest bluesxman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 My favourite Nick Cave sartorial event was the skinny fit pink Take That T shirt in the Stagger Lee video, genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because being championed by NME or milking Myspace for everything it's got really aren't.Believe it or not not every band produces their best material immediately after forming. Is it impossible to believe that a musician might show promise before releasing something mind blowing, therefore allowing one to say... tip them for greatness in the coming year?And I'm sure you don't dress in the dark yourself bucko.

And I don't see why people constantly find the need to discredit bands for their appearance. Style and music are inextricable, whether it be Will Oldham's beard or some skinny-jeaned NME championed band.I didn't say they were being championed for their dress sense. I'm not discrediting bands for their appearance, either. My whole dress sense arguement was a bit tongue in cheek, but it's definitely something that outlets like NME play on/milk.And, jeez, you're not being serious about that style point are you? Anyone who cares about what clothes the bands they listen to wear needs a smack up the arse.Believe it or not not every band produces their best material immediately after forming. Is it impossible to believe that a musician might show promise before releasing something mind blowing, therefore allowing one to say... tip them for greatness in the coming year?And I'm sure you don't dress in the dark yourself bucko.Fine, whatever. I'd prefer to find out about new music on my own terms, rather than flick to page 4 of my "THESE BANDS MIGHT BE QUITE GOOD THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF NO REASON IN PARTICULAR" handbook.And i'm completely lost by your last comment.

Marc Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've yet to see them live so I'll reserve judgement but the singles and songs on myspace ARE good.maybe theyve came along way, havent seen them in probably over a year now.

french_disko Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Slighty off topic, but I was listening to the best of Nick Cave last night and enjoying it, so what would the best album be to purchase first?The obvious starting place would be "The Best Of..." - that covers all the albums up to 1998 at least. then you purchase all the others in reverse order from latest to oldest. new album out in March as well!

Guest Steven Dedalus Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Slighty off topic, but I was listening to the best of Nick Cave last night and enjoying it, so what would the best album be to purchase first?Right, here's the scoop:You can divide Nick Cave into three periods:1. Old testament (Heroin years) - songs about retribution and death. Violent imagery, ugly music. My favouirte period. Best album: "The Firstborn is Dead" or "Tender Prey".2. New Testament (not heroin years) - he cleaned up, started writing 'actual songs' rather than just rants and violence, and established himself as the best songwriter on the block. Best album: "Let Love in" or "the Boatman's call".3. Post-script (academic years) - he became very literary, Blixa Bargeld left, and a lot of the danger and excitment left with him. Not my favourite period, to be honest. It all sounds very good, of course, but I don't find it engaging on an emotional level. Best album: "No more Shall we part" or "The Lyre of Orpheus."In my humble opinion, of course.Also check out the Birthday Party, as they totally rule.

I also have her first EP in a sleeve she hand-sewed with a little owl drawing which would be worth a fortune if she got big, but I'd hate myself if I sold it.Other tipsSlow ClubThe Ting Tings Ipso Facto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Slighty off topic, but I was listening to the best of Nick Cave last night and enjoying it, so what would the best album be to purchase first?My favourite is the double album Abbatoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus which is just deliciously miserable. Abbatoir Blues is the best of the two CDs IMO.Murder Ballads is pretty brilliant too, but it does start to drag a bit in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
