Choir in the Disco!How we've gone this far with the new forum and not had a music thread, I'll never know...
Anyway, bought a few CDs yesterday (first time I've actually gone to a shop and bought discs for at least a year) and wanted to pass on my opinion of my purchases.
Lupe Fiasco - The Cool: Absolutely f**king awesome album, not disimilar to Kanye West in style and structure, but almost every tune's a winner here and there's no Chris Martin collaboration which is worth an extra 10 points on it's own.
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm / A Weekend in the City: I'm infamously late in getting in to 'the next big thing', and I bought these two albums after talking to a fella at work last week, Both are very, very good (think I prefer Silent Alarm), but there's a rather good tune on the second album called Flux that you need to hear.
Jeff Buckley - Live A L'Olympia: Probably my favourite artist of all time, this is a decent album (sound quality isn't too good) but not as good as the Mystery White Boy 95-96 live album and pales in comparison to his first studio album, Grace. Definitely one for the enthusiast.

The best news I've heard for ages is that Fopp has reopened! Or it least it has here in Bristol. Bought The Last Shadows Puppets album there today, as they were truly fantastic on Jools Holland a couple of weeks back.
Also managed to pick up The Best of Madness for £4, and Kasabian's second album for £3.
Those prices are the reason why I love Fopp (and probably the reason they went out of business in the first place).
Agree 100% about your Bloc Party musings, Mezz. Silent Prayer is by far the better album, but Flux is one of the best tracks I've heard in a long time.

lately the only CD's iv actually been purchasing are some roots reggae classics like Right Time - The Mighty Diamonds, Satta Massagana - The Abyssinains and Heart of the Congo - The Congos
Oh yea, also fairly recently got Jack Johnson's new album but was far too busy listening to In Raimbows by Radiohead to take on JJ....
Speaking of Radiohead, long time fan here and Im finally getting to go to one of their concerts here in Tampa, FL on Monday!

There used to be a Fopp at Warwick University on the campus. I noticed lasat week it was re-opened but called Rise. It seemed identical to Fopp though - I ended up buying the best of New Order for £5.

Fopp in the spa of leamington is now called head, it's been open a while i think. I've been told that the guy that owned Fopp lived in leamington.

I'm totally obsessed with this album:
From start to finish, it's a masterpiece, a manifestation of divinity.

I never could get into Bodom. Or Melodeath as a whole for that matter, all about old school Florida for me.
I'm caught in two as minds as to whether to go to Exit Festival, set in an abandoned fortress in Serbia.

People who I'd be going with seem to think that we could train it there and back, hostels, tickets (£70 for 4 days), food, drink etc all for £450 while stopping places, but I don't see that happening. It's about 1600 miles too, I'd rather fly somewhere like Budapest and go from there. Plus we might have to get visa's for some of the Eastern, non-EU countries too. Still worth a thought, the Dance Arena's looking pretty good at the mo (minus any Breaks).
