Records by Lightspeed Champion, Johnny Foreigner, Yeasayer, Beestung LIps and Land Of Talk have been my early year mainstays. And the Buffalo Tom comeback album 'Three Easy Pieces'.
Turning it around, what *should* I have been listening to?
The Futureheads, These New Puritans, Pete And The Pirates, Crookers, The Presets, Late Of The Pier, and Blood Red Shoes have been popular over here at music liberation headquarters.
The correct answer is, of course, The Mountain Goats. That's, The Mountain Goats. (And Broken Records, and Gossamer Albatross, and Cats On Fire, and Picture Books In Winter, and Dananananaykroyd, but you probably knew all that)
Not an awful lot of new stuff. School of Language album is very nice. As is the new Hot Chip (if you skip the rubbish "ballad" tracks - nowt wrong with ballads, but they just don't have the chops for it).
Old stuff - Swell maps "A Trip To Marineville", Chrome "Half Machine Lip Moves".

Thanks, all - we must do this again some time.

Early Talking Heads. Holy Fuck. Add N To (X), not unrelatedly. And, er, The Mountain Goats, albeit I'm about three albums behind.
