The Weekly Sweep

  • Absentee - Boy, Did She Teach You Nothing [YouTube]
  • Dananananaykroyd - Pink Sabbath [YouTube] (We see. You'd have thought they'd have stretched out the whole film thing a bit now they've got Bill Murray on board. We think if you listen carefully to the bit where they keep in the talking you can hear him pass official comment on the name.)
  • Elbow - The Bones Of You [YouTube]
  • Eugene McGuinness - Moscow State Circus [YouTube]
  • Future Of The Left - The Hope That House Built [mp3]
  • Gossamer Albatross - The Ground Will Take Us Down [Myspace]
  • Guillemots - Kriss Kross [YouTube]
  • Hello Saferide - Anna [YouTube]
  • Jeremy Warmsley - Dancing With The Enemy [Vimeo] ("I wanted be the world's first philosophical detective. I was going to put an advert in Loot saying "Problem Solved" and leave my number." Just liked that line from an interview - yeah, we allow him to provide content for other people too - we came across in the week.)
  • Laura Marling - Night Terror [YouTube]
  • Los Campesinos! - Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown #1 [Myspace] (Soooo.... it's where you wanted LC! to go once Hold On Now Youngster... finished, taking the same scrappy gang show of the self-lacerating horizontally in sociological as well as musical terms so it's mostly for those who are already converted but not so much as you can't imagine people finally falling one side of the debate or the other on overhearing something from it)
  • M.I.A. - Paper Planes [YouTube]
  • Noah & The Whale - Shape Of My Heart [YouTube]
  • Okkervil River - Singer Songwriter [Myspace] {Another one streaming their whole new album)
  • Popular Workshop - Reptilians [YouTube]
  • Sky Larkin - Fossil, I [YouTube]
  • Those Dancing Days - Home Sweet Home [YouTube]
  • TV On The Radio - Dancing Choose [YouTube] (Soooo.... it was inevitable that they were going to do a modern soul/funk record before we all got too old, with fewer showy electronics and barbershop harmonies and more Prince slipperiness and more than a little Marvin Gaye at times. Beyond this and Golden Age we're not sure it's an album that's served well by individual cuts either, which is why it's lucky the whole thing's still streaming over yonder. 91/100 on Metacritic!)
  • The Walkmen - In The New Year [Myspace]
  • Wild Beasts - Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants [YouTube]

    (Weekender will appear here on Monday. It's just the way things are.)
