Point of order, the Chillis have slipped into the former category of
"pap" now, let's be honest.

I know musical taste is subjective but anyone who doesn't agree is a
twat.

 

I don't need to buy something to listen to it - Radio, TV and the likes
of iTunes provide ample opportunity to sample before purchase, not to
mention various ways of getting a hooky copy to sample.

As mentioned elsewhere, I see a real problem of derivative content at
the moment - it's really hard to find something that doesn't sound like
a carbon copy of something else. The AOR revival (The Feeling are a
prime example - absolute tripe) is woeful, even those darlings the
Scissor Sisters seem to be aiming for a disco version of Supertramp.

The question I'd ask about your list is "what's different to like?" When
you've heard one Snow Patrol song, you've heard them all. The Chillis
aren't exactly exploring new sonic territory. Every one of your lists
seems to have a Norman Jay compilation on it.
All firmly rooted in the Rock And Pop aisle of Our Price, different it
ain't.

Wow, I haven't bought any CDs since July.

Most recent(ish) purchases were:

Biosphere: "Dropsonde"
Boards of Canada: "Trans Canada Highway" (EP)
Boards of Canada: "The Campfire Headphase"
Bola: "Gnayse"
Chris Coco: "Heavy Mellow"
LCD Soundsystem: "LCD Soundsystem"
Murcof: "Rembrenzana"
Robert Rich & B.Lustmord: "Stalker"
Thievery Corporation: "The Cosmic Game"
Thievery Corporation: "Versions"
Tim "Love" Lee: "Confessions of a Selector"


Anything there familiar to you? I think you might like LCD
Soundsystem.

 

My favourite bit is where it goes "Eee--ah-ah-oo-ook...ook...!
*clang*..*clang*..."

 

Also Kiedis's inability to evolve past the same vocal progressions and
devices he has used over and over is immensely tedious. Maybe they need
someone else to die.

 

that's a doozy, alright.

 

One of the big bands over here atm is Wolfmother, to me they sound like
a distilled version of the 70s rock bands, and I mean distilled as in
tasteless and devoid of character. But you trying telling the kids of
today...

 

Not just Wolfmother. There's The Datsuns, Jet, etc. Australia seems to
be something of a powerhouse of 70s pastiche.

 

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Unlike the Germans who seem to have progressed to the 80's..

I do have that CD - ISTR it was rather good too. I also have a couple
of Boards of Canada CDs but not the ones you list. I've heard of
Biosphere, Thievery Corporation and Tim "Love" Lee.

 

Right now?
