Can't Get You Out Of My Head

Here are some of the albums that have grabbed me over the last year or so....

..and the great music from 2009

Dirty Projectors, Bitte Orca - not sure how to describe it, melodic but leftfield

Animal Collective, Merriweather Post Pavillion - arty I suppose, just full of ideas

Wilco, Sky Blue Sky - the first four tracks in particular are just stunning.

LCD Soundsystem, Sound of Silver - I can play this over and over.

Califone, Roots and Crowns - It never ceases to amaze me how much good music I miss. Thanks to Radio3 for playing this one.

Beirut, Flying Club Cup - Strange folky brassy tunefulness.

Sufjan Stevens, Illinoise - you've just got to hear it. Drives the other guys in the shop mad.

Arcade Fire, Funeral and Neon Bible - Don't you think the Canadians are making great music right now.

and a few blasts from the past

T.Rex, Electric Warrior - Robin Trower, In City Dreams and Bridge of Sighs - Deep Purple, Fireball - John Kongos, Kongos (remember He's gonna step on you and Tokoloshe Man?) - Kevin Coyne, Dynamite Daze

Try out my nephew's tunes on myspace. I think they have a bit of Yes flavour in there.
