    Some really fresh stuff mentioned on here! I'm going to have to try out some of the other suggestions...

    Foals - My Number
    C90's - Shine a Light (only song I can find by them - very very cool. On GTA if anyone's interested)
    Arcade Fire - Reflektor
    Jagwar Ma - Man I need
    Holy Ghost - Dumb Disco Ideas
    Daft Punk - Get Lucky (everyone's probably sick of it by now but great song!)

    Albums:
    Arctic Monkeys - A few quality tunes on 'AM': Fireside and one for the road stuck out to me
    Haim - Days are gone
    Tribes - Wish to Scream

    New Franz Ferdinand and Darkness albums are great too

    Mark Kozelek had two albums out this year, not his best but still the only modern albums I listened to so it will have to be them.

    Gloria stitts, the kozlek albums are very good especially the desertshore one. If you like them you should like the bill callahan album.

    Biggest disappointment for me was probably MGMT. One of my favourite bands but I thought this year's was weak and inconsequential. I much preferred the annoyingly named Foxygen's which kinda out MGMT'd them. No Destruction, San Francisco, some great songs on there

    Could everyone stop being mean about Arcade Fire please. Neon Bible probably isn't quite as strong as The Suburbs, but still a brilliant album.

    I do get the over-produced criticism, and it is a challenging album, but there's a huge amount of hidden depth and I think the production has allowed them to do something different. It's their Radiohead moment, and not everyone will like it.

    And Oh Orpheus is an absolutely incredible song.

    Also would second Dream River- a really understated, slow-burning, soulful album. If you like Smog or Bill, or Lambchopy type "alt-country". Playing in Leeds Feb.

    It grows on you, definitely, and there are some good songs on it. But I think they thought too much about sounding cool and production values. A lot of the songs don't really go anywhere or are a bit boring melodically for my tastes compared to the fury and energy of Funeral which is one of the best debuts ever

    It could and should have been leaner, and you have to wait a bit for the gems where as previous albums haven't had weaker moments. Reckon it would be impossible for anyone to better Funeral though.

    Got tickets to see them at Earls Court in June. Amazing live

    Would love Mr Butler to explain why he thought his weakest songs so far, merited a double album. I hope he's bringing proper musicians with him for the live dates.

    On a brighter note, British Sea Power's, Machineries of Joy, was...well, a joy.

    Double album really doesn't help. It disjoints it too. It's fine on Spotify but in the car on CD you just end up listening to it as two different albums. Plus my wife prefers the first side and I prefer the second side. We Exist is brilliant though.

    Take your word for it, Ark, but I was so disappointed/frustrated by it, I gave it to St Luke's charity shop.

    BSP are playing Leadmill in April...a Saturday night, £14 a pop (well £15 with the robbery of "booking charges") Always a good gig...get ya sen dahn...
