Guns 'N' Roses - Greatest Hits

Reading the Slash book at the moment.. Amazing how they got to where they did considering the destruction the caused along the way...not the kind of neighbours you want living next door.

Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated R

Sorry, its so long ago I cant remember the password so have this one instead.

The Beatles - Abbey Road

The most famous Scousers??

Echo And The Bunny Men - Songs To Learn And Sing

Heading to Liverpool this weekend.. kinda got me thinking about bands that come from there...

Amadou And Mariam - Welcome To Mali

So as it happens the other album I missed out on came in at "number two" described as being influenced by Mariam's " childhood love of French pop and her husbands fondness of Jimmy Page". There are also some big names on it such as Damon Albarn producing the opener "Sabali".

Thanks SSFDL

Bon Iver - For Emma , Forever Ago

I gotta look at the Observer Music Monthly top 50 albums of 2008 and I must admit I had only listened to 7.5 of the top ten ( sorry Kanye, maybe you can have this post removed too! ) and the "number one" album of 2008 had passed me by after just a one listen back in the summer. Then as I read through the rest I saw Madrugada had not even made the top 50! Sorry Bon.

RadioHead - Gagging Order (Accoustic)

Should have this lot perfected by lunch time tomorrow...hmmm

See comments for track list

RadioHead - Anyone Can Play Guitar

So now I'm settling into my new house I have great plans, one of which is to get back learning the Guitar. So starting off nice and easy with some RadioHead, by next week I will have mastered "Sultans Of Swing" :)

The Rapture - Pieces Of The People We Love

Ill have a milk shake shimmy please...

New Order - Best Of

According to Amazon this album has being discontinued by "the manufacturer".. Grab it while you still can so.

Devotchaka - How It Ends

So this is how it ends...

Thanks to SSFDL

Arcade Fire - The White Sessions

Looks like these guys are taking a break in 2009, Now they have finished singing Barack all the way to the Whitehouse...

The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia

Supposed to be Playing in The Academy in Dublin on Jan 16th. I might try and get a ticket this time round, not that this is in anyway another hint for a Christmas present...

Madrugada - Honey Bee

Relax and give this a play... What a voice.

Madrugada - Madrugada

In case you missed it first time round!
I would love to see this band live but sadly after the tragic death of their guitarist Robert Buras they decided to finish recording this album and embark on a farewell tour. An album I started listening to last Jan and its still one of the first I line up.

RadioHead - In Rainbows CD 2

Did it come with CD2?

Glasvegas - Geraldine

Great song from a great album..

RadioHead - In Rainbows

Out of curiosity, did anyone pay for In Rainbows this year?

Glasvegas - Glasvegas

Ive been catching up on the albums I missed out on this year but thankfully this was not one of them. An absolute cracker! I'm a bit sick that they play Dublin ( Dec 14th ) and I wont be around. Maybe another night will be added, a ticket would make a great Christmas present ;)

The National - Black Sessions

Looking forward to these lads returning to Dublin some day soon..
