Waiting around for an alBUM like you

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I am in my yearly "jesus i'd better catch up on some albums then" conscience fit. It is like the fable of the grasshopper and the ant, the ant works hard listening to albums all year and has a proper year end list that they've thought about and all, whereas the poptimist grasshopper swans about listening to McFly and has no resources when winter comes in.

But now grasshoppers have the interweb so in yr face ant.

I have albums by Enrique, Infernal, Radiohead, Siobhan Donaghy, Field, Fall Out Boy, Roisin Murphy and Studio to listen to. I NEED MOAR. What albums have you heard so far this year that you would urge me to listen to?

(I know I talked to some of you about this yesterday.)

Er, um? I'm listening to the new Underworld album right now, will report back asap.

My list from yesterday:

MIA - Kala
Infernal - Paris to Berlin
Ellen Allien - Fabric 34
Enrique - Insomniac
Sophie Ellis Bextor - Trip The Light Fantastic

This was before I'd heard Blackout, though.

Underworld is proving insufficiently boshing :(

The new Underworld record is their "we're getting too old for this lark" album. I like it, but yes, you're right, it's not very BOSHING at all. It's the comedown album, lots of lazy, mellow beats.
