Really enjoying the new XX album.

Same. Very good album

bit disappointing for me. I liked the bits where Albarn comes in, and that's about it

The new album from Throwing Snow is out and it's stunning. If you're into cinematic and experimental electronica/dance music give it a listen.

There's some good bits on the XX album but on the whole it's far weaker than the first and second. I respect them for pursuing a different sound rather than just doing the same thing again though.

RTJ3 is still my jam so far this year.

Trump's presidency is at least allowing us to reap the award of new music. Yesterday alone there was over a hundred new protest songs released.

On the subject of the Gorillaz, look forward to hearing the rest of the fifth album. Six years of wait was excruciating.

New Matthew E White is great.

Also, digging the new Ryan Adams and Michael Chapman.

Run the Jewels clip from a protest gig in Washington. Easily one of the most important acts going around not just musically but in terms of themes and just energy. Can't think of a single hip-hop/rap artist that brings that kind of energy to a live show.

Cass McCombs at the Deaf Institute last night did not disappoint.

4 piece band, and refreshingly, an artist who seems to actually know what his own best material is - I would have pretty much picked the same setlist. Big Wheel was incredible. A 10 minute County Line to finish, with an improvisation that touched on dub reggae without coming close to cringe. Amazing musicians. Had to dash for the train so if there was an encore I missed it

Gauntlet laid down, have to be pretty good to beat that show.

Saw him as well last Friday night and like you I enjoyed the show immensely. Just four really smooth musicians performing, particularly the bass player who almost stole the show.

Speaking of cringe and the only low point of the show, Cass was joined on stage at one point by two Irish traditional musicians. It didn't go well... To my ears anyway because I hate that shite. The tin whistle was beaten into me as a child.

He's been a busy boy has Matthew. That new collaboration LP he's done sounding good on first listen.

Had a pretty fun night yesterday watching old school swamp rock legends Six Ft Hick. They're old as fuck now but just as brutal as ever. And then on a completely different spectrum, ended up watching a brand new band called Confidence Man play a set at the venue next door. Some of the grooviest, funkiest shit I've heard in a long long time with a super neat live act. It's like BoneyM for 2017 and somehow it works like a motherfucker!

I'm a massive fan and I think it lacks any depth or originality. Considering the last 2 albums have either won a grammy or been produced by James Murphy the new album has a lot to live up to.

Gone off Arcade Fire, could jumble together anything with strings and word like Kids, Streets, and OK, Let's Go!

Their recent stuff sounds like going through the motions.

I liked the first albums of Arcade Fire, but still think the band is massivly overrated. Not in the Bon Iver scale of overrated, but still.

Sorry only just seen this - yeah Big Wheel is a massive tune, spent band practice on Wednesday annoying everyone by trying to nail the drumbeat...

Enjoying 50 by Michael Chapman. Apparently it's his 50th album. First one I've listened to and I'm impressed.

I thought I read somewhere it was his 40th, the album title makes much more sense to me now... Either way, that's one impressive body of work.

Yeah, it's really good. I'd only heard one of his before 50, Fully Qualified Survivor, which is similarly excellent. He's certainly got a way with a tune.

Been a few good albums released/leaked this month: 50, RTJ3 (sort of), Loyle Carner, Ty Segall's new one's a lot of fun as is the Japandroids' album, if not up to Celebration Rock levels.

Father John Misty has a new song and video out. It's eerily reminiscent of Holy Shit from Honeybear, but it's brilliant. Love the word play, the cynicism of it all. It's one of the funnier songs I've heard in a bit.
