The Music Recommendation Thread
I was looking at my music purchases from 2009 the other day, and made a chilling realisation - I am starting to get old.
I mean sure, it's not like I'm collecting golden oldies - I'm still buying current releases from current artists (e.g. Eskimo Joe's Inshalla). But most years I also pick up at least a few newish bands. In 2009, only one album I purchased was from a 'new' group - The Temper Trap's debut.
I think it's probably a combination of getting out of the uni pub scene and (probably the biggest factor) not really listening to JJJ that much any more. Whatever the reason, I'm hugely out of touch with what's out there and new. I'm not ready to stop discovering new music yet.
So - this is a thread for recommendations of new stuff people have come across. Doesn't have to be indie-pretentious crap, but if it's top 40 or was on last year's JJJ Hottest 100 CD then it probably isn't going to be news to anyone.
I'll kick it off - I've heard good things about Art vs Science's EP, so I'm keen to get a copy of their debut album when it's released this year. Anyone else recommend anybody new, who's suddenly got known in the last 12 months?
