My top 5 albums of the year so far:

The National - High Violet
Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Wolf Parade - Expo 84
Broken Social Scence - Forgiveness Rock Record

Can't get away from the Fenech-Soler album at the moment. Such a cracking album

Went to see Plan B last night. Quite a decent gig, especially liked the beatboxer that was a warm up act, very good.

My GFs dad likes Plan B and that totally puts me off him. I didn't like him in the first place but now he doesn't stand a chance.

Music for parents is Plan B.

I thought this, but I was convinced to go to it by a mate. I'm presume he's more "parent" music as for an encore he came out and sang Smokey Robinson songs and Otis Redding songs.

Yeah that doesn't surprise me. I can imagine Mc_Field waking up at 4am (or however early it is) going down to make breakfast, switching on the radio, a Plan B song playing and him enjoying it and doing a little boogey as he makes his beans on toast.

I'm going to listen to this "Plan B" today and I'll let you know if he sits well in the mindset of a cool daddy-o who grew up during the halcyon years of American soul and British rock.

That's all I'm after. Confirmation. Haha.

If you like music try typing thefiascoacoustic into a popular video site - keep an eye out for the washing blowing about in the background

you do realise you can say youtube?

...or post a link - if its the band's own video and not one owned by a mega-corporation maybe called Sony who own nearly all the music in the world.

I've just Youtube'd Plan B - yeah I know who they are, they were on Paul o'Grady's show last week, not that I watch Paul o'Grady at 9pm on a Friday night, oh no, thats not cool at all for someone of my standing in the community, oh no, someone less cool told me all about it.

They're ok, no more no less, the singer was up his own jacksy a bit on Paul o'Grady.

Thats what the less cool person said anyway

Spoken like a true hipster.

That Plan B lad was in ‘Harry Brown’ with Michael Caine – watched it last week. At not point did he start singing like a girl though.

OK - Here go's. Didn't want to seem too pushy. Let me know what you think...

Excellent, really good, I like that.

You could have taken the washing in first though.

Look up 'Status Quo Is it really me - (AMAZING !!) Live BC 9. 1970 ' on youtube.

They rocked like good 'uns!

WOW - Orange PA



I still think "Pictures of Matchstick Men" was one of the best psychedelic rock tooons ever - worth a Youtube search for that too if only to see how they changed yet again

Sugar Hill Gang - Apache

Is it a cover version of the crap Shadows hit of the same name ?

Allways liked the sugar hill gang.
