I’m absolutely loving Before Today by Ariel Pink at the moment. Crazy retro sounding indie folk type stuff with good catchy bits and plenty of oddness interspersed. There are a load of older LPs that veer towards the odder end of things but definitely worth listening to. Check it out, top stuff.

Wicked indie biz from Sunderland’s The Futureheads. I think they just had a new album out which I need to get round to checking out but this is taken from their first album. They’re probably best known for their cover of Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love which is a shame as they’ve written some great music of their own. I was gonna put up Carnival Kids but couldn’t find a version on YouTube that wasn’t a live recording. I’d definitely recommend grabbing the first album if you’re into this…

I haven’t posted much rock or indie for a while so will make up for that with a few more guitar based posts. Sparta were formed by a few members of the now defunct At The Drive-In, who released the awesome Relationship of Command album in 2000 (others from the band went on to become The Mars Volta). Sparta released Porcelain in 2004 which contained a load of wicked songs, this just one of them but it’s well worth giving the whole album a listen as it’s top stuff.

In a mood for guitar music this morning. I love The Psychedelic Furs, they had some big tunes back in the 80s. They provided the wicked theme tune to John Hughes’s Pretty In Pink but it’s their other tunes that I’m more into. Check this one for a slice of new wave goodness

I just picked up Dinosaur Jr’s awesome Where You Been album on vinyl on eBay the other day. I’ve not really listened to it in a good 10 or 15 years and was a little surprised that it still sounds great. I was gonna post up the first track, Out There, but decided on this one instead…
