I thought this was such a solid pop album and was surprised at how much I liked it.  I probably listened to it more than anything else since it came out (only five or six times but still).

I forgot about the Swervedriver LP. That belongs on my list too.

Did you go to their Ottobar show for it?

Sadly I missed them this time around. Really solid LP. I liked it more than I thought I would.

It was loud with lots of pedals.

They're coming in January…but oh wait… You tend to only see the local bands….

I need to see METZ live one of these days…

I'm not only into "local" bands.

And I know they are coming;
1. I might be Out of town
2. I avoid the Rock and roll hotel

9) Gaz Coombes – Matador

I'm liking this one as well, also be sure to checkout Vangoffey  "'Take Off Your Jacket & Get Into It'  Danny's first solo.  It reminds me of the late 70s UK new wave bands with Britpop cheek.

and the charlantans record has a bit of a Belle & Sebastian feel to it.

The Charlatans LP is the most richly balanced thing they've ever done. When you listen to it on a warm day when the sun is setting, everything just feels right with the world. Maybe not the best songs they've ever written, but when you listen to the entire thing from start to finish and the way it flows, it's probably the best-sounding LP they've ever done and it's easy to listen to all of it without skipping a song.

I do too, and I really want to see Metz. But I'm never going to rock and roll hotel ever again.
