You don't need no money when you look like that, do you, honey?

O! I remembered that song that I thought sounded like U2. It was Supergrass (I remembered that the first time, and only said it was the Super Furry Animals on Tuesday because arwel was wearing a SFA T-shirt), and the song is Kiss of Life. Very different from their earlier stuff.

In other news: I'm not fantastically impressed by Keane, I think their stuff is a bit samey and possibly generic. It's nice enough, and I generally have a lot of time for piano, but I don't think I'd want to listen to a whole album. I certainly wouldn't say they're the greatest thing since sliced bread (maybe since Coldplay).

I fully expect to receive scorn from certain quarters for this, but I don't care because I'm INDIE.

The song I'd heard and thought was Keane - mostly because it was new and exciting, and everybody was saying Keane was new and exciting - was in fact Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet. Which I like. Though, after looking around their site, I suspect I may like the single rather than the band in general. Which is usual.

I've got The Streets album as well. It's one of those things that I thought I'd hate but after hearing a few tracks, quickly changed my opinion on the whole thing and now do hearty recommmendations.

I know what you mean about Keane, but they're promising more than anything else. If they manage to hold it together without disappearing up their own backsides, they have the potential to get better. Other than that, I'm into Snow Patrol at the moment, who are quite groovy.

Pay-day today - any albums to recommend for my hard earned cash?

The new Ash album - Meltdown
Auf der Maur - Auf der Maur. Good if you liked alternative at any point in the mid 90's.
Mars Volta - Deloused in the comatorium. Epic. Good.
