Your favourite Verve album? I've had Urban Hymns for ages, which is their most commercial album so I thought I'd get another of their albums.

Way better than Urban Hymns.

Is A Northern Soul worth getting?

A Storm In Heaven is very much my favorite Verve album. If you liked Urban Hymns you are in for a treat...that album has a more britpop feel to it but A Storm In Heaven has shoegaze written all over it (which I ****ing love). I like britpop just fine, but it was a tad disappointing for the Verve because the sound on this album was soo much better.

Btw...I have yet to give Forth a chance...anyone heard it? Yay or nay?

Edit: Northern Soul is also worth checking out, Stunt.

Avi Buffalo LP.

So far my favorite album of the year along with Ariel Pink's.

Downloaded a few things overnight:

The Smashing Pumpkins - Lull EP

Modest Mouse - No One's First, and You're Next EP
I'm hoping I enjoy this more than the last album, which I didn't enjoy at all. Maybe this being a smaller dose, it'll be better.

10-20 - Island EP

Public Image Ltd. - Metal Box

I posted about Lull in the EP's thread...it's a nice little Smashing Pumpkins fix, that one.

That's why I downloaded it.

I had never heard it aside from Rhinoceros, of course. I wasn't into EPs or singles back in the day.

The Peculiar Pretzelmen - Innumerable Seeds of Calamity (2010)

Oh god yes I've been waiting all year for this album to release! Such a good blend of New Orleans styled jazz with a nice cabaret feel and delivered by someone Tom Waits would be proud of.

The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang (2010)

Been a fan of this band since 2008 when The '59 Sound dropped and this is quite a decent follow up. Doesn't have quite as powerful a sound but it's the perfect summer driving album. Hasn't done enough for me to warrant running out to Best Buy to pick up a CD, but I'll throw it on my Zune and see if my feelings change after a few listens.

A very enjoyable pop-punk album off the Plan-It-X label, love the energy that flows through the entire album.
