New MGMT is very Bowie-esque. [view article]

The link is available by clicking on my name for this comment. Not overly happy with the sub-editing, just to cover my own back... :P [view article]

Yo Jake, where your review at, i'm curious! I think for me what made it stretch to 9/10 was teh fact it's really accessible and just occupies it's own little niche so well right now, I really can't think of a band with another recent release that I could compare them adequately to. Anyway, glad you liked it! [view article]

I love how everyone always forgets that this isn't the full lineup by a long shot and a good chunk of the best bands aren't usually announced straight away. [view article]

All three are worth a listen to be fair. I wouldn't have stretched quite as far as 9/10 (in fact, I didn't when I reviewed it elsewhere), but it is very good. Dusty Fruit is probably my favourite track (the early version of it, "Don't Trust the Dusty Fruit", is also very good!). [view article]
