Right. This was the week I was in Belgium and France on the History Trip so less music but yeah still not a bad list this week.
1 Untitled 7 6 - The first song I have heard from ( ), and darker than anything on Agaetis Byrjun, but still amazing.
2 Anthems for a
Seventeen Year-Old Girl 4 - This is a very odd song, not what I was expecting at all...strangely mesmerising, very different to the other song of theirs I have...i like the strangely sung words though, "Park that car/Drop that phone/Sleep on the floor/Dream about me.."
2 Dust in the Sunlight 4 - Still the only proper song I've heard by them but it blew my away. I looked up their album on amazon expecting it to be on it, but turns out it's a B-side to the Bullets single. Another greatest B side contender then. Unless the A side is better.
2 Comforting Sounds 4 - Builds to a beautiful crescendo, wow.
5 Beard 3 - Hehe. I found this song recently, and it was a short song I made using samples in some demo program AGES ago. No idea why I called it beard, it must be my immaturity at the time. Even though I say it myself it is incredibly funky and flows together really well, nice bass and drums and guitar.
5 Short Skirt Long Jacket 3 - The lyrics and the way they are sung are very amusing. Coupled with a nice funky riff and you've got yourself a place in the weekly charts. "I want a girl with a short skirt and a loooong jacket.." Its also great when the shouty echoing manly sounding chorus comes in. "GETS UP EARLY!" "STAYS UP LATE!" Good times.
5 This Is Yesterday 3 - One of the less intense songs on The Holy Bible and it's a melancholy, lovely song.
5 Rocks 3 - CHOON!!! "Get your rocks off, get your rocks off honey.."
5 Magic Hours 3 - I was sitting, I think, in a hotel room in France, no wait, lying down, when I realised just how brilliant this song is. What impresses me also is that they make all this beautiful noise just using the standard instruments of guitars, bass and drums, unlike most other post rock bands. My favourite point is probably the massive, i mean massive drum fill at about 7:00 exactly. Ka-wow.
5 Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) 3 - It's impossible to choose the best track from Funeral, they're all good. But this may just take about the damn biscuit.
5 Unfinished Sympathy 3 - I'm beginning to like Dissolved Girl but the singing on this is perfect.
5 Section 9 3 - Still ridiculously happy and uplifting. Bless that sun-loving cult known as The Polyphonic Spree.
5 Emily 3 - Always will be my favourite Feeder song.
Well that's it for now. Charts wouldn't display until Thursday this week, hopefiully won't happen again next time. Anyway hats off to the audioscrobbler/last fm guys, they do an amazing job with thius excellent site.
