I love these threads....
Fleet Foxes - (self-titled); Probably my favourite album of 2008, the harmonic vocals from this group are fantastic, and the songs are very catchy and melodic. Reminds me so much of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges; Really cool album, I didn't know whether I liked it or not when I first listened to it, but I've decided I love it. Some incredibly good tracks across the entire album.
The Joe Strummer documentary is out on DVD now "The Future is Unwrutten". If you were a fan of the Clash or Joe or both, it is excellent, and well worth the time spent watching it. Interesting dude he was. I watched it last night - hence my "sig du jour".
A couple of Strummer's CDs with the Mescaleros are well worth checking out.
Know what I;ve been listening to on repeat lately...
the Police and Thieves cover by the Clash
Great tune. I've been diggin' Armagideon Time. Great reggae beat.
Yer [dang] good song, it was on the TV this morning funnily enough.
Speaking of Rock Biopics, Control by Anton Corbijn is a fantastic film, based on Ian Curtis and Joy Division. I highly reccomend it even if you weren't a fan of the band.
