Feel good hits of the 12th May

1. 'Sheila' - The Antlers
2. 'Cassius' - Foals
3. 'Son The Father' - Fucked Up
4. 'Meet Me In The Basement' - Broken Social Scene
5. 'Silver Soul' - Beach House
6. 'Isolation' - Joy Division
7. 'Still Game' - Errors
8. 'Southern Point' - Grizzly Bear
9. 'Lions' - Jonquil
10. 'Comforting Sounds' - Mew

Notes:

1. Rueing not including Hospice in the SWSL Top 10 Albums Of 2009? Moi?

2. and 9. Both highlights from a homecoming carnival of a gig at the Zodiac tonight. Report to follow.

3. In case you were wondering, I never did take The Chemistry Of Common Life in the car.

4. (Very) early impressions of Forgiveness Rock Record: why is it that Broken Social Scene seem pathologically incapable of making a consistently high-quality album?! Still, at least it's pretty much guaranteed they'll make up for it in person at ATP on Friday night...

7. 'Still Game' is the song I should have pointed to when drawing the Mogwai comparisons in my recent Errors review.

Have you heard the new Foals? It's very, very good.

Wasn't that struck on the new stuff at the gig. Perhaps it needs time?
