Are Biffy really doing a best of?

[greendemon]

yeah, that struck me as a bit odd too if they are, no doubt it's an attempt to build on the (relative!) commercial success of 'puzzle'... can't say i blame them, really. i have all their CDs but will probably buy it anyway as they are flippin' marvellous and deserve support.

looking forward to new elbow material, as you can imagine also the young knives, sigur rós and possibly the little ones, who had two fantastic singles out this year...

[wonderwall]

the new oasis album and the guns and roses album if it gets released

[fu2reh3d]

The 'Heids, Franz, Doves & Elbow. Already heard Nada Surf and British Sea Power ...looking forward to getting them propper too.

Oh, Iwasacubscout. also

[-Big Dan-]

The album from a certain flame-haired Scotswoman stands out for me. ;d

[Robin]

Oooh an Eels best of. I'll probably buy that!

[blueboy]

Half Man Half Biscuit - "early 2008", can't wait!

[frag]

Sons and Daughters
Blood Red Shoes
Elbow
Guillemots

[Senior]

Guns and Roses, yeah right, China will be a democracy by the time that's released

Looking forward to the Courteeners album, The Rascals, The Music and the probable Arctic Monkeys EP

all of the above i'll check out. Some i'm more excited than others of course...

please note the album title for Hot Chip is Made in the Dark... it's already released as promo and i have it... it's pretty good, but a lot of slow(er) songs so a bit of change for them... the first single is quite good 'ready for the floor', but VERY light dance pop... it should get a mention on the general music page when it comes out and 'shake a fist' is really neat tune (you can get them both on hypem.com of course). I'll be seeing them at ATP too

I'm most curious about the James and Jesus and Mary chain releases. JAMC is my fav band and James were my fav band in my teens... i have no idea what their new stuff will be like... I have tix for JAMC too so looking forward to that (saw them twice last year as well...)

[musicfan2000]

all i know about jamc is that my friend in uni god father was the basist who left the group

[IndiElectronica]

not sure how to intruduce JAMC to someone... i guess i'd suggest getting their 'singles' album - it's cheap too... certainly worth reading about to appreciate them too:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jesus_and_Mary_Chain

wm02.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wifpxqe5ldse~T1

one of the pillars of indie music for sure...

^psychocandy...even these days it still sounds mindblowing!essential.

Welsh band by the name of Riding Hood. A local welsh band currently doing a couple of gigs and radio shows. You can find them on www.myspace.com/ridinghoodmusic. Being a big supporter you can download their album (Riding High) on 7digital.com. Their debut single off the album is called Ransom (no release date as I can find).

I have been a fan since I had the pleasure of meeting and hearing them live when they recorded a session at BRFM my local community station. Great stuff.

The Sons & Daughters album has allready leaked, it's fantastic.

[wonderwall]

If anything released thsi year is better than the radiohead album i will be amazed

[IndiElectronica]

radiohead was 2007 - at least that where i'm putting in my charts.. am i wrong?

[Sauron]

The album I'm really looking forward to this year is the guillemots. throught the windowpane is a great album, I just hope the new album is just as good

[-Big Dan-]

Never really listened to the Guillemots album. I'm put off by a couple of the tracks, they kind of bore me.
