Spandex's albums of the year...
Out Hud - Let us Never speak of this again: The bassist out of LCD Soundsystem and !!! joins another band, makes another good album.
Ladytron - Witching Hour: loads darker than the other 2 albums, with added guitars. Quality.

I haven;t bought a new album at all this year - I'm usually a couple of years behind trying to catch up. CDs are cheaper that way anyway.
The best album of the year hasn;t been released yet - and I'll be getting the new Kate Bush CD next month.
Other than that - I'm on the verge of getting the Go! Team album - I like what I've heard.

He's become a loony, evil scientologist in the meantime is why most probably.
Here we go
how'd we get here so fast
Got the clor album on just now. Took me ages to download that! Also got sigur ros which I think I prefer to there last effort. Been unable to locate a few of them.
Yes, I can't help feeling Heidi was put in as the token good-looking white girl, although personally I'd take Keisha or Mutya first. However it is the music I like primarily and the 'Babes have been performing highly for a long time for a girl pop band. "In The Middle" is my favourite of their's, off "Three". Have you heard any of Siobhan's solo stuff? What I've heard sounds pretty good.

I saw them live on Saturday! They were fab!
BPitch control is a quality label. I'll have to check that Modeselektor album- anyone who has ttc guest on their album cannot be wrong!Skim said:I like the Ellen Allien album too, although I prefered 'Berlinette' a couple of years ago.

I'd heard good things about Berlinette, but I haven't ever heard it. Another one for the wishlist.

WACK 2: A FETE WORSE THAN DEATH
The second installment of the carnival of comedic cockfoolery
Starring
WEVIE STONDER ?LIVE
SIMON MUNNERY ?LIVE STAND-UP
ADVERSE CAMBER? INTERACTIVE SAUSAGE SLALOM
RECONSTITUTED MEAT MADNESS
THE WACK DJS
HOSTED BY THE RT HON RIMMINGTON SNUFFPORN
AND A CAST OF LITERALLY TENS
FRIDAY 4TH NOVEMBER 2005
@ THE SPITZ, COMMERCIAL STREET, LONDON EC2
8PM - LATE
Wack is back, fusing the oily strands of comedy and electronic music together to form a tenuous thread of rope with which to hang the finest proponents of the new genre that's taking the capital by storm: clowncore. As London's first and only cacktronica event, Wack first oozed under the door of popular culture in 2003, when headline act WEVIE STONDER went head to head with nearly-living legend KEN CAMPBELL, and Mancunian beat-fripperer MATT WAND aka STOCK, HAUSEN AND WALKMAN rubbed shoulders with THE INTERACTIVE CHEESE SLALOM, a special installation for noses and feet.
Increase Size Decrease Size Smilies* Post IconsYou may choose an icon for your message from the following list:This year, back by unpopular demand, it's time to do the jokey-cokey with Hove's fishiest fingers WEVIE STONDER, making their first London appearance after the release of codforsaken third album The Wooden Horse of Troy, with a new line-up, old gags and a fine line in Dadaist droll'n'bass. They?e the musical equivalent of drinking your own brain through a curly-wurly straw and then vomiting with mirth.
In support, SIMON MUNNERY of THE LEAGUE AGAINST TEDIUM will be cracking his oeuvre over the heads of the bewildered and sausaged-up audience. A rare legend among the comedy circuit, Munnery's cult BBC2 TV show Attention Scum had them chortling in the aisles of many a Home Counties living room. A veteran of Radio 1 and runner up for the Perrier Award, Munnery will be castigating, cogitating and peregrinating his way through a routine specially regurgitated for the Wack faithful.
Bringing up the rear are the WACK DJ ASSAULT SQUAD: CORPORAL BLACKLEG, PRIVATE WEASEL, RAF RUNDELL (ACCIDENTAL RECORDS) and COLONEL RATAGEDDON, plus a small cache of friends, family and other animals, all playing their most absurd clowncore, joketronica and twattish techno.
Sideshows for the evening include: Bat The Twat, the Reconstituted Meat Tombola, Pin the Lizard on the Monkey, Guess the Weight of the Enormous Scotch Egg, and other as yet entirely imaginary village fete attractions. Not forgetting ADVERSE CAMBER'S RECONSTITUTED MEAT ARENA: a mesmerizing miasma of meat, manipulation and mettle?plus a panoply of goons, muppets, midgets, morons and myrmidons dispensing dubiously firm Scotch Eggs and other unsavoury meat-based treats for your delectation.
All of course hosted by RT HON RIMMINGTON SNUFFPORN, the retired Eton fop who is gayer than a ponce? poodle, greasier than an otter? cock, and more amusing than an orangutan? arsecheeks.
Journos: Grab your writing sticks! Punters: grab your credit cards! Perverts: grab your crotches!
?and prepare yourselves for a fete worse than death!

I'm surprised at you Spandex, I've seen Out Hud a couple of times and thought they sounded like weak-ass rainbow-coloured trance.

He's a different Spandex, May.
Or at least he says he is.

Trance
Maybe we have different definitions of trance??? I haven't liked trance since about 1995.(I don't think we've met. Who is this other Spandex? Do I have a dopelganger?)

You do, he's a bit weird.

oh. it might be me then
Another album I've been caning for the past couple of weeks, which could be heading for my albums of the year list:
As Mercinerias - The beginning of the end of the world: all woman Brazillian post-punk band, rereleased on Soul Jazz. Sort of The Slits meets Joy Division meets The Dead Kennedys sung in Portugese.
Yeah I know, but I do sometimes quite like that sort of thingSkim said:
It's my only (well, apart from hardcore
) concession to cheesiness, so I think I should be allowed <note to self>
Stop bigging up labels, they are all fallible and will inevitably put out some naff stuff
</note to self>
