Watching Placebo in the daylight is a bit like drinking a cup of tea on a hot day. It kinda makes no sense. I'm not embarrassed to admit that this is one of my fave bands. Brian and the boys have been through so many skin changes, it is hard to associate this band with the one that burst out of 1997 but i still like all of their records. Having just released a new album, it is to be expected that they want to show it off, hence the set included several tracks from it, including 'Meds', 'Song To Say Goodbye' and the destined-to-be-a-classic 'Infra-Red', which rivals anything this band have produced.There was a smattering of the old-school Placebo too, with 'Special K' warranting a mention, and the ode to love and lust 'Every You Every Me' going down an absolute storm.Given the quality of the band's own material, it may come as a surprise that the highlight of the set was a cover. As on the recent tour, the band included Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' in the set, and as on the recent tour, it was simply magnificent. Not straying too far from the original, Molko showed the true power in his voice, and the effect was enchanting. Not bad for a bunch of lads in eyeliner. Placebo showed that they are a band at their peak. Few of the bands that came out of the late 1990's have survived, but they have adapted well to the changing musical landscape, and have grown stronger with it. TJ

THE SHINS - OH, INVERTED WORLD
This is a great indie-pop-rock album that perhaps you secretly love, but (if you’re a guy) would never admit to your friends for fear that they’ll call your masculinity into question. And perhaps they should, but not because you like the Shins. The album is extremly well put together (not like Caroline) with songs that are instantly easy to get into. The music is simple but precise. Not overly lavish, but with more than enough to keep you interested. with superb combinations of keyboards, acoustic, and electric guitars.
Highlights: 'Caring Is Creepy', 'Know Your Onion' and definitely 'New Slang'.

THE SHINS - CHUTES TOO NARROW
'Oh, Inverted World' was nothing short of mind-blowing, which means the follow-up from The Shins, 'Chutes Too Narrow', is going to be under some pretty serious scrutiny. Does it deliver? Oh, yes. Track by track, note for note, each song is magnificent. The production is clearly better, and hence it sounds more contemporary than the first, which could have passed for a lost ’60s treasure with its hazy faraway recording. But on Chutes, Mercer’s voice is singing right next to you, and the change works wonders. The front-and-center feel lends the album a youthful, vulnerable fray, something absent from the precision of the band’s debut, and a dynamic addition to the current batch of songs, which vary from the quote-in-a-long-lost-love-letter variety to the weep-into-weak-coffee-and-chain-smoke kind.

Don't let the name fool you; Jose Gonzalez is the Swedish born and raised son of Argentinean parents (LIKE ME!). His debut album, Veneer, is a striking collection of hushed and autumnal indie pop bedroom songs that reside on the hi-fi end of the lo-fi spectrum. Gonzalez is definitely a member of the "quiet is the new loud" school as founded by the Kings of Convenience. Veneer is about as intimate as they come; it sounds like he is sitting right on the end of your bed singing just for you. At times, Gonzalez is a little more forceful than most of his schoolmates, often working himself into a tightly spinning ball of emotion. Mostly though, he is content to cruise along on mellow vocals double-tracked behind gently plucked and strummed acoustic guitars. The beautiful "Heartbeats," "Deadweight on Velveteen," and the gently rollicking "Stay in the Shade" are the high watermarks of a remarkably focused and promising debut. Jose Gonzalez is a welcome addition to the q-school of indie pop. 100% Recommended!!!

The Knife - Deep Cuts (2003)
At first the cheap casio beats sound like you've bought a fifth formers demo tape; but continue to listen, and you'll find a nutty off-beat album, (the Knife must have had great fun making it). It's an album than takes unoriginal sounds and makes a joyously original album, like no other you'll own.

The Knife - Silent Shout (2006)
Probably the most interesting and progressive house album I've ever heard, though I admittedly haven't heard that much. The Dreijer's (brother and sister) made a fascinating album, very difficult to describe. There's a mix of club tracks and much softer, minimal songs. They're always changing pace and doing some pretty creative and experimental things. I think that there are a couple places where they overproduce the vocals, and some of those slower songs are boring. Very good album though, and if you like electronic music at all, definitely worth checking out.

Motorpsycho's most accessable record in their pre- Let Them Eat Cake area. A very, very good piece of work. Some of the songs on this album deserve to get quite a lot of credit and good critics. I'm not fooling you - this record has some truely magical moments. Just check out "Sinful, Wind-borne", "Manmower", or the mighty "The Nerve Tattoo". Great art. Worth trying out, everybody!
