Incubus - morning view (rockin) Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the great highway (mellow) Durufles - Requiem (must be listened with polo neck and brandy in hand - spiffing music)

Eric, What did you make of the Sun Kil Moon album It took me a while but ive really gotten into it now. Tempted to catch them in the village on the 7th of June

Likewise Klootfan, took me a while to get used to it but really like it now. Stand out tracks are 'Du Koo Kim' and 'Gentle moon' - great stuff.I don't know if you will agree but I think some of the songs like 'carry me ohio' go on a little longer than needed. I'm a big Red house painters (same singer/song writer) fan and have seen them live before. Obviously their gigs verge on sending you to sleep, but lead man Mark Kozelek has an incredible voice live and is a great musician. I'd recommend checking him out.

My Last trois ceirnínís that i burned/permanently borrowed/bought were: Johnny Cash - American IV: When The Man Comes Around (legend). 30 Grandes De Bob Marley (s**te quality 2-discer from a spanish supermarket). Marvin - Stars (surprisingly together €3 ep from some gig). Well anyways this is a deadly site that i have just happened upon. Get up the boys!

I dont get the pumpkins although I can appreciate why some do. Give me the eponymous debut of the undertones any day! (I heard "eponymous debut" on an ad on the radio for an album once and promised myself that I would one day make myself sound clever, intelligent, learned and bright by using it... dont have a clue what it means, guessing it just means good, or great, or deadly or something positive. Answers on the back of a postcard.)

hmmmm... have to agree to that first post re: ratatat. them boys are on to something... as for me: Magnetic Fields: i. Stephen Merritt is a genius, and this album ranks among his best work. the man can take the happiest song and put the most awfully depressing lyrics over it, leaving you wandering around completely manic and unsure how you feel about anything. fantastic. REM: New Adventures in Hi Fi limited edition i actually already own two copies of this (bought one when i thought i lost the first) but this one came with a book, and it was used, and i'm a huge sucker for REM, and ok i'll stop making excuses. i bought this because it's pretty and because REM could sell me sour milk if they wanted to. I'd buy it, drink it, and ask for more. Loretta Lynn: Van Lear Rose ...because i love good country music and i'm (almost) never afraid to admit it. It took me a while to warm up to this...it's being hyped like crazy in the US because loretta's 70 and Jack White produced it. It's inferior to a lot of her work, but better than i initially thought...i actually got this for free bought would've bought it, eventually, anyway... that's my list... oh, and 'eponymous' isn't particularly positive...i THINK it's just a fancy word for "self-titled" don't let the fancy words fool ya, -h.

Beth Gibbons, Out of Season - Keeping the old portishead vibe going and, at the end of the day, isn't that what we all need. Seriously good album John Martyn, Solid Air - Just discovered John Martyn recently through a friend. Great mix of blues, jazz and folk on this album. Definitely worth a listen Berkley, Hope, Prayers and Bubble gum - Some excellent tunes on this album. Proof posetive that Irish boys can still rock

El Dude...Solid Air is a little beauty isn't it? John Martyn played here in Vicar Street recently..i didn't make it and heard that it wasn't a great gig. Not sure if he can capture the same atmosphere live as he has on an album like that. He was on Jools Holland recently too..missed that also (!) did anyone see it?

Oooh... let me think. The last three CDs... I buy them so often they all sort of meld into one huge collection in my head, so I'll just say three recent ones instead. U2- WAR I've only just started my collection of U2 music and I found this one in a sale at the record shop. I really like it :) Saw Doctors- Live In Galway This probably wasn't even that recent, but my memory sucks. It's a great album though, Oh, and I bought an REM album too. It was a compilation one, but it wasn't the blue one :) It's not as good as the blue one, either... but it's got some songs I didn't knowingly have before on it.

So what does Eponymous mean??

Working backwards: Strokes - Room on Fire Santana - Abraxas Best of Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac (the only fleetwood mac worth listening to in my opinion) And just before that if you're interested: double CD of Gomez - Liquid Skin and Bring It On Jeff Lang - can't remember name Next to buy: Eagles of Death Metal, Gomez, and some God Speed You...!

Karlito I agree. Mundy's first album=crap, Mundy's second albu=very excellent, Mundy's current album=in between. Good live though. Looks pretty good too...

I liked Gomez's first two albums. Anyone picked up the new Gomez album ? Just wondering if its worth picking up

"Karlito I agree. Mundy's first album=crap, Mundy's second albu=very excellent, Mundy's current album=in between. Good live though. Looks pretty good too..." I have to disagree. Mundy's first album=Great tunes, over the top production, Mundy's second album=not so great tunes and still over the top production, Mundy's third album=?, but I bet it's over produced

Rest - our friends no nothing about density - Lovely. The Republic of Loose - This is the tomb of the juice (or something to that effect) - smashing Wilco - A ghost is born - faaantastic.

Ehh, hang on, you have both got the wrong end of the stick 'Undertones' by The Undertones is not eponymous. It's just repetition. Nor is, calling an album 'Eponymous' by whatever bands wants to use that word. EG: Rem / The Alarm / Soulsytem / Brain Surgeons... The following is the correct use of Eponymous 'Who Killed The Zutons ?' by The Zutons Jeez, Binokular, are you trying to write the music version of 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' ?

I like that title! (runs to copyright office before Jules has a chance to change his mind), nah I was just being silly. I obviously don't have the grammatical prowess to pull it off anyway. So if "undertones" isn't eponymous why do all the record companies/journos call em eponymous? Is this just another case of someone making a mistake about 20 years ago in the NME and everyone copying it for the next 20? :D Edit: looks like you changed yer mind already, spoilsport
