aargh... can't really be arsed!



U.N.K.L.E. - Never, Never, Land

Less patchy than the last proper album, which is kind of a shame - I always liked the whole eclectic nature of UNKLE. Still some good stuff though, Eye for and Eye and the sinister sounding Safe In Mind are paricularly good.



Kill Bill Vol.1

Soundtrack to the new Tarantino flick, some funk, some soul, some RZA and a bit of full on Kung Fu action film sountracking... As with his other soundtracks put together very well.



The Herbaliser - Solid Steel

Pretty much as expected: solid, cinematic hip hop - not as good as the DJ Food effort!



Desert Sessions 9 & 10

Josse Hommes (?) and Polly Harvey go to the desert, invite a bunch of mates and knock out a fair few mighty fine Rawk Toons! If you like Queens Of The Stone Age it will be physically impossible to dislike this CD.



Dizzee Rascal - Boy In Da Corner

Deserving winner of the Mercury Music Prize. It's not Garage, it's more hip-hop. His MC-ing can come across as a younger, cleaner Ol Dirty Bastard, but the beats are like nothing I've heard - pretty brutal! Which is good. I like it, it deserves a listen



Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People

How the hell do I describe this? They are sort of an indie collective, Mogwai with more vocals and less gloom? But sometimes they remind me of Interpol, then they go off on a Dinosaur Jr trip, other times it all gets almost... well, I don't know. Damn fine album though
