These songs are both fantastic, imminent and require heavy usage of headphones, preferably cans.

rain and notes
The bankholiday is a wash-out, it's almost official. Easter appears to have become like a mini-christmas, all the being pent up inside with bad weather and the same films on television just without the mulled wine.
have some music to listen to in the background;
Fang Island - Fang Island it's a wonderful affair, including samples of fireworks, and although the guitar parts sometimes go the wrong side of the definition of hair-metal it's totally worth it. And if you so happen to be in the US, they are touring with the middle east, woop!
The whole album is avalible to stream straight off their website
I gave it away as a free love on my radio show and I'm still listening to it, Young Jesus's debut ep
is avaliable from their website and not half bad
Death to the Throne has a vast array of remixes on his myspace, and they are all pretty good, the remix of the XX's shelter stands out, it says a lot about the band's universal appeal that they can get taken up by so many different remixes and still sound wicked, (note nosaj thing's remix)
he also has a Noah and the Whale re-mix to download for free, safe yo.
As tipped by Charlie Lodder the new Angus and Julia Stone album rocks, and they are about to tour the UK yo, go get tickets!

Easter
I always associate Easter with noise based bands, last year it was No Age, the year before Holy Fuck.
As we approach this year's break, thus appears Cool World hot outta SXSW and courtesy of the Get Off The Coast blog, go there to download 3 of their tracks.

on course to win the big ol' music prize, just incase you've overplayed the album, here's a big ol' remix for ya, and we all know what happened the last time someone put 'rave' in the title of an indie remix;
Rabbit heart (pest rave remix) - seriously.

best musical artist at latitide
Who was the best band I saw at latitude?
not that i got to see much music given I was telling people which bin to put their rubbish in for most of it but;
it's a tie
Thom Yorke - although i only caught the end of his set, i heard most of it from across the lake and he played everything in it's right place .'nuff said.
65daysofstatic, it was something like the 9th time I've seen them, they are yet to disappoint, played a lot of stuff off their soon to be released album, which sounds spectacular.
Kuran and the wolfnotes who are unsigned but I totally hit up on my radio show in march, don't let the rough demo's put you off, better by the minute and four limbs were both time stoppers, they were pretty confident on stage but showed at times the potential to own it, i think by the time the album hits our hands they will be an unstoppable force, or they will collapse under the weight of the hype that has been growing around them from pretty much the start of the year. wooo!

Latitude festival
I worked at latitude this weekend, there is no way in hell I am going to review it here.
But I did spend a lot of my time in the poetry and literary tent, I got to see polar bear (not the jazz band which seemed to be a bit of a dissapointment people in the audience) and disocvered Molly Naylor, you can read some of her poems for free over there

Mercury Music Prize
So, I'm totally going to repeat this on my radio show blog here, Internet connection wiling. but here are is the shortlist;
Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
The Horrors - Primary Colours
Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires
Glasvegas - Glasvegas
La Roux - La Roux
Florence And The Machine - Lungs
Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
Lisa Hannigan - Sea Sew (stream of the whole album)
The Invisible - the Invisible
Led Bib - Sensible Shoes
Sweet Billy Pilgrim - Twice Born Men
Speech Debelle - Speech Therapy
To hell with impartiality, I hope speech debelle gets it, with florence coming in second, she doesn't really need the mercury effect. but check out led bid anyway cos they, like, rock, yeah.
Barclaycard Mercury are streaming a 30 second clip of each artist, which is why I'm linking you places where you can hear the whole of the albums in question for free, well the one's you're least likely to have heard anyway.
isn't it nice when the banks are sponsoring a music prize, i'd like to think they met at the "we're all doomed but it's your fault" club.
