fans of beautiful electronia, canadian jew hip hop, erik satie and lionel ritchie will all find something in the gonz, aka gonzales, aka chilly gonzales.

I’ve joined the lovely people at CLLT and put the Stuck EP on there.
Some great music and all toe-dally free.

how will they be in a 20ft square room…

Better late than never, eh.

10. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
If you’ve put this away to hide it from the hyperbole, bring it out and play it. It really is good.

9. Q-Tip - The Renaissance
“What good is an ear if a q-tip isn’t in it?” Nuff said.

8. The Death Set - Worldwide
Another new band from the goldie (last year it was Operator Please) - this time, acid thrash pop.

7. of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
Not as good as last year’s ‘Hissing Fauna We Are Destroyer’, but still an absorbingly dark and twisted journey through the fantasy mind of Kevin Barnes.

6. Dengue Fever - Venus on Earth
Off kilter 60s Cambodian rock songs.

5. Deerhoof -  Offend Maggie
No, nothing to do with Thatch, but another tunestuffed wonder record from this magnificent band. For some reason, inexplicably unknown over here.

4. TV on the Radio - Dear Science
Survives the painful overhype to resound as a clarion call for everyone who sometimes likes to think while they rock. Great hair too.

3. These New Puritans - Beat Pyramid
Southend. Say no more.

2. Roots Manuva - Slime and Reason
Woah! Best yet from Rodney Smith.

1. The Dodos - Visiter
Class, and great live. Full review here.
