Title: amazon.co.uk
Post by: brennser on May 19, 2004, 02:13:00 pm
I'll probably order the new Charlatans and the new Ash this week from them
 
 any other suggestions for stuff I might want to throw in my shopping basket thats not available here?
 
 Amazon is telling me that people like me bought albums by Keane and The Delays? Any thoughts?

You got me thinking.
 I always just order imports from US distributors and end up paying extravagant prices. So I checked out this approach & ordered a few imports I've been waiting on. Even with the $$ conversion + the airmail, it's a much better deal. Seems almost too easy.
 Thanks for facilitating my habit Brennser!

The new Delays sounds pretty good. I've heard a couple tracks on KEXP and I'm sold on 'em.

Doesn't Snow Patrol have a few import-only discs?

Keane is pretty Travis-like. I'm not sure how to describe that British sound... but a bunch of bands have it, with Snow Patrol being at a far extreme. The songs I've heard on XM sound nice enough.
 
 You forced me to go to amazon.uk where i now see that Hundred Reasons finally have a new disc out. Maybe I'll order Ash too.

hmm, listened to the Delays song snippets from their website.  I think it's even too sweet for me, which I wasn't so sure was possible.  I think I like 'nice,' but not so sweet....

listened now, pretty average, some enjoyable songs, but nothing unique about them, I thought less melodic Idlewild when listening to them (which I just noticed is what pitchfork said about them *sigh*), but less melodic Idlewild is a good thing to me, because that is what I don't like about Idlewild, they get cheesy

there were Keane posters all over Common Grounds, don't know if it means they are playing there or they just found some posters
 
 I also saw a flyer for Exit Clov

I think they're playing at Fletchers. I'm suprised there are Clov flyers since they aren't playing any gigs for a month.
