It's a little more than the new album.  They just charted with the highest debut ever in the history of the British charts.  360,000 sold in one week.  That's huge over there, sort of like a million seller over here.  What makes them different?  A number of things:
 
 1.  the way they get so much attention about 8-12 mos ago.  Internet releases.  No label, no big-time manager, they did it all themselves.
 
 2.  they are VERY young but the lyrics are much better than your run-o-the-mill Brit band.  Kids really got into the lyrics.
 
 3.  Their 1st show in London had to be moved to a bigger venue 3 times.  Created a HUGE buzz.  And they lived up to the expectation.  Not just another retro band.  
 
 4.  In the few interviews they've done, they've come across as humble and kind of awshucks.  Not what the Brits are used (Gallagher Bros. sayng they'll be bigger than the Beatles.)
 
 Anyway, not saying they are the best thing ever.  But they are not just like all the over-hyped bands.  They did it differently wihtout knowing any better.

See the Artic Monkey's thread for more info.  I just saw that the NYT did an article on Sunday. Called them "brilliant".

But I meant musically, how are they any different? I guess it's those high quality lyrics.

I see that you posted this before me, ggw. Sorry for the duplication on the "Listening" thread. I've now listened to the songs and like them. Good to hear both Jack and Brendan singing together.
 I also like the retro web site.

This could be interesting for thier cover of Air alone who Roger toured with.  Great website with lots of streaming audio also...

It only looks foolish on substandard machines, like yours.

Kosmo, that Air remix is brillant.  It originally appeared on the All I Need single.  They took the classic original and turned it into dirty porno funk.  I used to blast it in college all the time out my head.

Did I already post this? Charlatans have demos of three new songs on their Myspace page.

First single from the next Josh Rouse album. Very Joe Pernice-ish. Love the Spanish town scenes. Can't wait for my vacation in March.
