The cloud room

[markie]

Well I have not liked any new music for almost 12 months, but WOXY just played something that made me pay attention....
 
 The cloud room: hey now now

[markie]

They already have a disappointing album:

 great.

Whatev, Pitchfork b*itchfork... The full length isn't as solid but "Hey Now Now" is a fantastic song--number 58 in my top 65 of 2005.

[markie]

Top 65? Isn't that a little eccentric?
 
 Ok, I might just check it out. I have not liked anything else in ages.

what did you expect listening to dc101?

[markie]

But albums by bands I normally like have done nothing for me:
 
 Decemberists
 Gomez
 Fiona apple
 The national
 Idlewild
 
 
 the list goes on and fucking on. I like the National a lot more now, but it is still not as good as their last album.

one of my favorite songs of last year as well - get the album so I can borrow it from you!

[markie]

So do you have any other recommendations to get me out of my hate all new music funk? A Rhettectomy?

I had neither time nor inclination to limit the list to a top 50, so this year itâ??s a top 65!
 
 The entire list is here: http://www.blisspop.com/playlist.html if you want to check it out and nod slightly, wince, hit the ceiling, wink, or say "oh!"

I think the Fiona Apple and National are very good, I agree with the others though
 
 Hey Now Now sounds like first album British Sea Power to me, which is probably why it appeals to you

people who buy 2 albums a year appear to like the new Kate Bush, its not bad
 
 oh and I think you should add Metric to the disappointing follow up list
 
 others have said The Dead 60s sound like the clash
 
 or you could look  here
 
 and   here

I thought that, and obviously Bowie,
 
 "Starman - David Bowie
 
 Intro:
 C    G       C       G
        Hey now now
 
 Verse 1
 Am
 Didn't know what time it was, lights were low oh oh
 G
 I leaned back on my radio oh oh
 D                D7                      G      A C A
 Some cat was layin' down some      rock 'n' roll, lotta' soul, he  said."

Sounds like it's time for alt-country...
