In the last month I have bought LCD Soundsystem, Broken Social Scene, MGMT, Liars, Foals, Pavement, Turin Brakes and Wintersleep. Thre are a few stunning albums in there.

So obviously, my ToTD is Unpredictable by Flow Machines.

Blood Collection by Wintersleep.

I can't put my finger on what it is that I love about this band. They don't do anything new and they have a tendency to be pretty overblown at times. But I love them anyway and I love the new album almost as much as the one I was raving about last year.

can't argue with that - really glad they've delivered an album that is every bit as special as their live shows.

and as a barnsley band i 'ope that tommy boo is getting into them as well!

They just finished the news on 6Music and someone shouted "C'MON KIDS!!" and this guitar just started screeching at me. It was fucking awesome!!

I know I know I know I know, it's hard to do, but have we ever let you down?

My God, what an amazing noise.

Kele - Tenderoni

He was incredible in Sheffield last night. So refreshing to see someone on stage who seems to be really enjoying themselves.

Yeah, the sound system had it just right so the base was thudding through my chest. Of course live in a small club everything sounds better.

He did a strange but enjoyable "mix" of Bloc Party tunes in the middle, merging One More Chance, Blue Lights and The Prayer together. Then later played "Your Visits Are Getting Shorter" and finished with Flux. I thought a lot of the new stuff more than stood up to it, especially "Rise", and I'm really looking forward to buying it next monday now.

Should I buy The Chemical Brother album to tide me over though?

Bear by British Sea Power. 6 minutes of genius.

"Saw you reading the Daily Star,
saw you watching the X-Factor,
and I was wondering, how did you fall so far?"

I love this band

Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks by The National

Really really beautiful, and from the Album of The Year by a comfortable country mile.
