 | AgainAnd The Dan Patlansky track was rather sweet. Pointers as to where to go to next, with regards to his music?
|
 | thinbrownduke Fair enough! And YES I frickin' love the Dan. Although my favourite of their albums is 'Thrill', which many would disagree with. What about you? I recently purchased Fagen's 'The Nightfly', and have been loving the hell out of that record. For a CD made over a decade before my birth, the sound/recording quality is ASTOUNDING. And I'm in love with Side 2 in particular.

| AgainAnd Eh, on the global scale Finland has the most to offer in terms of metal (as is the case with the Scandinavian states in general). Otherwise it has normal, passable pop, and a good rock artist here and there. So not too much after all, I guess. That certainly showed when I was at the Danish Roskilde festival this summer, where Finland was the least represented of the Nordic countries.

| thinbrownduke Fair enough - vocalists can really put you off a band! And it can get repetitive, I agree, although the album is too short to really grow too stultifying. 'Schoolboy anger' is apposite, although he is singing about things loads of British teens feel on an almost daily basis; and he is incredibly articulate and genuinely passionate! Still, I respect your opinion. Thanks for responding!

| thinbrownduke Hiya! May I ask, out of curiosity, why you didn't like the Arctic Monkeys debut much? I usually am not a fan of much new music, sticking mainly to the 1960s-'70s, but I'm of the opinion that 'Whatever People...' is one of the greatest albums of the century so far. Just wondering! :) x

| AgainAnd That's what the internet is for, right? I share the sentiment with music journalism, which I haven't really followed in Finland. I'm not necessarily so pessimistic about Finnish music as you are about South-African, even if I don't listen to it too much.

| AgainAnd Came across them through the music section of the Guardian. I keep an eye on it, because in addition to the pop-rock coverage it has world-music and jazz stuff which isn't covered on the other music sites I frequent.

| AgainAnd My next review will be on Chatma by Tamikrest, a Mali desert-blues band. Should prove interesting, as reviewing an album means listening to it in more depth than might necessarily occur otherwise. Hopefully the review will be out during the weekend.

| AgainAnd Heyo! Do you already know what you're reviewing next?
