Couldn't agree more too much predictable stuff about and music aimed at the studenty scene. Part of the problem for me is that since Peel passed away I don't perhaps pick up on stuff quite so well.  Seem to spend more time filling in gaps although recently got into Southern Culture on the Skids and Dead Sixities.  The former did loads in the 90's but is still about.  Still can't get away from the old punk scene and hunting for stuff I haven't got.  Also now only need two Fall albums for the set plus the new one on Monday.

Must admit the tracks from the new Portishead album sound great and I never ever thought I would get into them, but will probably get that next week.

  Hey hey. I hate to start sounding like a crusty old curmudgeon, but I've got a bit of an issue with modern music.

  Seems anymore I'm always falling back on old standards when I throw on the stereo. 

  (Kj, Stranglers, The Fall, Wire, Ian Dury). 

  Maybe it's just me getting older, but nothing really kicks me in the plums anymore. Seems like most 'music' these

  days is just sterile, unimaginative, and as threatening as a baby. I don't get alot of this 'Folk Rock', like 

  Iron and Wine, Devandra Barnhart, etc. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not a closed minded twat, it's just that there's 

  very little out there that's striking the anvil, so to speak.

  SO gatherers, I do trust your opinions, and taste, so I ask you, what's out there anymore? What's new that's been

  floating your boat? The last few good things i've dug into are: Mogwai, Thievery Corporation, 

  Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Polysics, and the new Firewater record (Todd Ashley - ex Cop Shoot Cop)

  Thanks for letting me ramble..................
