Democracy has broken out in Belle & Sebastian again, I don't mind at all. Will their fans' heads explode when they hear Norah Jones on a Belle & Sebastian record? Norah Jones as the new Monica Queen. I would have preferred Monica Queen actually.

Update: Record is not great, mediocre, same as the rest. What was unknown was that we are all in anticipation of a Sarah Martin solo record which will not ever likely come to fruition. Sadly.

I think I really like the new OMD album. I've only listened once. Nostalgia could be clouding my judgement.

Sally Seltmann record is my record of the summer. It is romance and love and everything wonderful.

Stereolab singer solo record is not very good. Snoozy. New Fabienne Del Sol record is only slightly better, makes you wonder what a record with her singing Best Coast songs might sound like though.

Update: But the Stereolab record is very good, mostly. Why leave something good to do something not good? Is it all down to ego?

Whoo!!! The new Klima album is out in the end of October. I will be dreadfully unhappy at that time. I am always then, it is to do with work, or to too much of work, so she shall be my salvation. I am convinced. Now if only a Sound of Arrows record would materialise around the same time then I might even find true happiness.

Update: New song on myspace is playing now, beautiful, very.

There is a new Jane Weaver album about. Will it cause me to end my embargo? Unlikely. Her last album was really not very good at all. But I like Misty Dixon and her first album. Forever it seems she will be entwined with Corsica. Sad.

Update: Eh, like everything else on this planet, mediocre. We are all so mediocre. THe most Broadcast-esque are least mediocre but even those are merely in the highest quintile of mediocrity.
