Must Have Albums Of 2010

Ocean Eyes by Owl City.

Put it in your F***ing top drawer lads.

Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke is set to work on a solo album, it has been revealed.

Producer Hudson Mohawke told BBC Radio 1xtra that he may be working on the record with Okereke.

Bloc Party have just completed a UK tour and are set to go on hiatus.

"It hasn't been finalised yet, but I'm doing a bit of stuff for Kele from Bloc Party's solo album," the producer said. "He's doing a record with one of the guys from Spank Rock."

Owl City.

Check out Crime in Stereo's new LP out at end of February, they're a great band.

Oh and an inside tip.

My two friends bands will be releasing full lengths this year and they will do well.

They are:

Caesars Rome (imagine Funeral for a friend but more epic)

I Am Hope (Biffy Clyro-esque)

Please check them both out, as they are the best the Welsh scene has to offer at the moment.

Why is external embedding disabled in here yet you can everywhere else???

New Spoon album next week..though I've got it already. 

Magnetic Fields, Alkaline Trio, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings all have new music out this winter/spring. All of which excite me.

Other TBA are Dan Sartain, The New Pornographers, Devo, Beastie Boys, Arcade Fire, GANG OF FOUR and Social Distortion. Though, based on the last SD I migh give this one a pass. Besides, Mike Ness is kind of a dick.

As mentioned ... Vampire Weekend last week.

This link shows what's coming out in '10 but release dates vary in different parts of the world.

Coldplay's 5th album is estimated for release late 2010

Can't wait

Tourist History by Two Door Cinema Club
I had the blues but I shook them loose- Bombay Bicycle Club

2 seriously good debut albums, get them now!

Early doors yet but i reckon Plan B's - The Defamation Of Strickland Banks will turn out to be the "must have" album for a lot of folks. I've been listening to a 6 track (advanced) copy of it lately and what i'm hearing is an album that will make the lad (Ben Drew) a big, big name. Full album due out early April ....give it a rattle.

Eminem meets Smokey Robinson.....

I have been listening to a leaked copy of the new Ted Leo & the Pharmacists album called The Brutalist Bricks. I am loving it and you will, too. It's out in the US in late March so keep a lookout.

I like some of his stuff, may have to get the album when it's out.

Ocean Eyes by Owl City.

Put it in your f**king top drawer lads.

Cannot get into them at all. That Fireflies grates on me.

The Courteeners new album, Falcon, is a winner. Going to see them 6th March. Can't wait. You Overdid It Doll is a belter.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

The new Foals album - 'Total Lives Forever' appears to be promising great things:

'Spanish Sahara'

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Brilliant song with a video to match.

Amen. It's a cult hero status-like song, but i F***ing hate it.

That's like one of the weirdest album covers ever.

Frightened Rabbit "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" - Only had the one listen this morning, but I really liked what I heard. I can see it going into heavy rotation.

Got me these just today Bklyn.

I have to admit to having an instant liking for 'The Brutalist Bricks' in particular - i'm on my third listen as i type......'The Mighty Sparrow' (a mighty fine opener), 'Bottled in Cork' and 'Woke Up Near Chelsea' (bit of a 70's feel there) - me likey.

Frightened Rabbit - "The Winter of Mixed Drinks"....Hoots mon, what is it with you and Scottish accents?  

Until now they've been a well known 'secret' but this is the album (second listen now) that will catapult these lads into the big-time. Whilst a bit low-key and too 'Snore Patrol meets R.E.M.' for me to ever admit to loving; i can appreciate a good band/album when i hear it. This band will blow festival crowds away, with their sound, this Summer. ..... Not too shoddy: it will definitely fall into the "must have" category for many.

Is this the first Ted Leo album you've listened to? Knowing what I know of your musical taste, I feel confident saying that you will like - maybe love - his earlier works.

Don't know about the Scot thing. It was either the Irvine Welsh novels or Mike Myers in 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' I suppose!

Iron Maiden - 'The Final Frontier' this summer.  Cannot effing wait!  I just hope to God the album title isn't hinting at being their last. 

Maroon 5.

They are also back with the new Album this year.
