Even with the past indiscretions, give my old Keane every time.Īnother band trying something new is Bloc Party. But that was old world Keane and this is new world Keane. It would be a horrible cliché to say 'right back at ya boys' as Tom sings the lacklustre chorus - just about everything on the band's impressive debut is better than this. Current single The Lovers Are Losing was also flat and the least said about Better Than This the better. The song has grown on me a lot but it doesn't work well live - lacking energy. Keane performed three tracks from the new album Perfect Symmetry, opening the Tuesday show and closing the Friday with Spiralling. Jakob Dylan - Something Good This Way Comes The best artist on the show Jakob Dylan only got one song each show - it was a brief uplift to the rest of the acts. There was another pointless interview with a non-performer plugging a new 'greatest hits collection' and the promising new band, thecocknbullkid was simply awful. Both sets from Keane and Bloc Party yielded mixed results and an injection of 'world music' from Amadou & Mariam did not lift my spirits. Yet again the 'headliners' failed to impressive with their brave new material from new albums.

Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust - Sigur Rós.I Want You To Know That There Is Always Hope - I Was A Cub Scout.

Nothing to challenge the big top 5 though. Some good new albums this month, specifically from Ra Ra Riot and The King Blues.
