Great thread Bouddi
and likewise ( Joy Divison is music for a cold day I always think).
Top of the turntable is Joy Division - permanent (whole album but title tracks kick ass)
White Hills - Heads on fire (cheers JB)
The Glove - Perfect Murder + sex-eye-make-up and RS looking glass girl, again not new but new to me
one night only - started a fire
Guns of Navaronne - live gigs
Will be waiting for more like Totally Nude Island from The Superions this year
Also rekindling my love for switchblade symphony (when I'm well stoned/drunk)
alot of Sisters, sugar stuff and especially More, which was never one of my faves but i forgive Andrew for his lightweight lyrics, on this occasion

Erm, don't think I discovered much last year to be honest though one of the best bands I heard this year that I hadn't heard before was Wolfpack (now known as Wolfbrigade) a d-beat band from Sweden
Oh and I liked a tune by Burial (but only one)
The music I mainly heard was Body Combat and Body Pump music which I wouldn't usually listen to at all but is good to do martial arts and lift weights to.
I have never "got" Song to the Siren at all to be honest

Excellent topic! Loving the love for the raveonettes & dragonette in their too. Sounds stupid maybe but it's so nice to have the vindication of seeing your favs in someone elses list!
The Raveonettes: Lust Lust Lust
The Stooges: Funhouse - just because every year it sets the benchmark...
Bauhaus - it's taken forever, but finally starting to love 'em!
Ladytron: Velocifero
Howling Bells:
Clinic: Walking with Thee
Bryan Ferry: Frantic (can the world stop over looking this man?! Talking about being so cruelly trapped in a sterotypical caricature - (I realise we weren't but my brain has gone into gross injustice mode and is ranting faster than my hands can type! "Mother of Pearl", "Song For Europe", "Do The Strand", "Bittersweet", the Roxy catalogue is a thing of tremendous beauty but the solo stuff too - "Slave For Love" "Can't Let Go" "San Simeon..." As an aside, there's a nice side line between the wordy, knowing lyrics of early Roxy (& Sisters) and the sparse atmospherics of later Roxy incarnations (& Sisters...)
The Only Ones: More criminally under-rated genius!
Adam & the Ants: BBC Radio Sessions
Grace Jones
Foals
13th Floor Elevators: The Pyschedelic Sounds
The Ting Tings: That's not my name - proper pop tune!
The Duke SPirit: Neptune
Dragonette: Galore (true believer is jaw dropping!)

Oh, I can name well, one band. And at that time I forgot about other music.boudicca wrote: So what floated your boat in 2008?
2008 was the year when I got into The Cure (end of February).
And the rest was history.
Around September I strayed a bit however into ambient music and liked this trip immensely. One of most memorable experiences was the first listen to Hecq "Night Falls"
I have been stuck to The Cure for 1,5 year now.
Collecting bootlegs frenzy started.. ah...
What a year..

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
we should ban him/her before he/she turn into clone of Pista.
mufink wrong in being Pista ( i guess) but being obsessive-psycho-fan, you have to agree, is a bad thing, and no matter what band is your obsession.

Steve is not an obsessive psycho-fan of the Cure, he can take it or leave it I think.
I've seen him go a whole HOUR without listening to them
