easy one for me..

The Lonely Island - Incredibad

featuring such modern day classics as:

Jizz In My Pants
Ras Trent

and the immense

I'm On A Boat (feat. T-Pain)

 

[shoes]

The Resistance - Muse
Faster Than Light - State of Mind (DB I reckon you'd like this one)
Sub Focus - Sub Focus

 

[db]

Sub Focus - Sub Focus

did you not find that this album was a bit "samey" all the way through? like pendulum's LPs, each tune is a banger and stands up on its own, but trying to listen to a whole album of it, i just end up getting bored pretty quickly.. not a bad album at all, but wouldn't make it into the "best of..." for me..

mind you, there were a couple of surprise pearlers on there, like "could this be real"

Nice selection. I have the Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective albums. Am liking The Field, especially the Cocteau Twins Lorelei sample.

Unfortunately not. There were rumours that they were going to do a one off reunion set at the Coachella festival but Liz Fraser pulled out at the last minute. Iceblinkunluckily they split up before I started listening to them. I would pay a lot of money to see a reunion gig. I also missed Robin Guthrie at the Liverpool Sound City weekend last year.
