the eternal quest for music that sounds nothing like the office itunes i am forced to listen to for 40+ hours a week

after listening to hot chip on repeat for pretty much the last two months,i went on another quest for new music. god i'm such a whore for listmania on amazon. it's great until you find one of your favorite albums on a list,presumably surrounded by 24 other albums that have great potential to become your next favorite,only it turns out to be an awful disappointment that just makes you want to click the back button on your browser just to get the fuck out of there. an example would be:


hot chip - coming on strong

mgmt - oracular spectacular

...ooh this is good,i'm liking this so far...

girl talk - feed the animals

vampire weekend - vampire weekend

...oh yes,i'm so into this...

fleet foxes - fleet foxes

of montreal - hissing fauna,are you the destroyer?

...yes! my god,yes!...

phil collins - greatest hits

nickelback - silver side up

good charlotte - the young and the hopeless

sean kingston - beautiful girls

...what? WHAT???


anyways,my quest led to these albums:

cut copy . in ghost colours // van she . v // the last shadow puppets . the age of understatement // black kids . partie traumatic // chromeo . fancy footwork // digitalism . idealism // elbow . the seldom seen kid // foals . antidotes // goldfrapp . seventh tree // the klaxons . myths of the near future // los campesinos! . hold on now,youngster

wish me luck.
