Placebo have just released a new single, "For What It's Worth". Any fans out there? I sorta have a love hate relationship with these guys. Sorta shunned them in their early days but there is some serious quality stuff out there too.

Shakey, nice choice on Jesus & Mary Chain. I have most of their stuff and there are a lot of bands whose sound is influenced by them.
BRMC does always have solid albums.
As far as Wilco, Summerteeth is my favorite by them. Since then I've liked most of their newer stuff less and less.
The 2 latest I've picked up by new bands are from Glasvegas and The Airborne Toxic Event. Both are pretty good. Finally got the latest Kings of Leon too.

JAMC were a great and quite underappreciated band. I was lucky enough to see them live quite a few years ago (in 1996 playing along Bad Religion). From what I-ve hard so far Glasvegas seem to be in the same mould: Glaswegians fond of "Wall of sound" production techniques. I intend to listen to their album, I'm just waiting for the hype to subside and the CD price to drop :gap:
When it comes to Placebo, I am wildely biased against them. I actually liked them in their early days (anyone remembers Nancy Boy?) but then they went on to become very popular in Greece and became Greek promoters' safest bet i.e. they headline summer festivals almost every year playing the same songs over and over while we never get to see anything fresh and exciting (I would gladly vent against the average Greek rock listener but I don't want to stray out of topic).
Plus I don't think their sound has evolved much since their debut. My gf loves them though

Ok don't tease me now. I'm not up to speed with this whole computer and internet stuff. But how do you post these videos? I've got much to share but lack a clue.
If you after something a touch different, try "Empire Of The Sun". These guys are from Australia and are a colaberation between a indie rocker and a dance artist.
Been downloading a heap of Death Cab For Cutie. They are reasonably big over your ways correct? Cool stuff generally.
Then the good ole Pumpkins with Disarm. Good times.
