The Unknown & Unheard Show 169!
Stream & Download The U & U Show 169 Right Here, Right Now! (MediaFire)
Frightened Rabbit - The Wrestle - The Winter of Mixed Drinks (2010)
- 4th album, Midnight Organ Fight is their best to date.
- This band had a lot of hype from the start, and that combined with a ‘far from album best’ first single pushed me away at first, but the deeper I dug into this album the more I was blown away
- Scottish accent stands out, but there seems to be something more than that to his vocals and make them truly unique.

We Were Promised Jetpacks – Short Bursts – The Last Place You’ll Look (2010)
- Forthcoming 2nd album
- Scottish band with a very similar sound to Frightened Rabbit on the mellower tracks but seem a bit more aggressive when they amp up their sound.

LCD Soundsystem - Oh You (Christmas Blues) - Greenberg OST (2010)
- James Murphy led outfit
- Score for the interesting-looking not ridiculously silly new Ben Stiller role.
- Band known for successfully tapping into many different genres: dance, rock, indie, dicso.
