# cor I thought b3ta had got stuck
I've heard some lovely new music this year

# I just got hold of two albums that I was recommended
one by Pinback and one by Sparrow and the Workshop.

Pinback are poo, don't bother. It's like listening to Pavement with neither charm nor tunes -- which says a lot if you felt that Pavement were a bunch of charmless fuckers who droned in monotones.

The Sparrow and the Workshop album is ace though - fuck knows why they've saddled themselves with a name that will guarantee that they won't make it. Probably some "hilarious" "whacky" shit. Bands, eh? What won't they think of next?

# Pinback...
I turned Spotify on, listened to the "top hit" by them. Saw the "The OC" logo in the album art corner. Already dubious. 13 seconds it lasted until I turned it off

# I actually gave the album two listens
I'm going to send them a bill demanding payment for my lost 90 minutes.

# In all fairness
I don't listen to the radio, nor watch music television, and most songs I've heard this year have been Lady GaGa, and Florence and her fucking noisy machine

# La Roux is worse
It's like glueing coarsly ground glass to a piece of very hairy string and flossing your ears as vigorously as you can.

# I manage to avoid that
mainly cos almost everything I listen to comes from either Boomkat or Scott Hansen's blog

# I just rely on Last.fm or Spotify related artists
To recommend me something. This method works, occasionally

# yer, last.fm is pretty good at that
although they've nerfed full-length tracks now :(

# I take the suggestions from there
And play it in my Spotify.

Is good. Mostly
