| The only new album I've heard this year that stands out for me is Tilly and the Wall with O - to these ears they have the sweetest group harmonies this side of ABBA. I couldn't get into Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Dig!!! lazarus Dig!!! I've heard only a few of the albums mentioned previously in this thread. |

The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement
Nick Cave - Dig Lazarus Dig
Baby Dee - Safe Inside The Day
Randy Newman - Harps and Angels
The Tiger Lillies - Freakshow
and though not really a new album, the audio rip of Marc Almond Live At Wiltons DVD

Hi Px,
With the Tiger Lillies on Friday at one point I had Justin Bond sitting on my knee with his arm around me singing a verse of "Blowjobs" to me.
Still, at least I didn't have to act it out!
