Not a music/band recommendation from me, but I've been really enjoying this blog where a music critic has gone back and reviewed every UK number one since 1952 (currently, he's up to 2001).
http://freakytrigger.co.uk
Specially for the longest UK number one run, he listened to (Everything I Do) I Do It For You sixteen times.

They've been keeping on since then. Turned into a decent rock band.

Absolutely loving The Last Shadow Puppet's sophomore album 'Everything You've Come to Expect'.
So far, my favourite track is 'Pattern'. A distinctive blend between their renowned 60's inspired indie pop sound and a contemporary r'n'b hip-hop production. This song suits Miles Kane's vocal work perfectly, and Alex Turner's lyrics ("And I slip and I slide, like a spider on an icicle, frozen in time") are mesmerizing as usual.

Currently cannot stop listening to Disturbed's Sounds of Silence cover. Surprising how good this cover is!

Gary Clark Jr. is incredible, I'm definitely going to see him live this summer. He does a lot of different genres, even on one album. I recommend!

If you like animation and artsy-stuff, and or if you want your eyes to become Victoria Falls, the video for "Creative Types" by AnimatedJames is for you. Really good, beautiful animation that, like I said, will make you cry.

The Killers are such a great band <3. Can't decide if I like Mr. Brightside or this song more...

I love Death Grips soooo much. Super intense rap that just gets me pumped up. Here are some songs.

Also going to mention Run The Jewels. Fellow favorites that fall into the intense rap category (although much less intense).

I'm sure all the Radiohead fans have already got their hands all over this, but if you like any of their albums from Kid A onwards, you'll love A Moon Shaped Pool. The production and instrumentation is delicate and and brings out all the right emotion (Not recommended for anybody with an aversion to depressing music).
If you don't like Radiohead but do want to see the cute puppets from Trumpton performing Satanic rituals a la Wicker Man, you should still watch the video

I finally got around to by One day all this will end by a band call Svalbard (something to do with polar bears).
To be honest, I only followed them because their singer and guitarist is fit - then I found out that alongside Liam is CF's own Serena so that was a second reason to listen to them
I've heard tracks here and there over the last couple of years and the band does tap into my music taste in a few areas. I like my metal more industrial than cock, but there has to be something solid too and Svalbard do that. Although I do find it hard to listen to due to liking a clear vocal lead (I like to sing along :lol: ) , musically it's excellent. Guitars are strong with excellent paths and progressions that can be haunting, melodic or thrashing (often all in the same song ). Drums are beating (with my favourite double bass drum) strongly all the while in complex, deep bass rhythms and it's just the stuff to get me going.
I thought I'd do a proper kind of review of each track for people wondering if they may like it.
Perspective
After a blindingly strong and loud opening, this track is relentless. Underneath however, this is a really touching song about the struggles of trying to draw images that appear to be in 3D or with depth. The struggles of things closer being larger and drawing things further away as smaller. It's all a bit too clever, but in the end it's all so obvious, it takes more than strength. Deep in many ways.
Disparity
After a beautiful set of guitar licks, the song bursts into life in a 720 degrees-esque style ( http://www.720zone.com/09_park_8.mp3 ). This is finally, a song that tackles the issue of lost bits across a packet network. The tragedy of receiving the packets and finding that the parity bit is wrong. It's woes to a network engineer and the song sums up the struggles of finding that bit of bent cable causing the the packets to just fragment over and over or a lose wire causing the entire infrastructure to under-perform.
The Vanishing Point
[youtubevid]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8d9EHfwQBw[/youtubevid]
My favourite track from the album begins with a haunting, dysfunctional opening half of quiet despair, before heading full bore into a ballistic, drum and guitar riffed incredible piece. It's a second song covering the problems and nightmares suffered by people trying to draw in 3D. This time tackling how to draw a horizon and make a road look like it's heading down the page, with the viewer stood on the cusp of entering the work. Even harder is getting those lampposts and trees to stand upright as the road heads away from the viewer. I have memories of being at school, studiously trying to achieve this thinking "No one **** else is?" It's tough and I'm glad that somebody has finally tackled it in song.

In what could be classed as the "Single" track from the album, there's a much more recognisable verse/chorus structure here. Though don't let that drag you into a false sense of security, the song rapidly progresses and keeps you on your toes. The vocals yell in support of the lifetime work of Aretha Franklin and the struggles of growing up as the daughter of one of the world's most famous presidents/scientists. Nothing more, nothing less.
Unrequited
Powerful and downbeat from the off, unrequited is a track about making up words. You can quit, but you cane unquited and you most certainly can't be re-quited and then unrequited is most definitely out. Though my spell checker says otherwise. We'll juts pretend that didn't happen. Anyway, watch out for the fantastic, manic latter section of the song. It picks up pace and is a show piece of the talent in the band.
The Damage Done
A cheery and upbeat little ditty about having a bit of ding in your car in Asda. Happy little licks intersperse the act of exchanging insurance details while you sit with a half empty trolley and full of guilt. You really shouldn't have signed it Mickey Mouse... This song is a warning to us all - take photos when it happens.
Unnatural Light
A constant deluge of sound to accompany the problems of dealing with the two days of British summer we get each year. As we know, everyone gets excited about having a BBQ and it begins to gain real momentum, but then this "unnatural light" vanishes by the time the weekend comes around and everyone just sits and mopes and watches **** TV instead,

I couldn't work out what this one was about. I suspect bunnies summoning Cthulhu to bring about the end of the world.
There we are. It's become a hit with family_furie. Maxi-Minor_furie was singing along to it the other day in the car. Must be an age thing

I heard this song for the first time on the Cedar Point beach near the Hotel Breakers. Anyone know how songs can bring back memories? Yeah this one does for me for Cedar Point so I love it for that reason alone. Plus it's a catchy song. Every time I hear it I get both happy and sad and wish I could be at the Point as it brings back memories of the awesome time I had there. But nah, I'm in the plains of Kansas with nothing exciting around.

Recently discovered the album Ten Love Songs by Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør. It's got energetic and powerful to somber and delicate. Recommended to anybody who likes other Scandinavian artists like Röyksopp, Robin etc. Also, recommended to everyone else because it's amazing.
