Having broadband really is a rather wonderful way of refining your taste in music. Whereas before you'd have to spend £13.99 on an album from Virgin Megastores to discover whether you like a band, this method allows me to sort the wheat from the chaff, as it were. As such, I have discovered some excellent new bands whom you might wish to seek out yourself (and then buy your albums):
Eighties Matchbox Beeline Disaster - Really dumb, dumb and stupid rock, but loveable with it. Big fuzzy basslines, a singer what goes 'RRAAARRRGH' and songs about intercourse with members of YOUR family. It's all quite chaotic really, but a few of their songs are great, notably 'Celebrate Your Mother', 'Chicken' and 'Fishfingers'. Wapow!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Yeah, the NME have been going ape over them for ages now, but their music quite appeals to me. It's fairly hectic and you'll either love it or hate it, and to be honest, they look like New York art students and are probably the most annoying people you'd ever meet, but songs like Graveyard, Date with the Night etc. are definitely worth a listen.
The Thermals - Recommended to me by (again) the NME, only heard a few tracks from them but I like them already. Kind of like The Stooges, but not as good, yet still... quite good.
Sleepy Jackson - If you can, get hold of a song called Glass Houses, it's ace and will be the best thing you'll hear all day.
Other songs rocking the Snuggly-meter at the moment include:
Cave in - Inspire
The Mars Volta - I Cut My Teeth
Radiohead - Myxamatosis
The Rapture - Out of the Race and Onto the Tracks
The Thrills - Santa Cruz
The Zutons - Creepin and a Crawlin
Transplants - Diamonds and Guns
