No, because I'm not spending money on it when the Myspace samples are (for the most part) fairly mediocre. |
Oh Ok... ![Cry Cry](smileys/smiley19.gif) I respectfully disagree.

Sounds good. I'm still putting the finishing touches on the new album, which is 9001 times better. Should be out in the next few months.

Which version of Musique pour l'Odyssée are you referring to anyhow?
I have both and I actually think I prefer the original.

One must remember that Henners is fairly mediocre though.

Are you enjoying it then, David? 'cause I sure hell do. All three of their albums.
They're so hipster, not a single person who I would consider a hipster, has heard of them.

Just because they haven't penetrated the hipster consciousness yet is not relevant to the inherent hipster nature of their music. ;-) And James, you're more hipster than I, you're the one who didn't want Led Bib to win the Mercury Prize because then other people would hear about them.
Also, quoted for posterity from the How Was 2009 For You thread before it gets nuked:

Only one post from this guy, but it's a pretty glorious one. He's even a meme!

I only have Sensible Shoes so far. And yeah, I guess they're so unknown that it makes them hipster.

Which album are you listening to? They're both pretty much one album/group to me.

So are Polar Bear hipster jazz too because of the Mercury Prize? The same for Robert Wyatt (for Cuckooland, if memory serves)?
To be fair, they could have won and still not got any coverage. Florence and the Machine and Bat for Lashes are far more hipster than what actually won (which wasn't very good).

I think somebody accidentally let a real music fan nominate them. ![LOL LOL](smileys/smiley36.gif) To be fair, I agree that Led Bib sound like they are the kind of artsy fartsy band that sound like they win competitions like that, which isn't a problem when the music is still good.

Good choice (though either one is good, haha). Though I have composer's syndrome and I can't even hear a second of those albums anymore because I think what I'm doing now is a billion times better. I guess that's a good thing though.
