      Don't be ridiculous. Slsk my good friend.

      I didn't quite understand why this one didn't take off - but I guess that is why I am a sad music dork sat in front of my computer instead of swinging around on chandiliers from my LA mansion like Simon Cowell.

              I've just bought that Distophia. Only had a chance to listen to it a couple of times, but it is definitely a grower.

        We've had several of these threads most notably in response to the DiS albums of the year.

        my top3 records of 2003 were

        Cat Power - You Are Free
        Pretty Girls Make Graves - The New Romance
        Rufus Wainwright - Want One

          Just checked Dis's list.

          Damn - a top 75 of the year that does not include Kings of Leon!

          Have I missed something here. Why has that album fallen off the hipster radar. It sounds like a classic to these ears.

          Seriously though - you folks need to check out The Clientele record. They are a London band that no-one in London seems to have heard of - although I believe that they are pretty big in the States and Japan.

          The album is stunning - they have a pretty sixties influenced chamber-pop thing going on.

          Got to Solsk and download that shit now.
