New artists (over the last year) that are definitely worth listening to, IMO:

 

MGMT

Lady Gaga ( tons on unreleased, great songs on youtube - all superb:thumb_yello:)

Little Boots (check out her myspece site at http://www.myspace.com/littlebootsmusic :thumb_yello:as well as her own youtube channel )

 

 

new albums I liked from established artists over the last year:

 

Lily Allen

....

no-one else I can think of...

I don't like the new singles from the Killers. I was really disappointed by both. I hope they won't end up like Oasis...

i don't like lady gaga :no: although it's true i only listened to 2 of her songs...but they didn't made me want more of it..

 

I heard one song of her's and it was more then enough. :naughty:

 

 

Funny, People are really see or black or white ( love or hate her)...

I thought most Mika fans would love her, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

 

Anyway, Mika definitely likes her so I hope they might do record something together later... :naughty:

Well every person have his/her's taste in music, just because Mika seems to like her music doesnt means i will too. I actually think her music is boring and every song sounds the same.

I personally like music with a bit of original taste to it, more like indie rock or any other artist that is original and interesitng.....like Mika for example :naughty:.

Actually you contradict yourself as you said you only heard one of her songs:cool:

 

Yes, you most definitely have the choice to listen the music you like. I don't like some artists Mika does (e.g Patrick Wolf, for example) but when I first heard LG and I could tell she was not a one-hit wonder and had a strong feeling Mika will like her. And I was right.

Yes, we got the Killers twice already. And last year REM was headlining.

And, of course in 2007 Mika was supposed to perform but cancelled as he decided to perform on Good Morning America instead....:sneaky2:

.....

.....

Actually, I understand the decision but he should compensate for it this year....

And then we could have an after show party with any MFCers attending:punk:

Following the news on small gigs in summer, and a likely album release only in autumn, I think the earliest possible date he will consider this part of the world in spring / summer 2010....

 

Until then, I will focus on trying to get into any small venues he will have in Western Europe. :cool:

i would recommend Will and the people! if you are into reggae/ska they are the group for you! they have been tipped in the sun and the star for 09 bands to watch, so if you think you might be interested go to http://www.willandthepeople.com - this should take you to their myspace page and i would recommend the song "salamander"! it is a really feel good song, and their song "knocking" is out on 4th may and has already been on radio 1 with Jo Whiley!

 

also, they toured with the script and the hoosiers, and they are about to start their tour with girls aloud!

 

they are a really good band to look out for! if you like them, let me know! :-)

Well there’s this band Kingston that I saw live a few weeks ago and really enjoyed. they’re playing in LA, New York, Japan and Germany in a few weeks.

 

This is their best song ‘Good Good Feeling’

 

And their second single ‘round we go’ which isn’t as good but has a very cool, mika-esque video :bleh:
