Two Door Cinema Club – Tourist History

What we have here may be the start of big things for TDCC, and not because ‘Tourist History’ is a wonderful pop-record, but it’s an incredible indie record too, and one which is deserving of the success it should bring the band.

Manchester – a city renowned for producing a pedigree of great musicians. With bands such as Joy Division, The Smiths and New Order amongst its exports; it seems the city has a new name to be proud of.

Well, it’s finally here, the end of a decade. But instead of celebrating the joys’ of the last ten years, like the credible and in no way shit music of Mika, The Hoosiers, Scouting For Girls, The Fray, Chris Brown, T-Pain, N-Dubz, Lordi, The Darkness, Jonas Brothers, Goldie Lookin’ Chain and the return (ha!) and death (ha-ha!) of Oasis, I am going to look to the future, and hazard a guess as to who should be making waves in the 10’s (doesn’t really have a ring to it: shame). Enjoy this, my top fifteen to look out for in the next year.

If only Alfred Nobel was more interested in music then maybe today there would be a Nobel Music Prize. Granted, the music scene in the 1800’s was a lacking in choice with whipper-snapper’s U2 being the only kids doing something non-classical. Nobel was, of course, only interested in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and er peace. Shame then because Matt thinks The Big Pink deserve a Nobel prize.

The Strokes front man has finally made his solo music available online, albeit one track on myspace. Nevertheless, it’s pretty good and well worth a listen.
Find it at www.myspace.com/juliancasablancas.
