I like pavement, but I am not into them as many people out there! There is something missing when I try to get into their groove, something that I can't put my fingers about!

Fire Like This is still my favourite but yeah it's pretty good. Also, I had to chance to hang out with them twice after their shows. They're really cool, they're playing Rock En Seine this summer, really happy to see them for the third time this year.

Been on a Pavement binge for quite some time now. This song is my Gin on the rocks.
It doesn't reach the heights of Fire Like This or Box of Secrets, but it's really consistent. I don't find any album really stands out among the others, they've been consistent themselves over the years, but I'd also put Fire Like This as my favourite.

Blood Red Shoes dropped a new album...

I slept on the new Malkmus & the Jicks, but 3rd time or so through and really liking it.
Yeah, this is really good. Smoov J in particular is a great song.

I've been having a problem with Rock music recently, used to be really into some more modern bands but now I have sort of devolved into largely ignoring anything new, something my brother always takes the piss about (he likes all this Pop-Punk stuff). So what new bands sound like or equivalent to any of these:
The Band
Led Zeppelin
Thin Lizzy
Hendrix
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Eric Clapton
Just to give an idea of what I like, any suggestions would be really appreciated, I miss waiting for new albums and getting excited about upcoming releases.

One of the most overlooked (under-rated) alt-rock albums, pretty much perfection:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owNtZIn7L4A is a fantastic taste of the album.

When I saw Built to Spill last year they played Neil Youngs Cowgirl in the Sand to perfection, so good. And a great version of Kicked It in the Sun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBBbA33VrHk
They should tour more often

Spoon. You can't go wrong with Spoon.

I know, and yet.
I don't really have the modern incarnations of that sound on my radar, so everyone gets recommended Spoon.

Except for the fact that Spoon doesn't sound anything like all the bands he listed
Not that I disagree though. Spoon announced their first gig in The Netherlands since 2010 today. So I'm seeing them again on november first, at last!
They announced a show in Paris as well, really happy \o/

Much better suggestion.
Lonerism is the more acclaimed album but don't sleep on Innerspeaker.

Wow, bloody Hell guys, great suggestions. Working my way through several songs now and thanks for getting back to me.
Whilst I'm here has anyone heard Robert Plant's new song?

As Tame impla's already mentioned on this page, you should check out The Ghost of A saber Tooth Tiger last LP
Sean Lennon's last project with Tame Impala's producer. Same kind of psych rock, and the guy also sounds like John Lennon, but he totaly has the right to.
Animals
Moth to a Flame

Yeah, And Melody's Echo Chamber for the same reasons.

I saw Robert Plant about 4 years ago, touring in support of his last solo album. Kind of disappointing tbh but this sounds a bit better.

This new Strand of Oaks album is absolutely fantastic! Here are a couple tracks to give you an idea. It's going to make my year end list

y'know who are really great? elbow.

I wouldn't exactly compare Melody Echo Chamber. Very shoegazy band. They were quite mellow live!
Both times I saw her live the volume was pretty damn loud I must say. The band came up with some nice sound scapes.
So the Inrocks Festival in Paris announced their line-up and holy shit.
But, it's going to be crazy expensive (30~40 per gig) and most of the shows sold-out in just hours. Just hope I can get a ticket to Jesus & Mary Chain, especially if they're playing Psychocandy.
12 november for Albarn. 14 november for The Orwells, Parquet Courts and Palma Violets. 16 november for Jesus and the Mary Chain and Eagulls. Some pretty cool bands there.
This also gives me some hope Albarn comes to The Netherlands for a club show in november. Going to see him at a bigger open air festival this friday, so psyched.
The Joy Formidable have released a video for their first Welsh single Yn Rhydiau'r Afon. Really good.
Fucking love that band! Great song and I am actually saddened that their next album is at 1 year away
They were loud, but there weren't abrasive or had a loud percussion. They relied heavily on ambient and atmosphere in their melodies. POND, however, is just head-on collision of noise and aggression!
Any of you fan of East India Youth? I saw him live and was absolutely amazing to a point that I had to see him again in another town. He is very experimental and have nice ambient tracks, whoever, his dance stuff are the most incredible thing I have heard since Liars' WIXIW. Magnificent stuff!

They're recording it right now, so I think it's safe to assume it'll release around or in January next year like the others. At least we get a new single every month for this singles club they're doing.

Really? That's a neat idea, 12 tracks in a year too. More bands should do weird releasing styles.
Yeah, good to see them being active until they drop a full LP, but I am gonna go full on blackout until their album. One of the reason Why I loved Wolf's Law is how blind I went into it.
I thought their role was two full years between each full release?

Yeah, it's a cool idea: http://thejoyformidable.com/home/ Each B-side is going to be a track from a relatively unknown Welsh band (though they said they might expand it to other countries down the line) so it's good exposure for them too.
Very cool, The Quietus did a piece on the Best Kept Secret festival over here in The Netherlands: http://thequietus.com/articles/15608-things-learned-at-best-kept-secret
Good to see foreign media picking up on that festival since it's pretty unique in many ways. Worth a read and I'd still recommend anyone to go there next year.

I was so happy that they played nine Doolittle songs at Best Kept Secret last weekend. Here Comes Your Man especially got the crowd moving. They were in great form playing a big crowd at the main stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQo88aJEfuw
Still find it odd to see people say they're a bit tired of Pixies by now. That their reunion gigs aren't worth the effort no more. But they still have great energy and performance if you ask me.

They're absolutely amazing live. One of my favorite shows.
Yeah, its bloody amazing. Its incredible how much they have progressed through their short career. Why, it fells like yesterday when I wasn't into them, but their latest album have changed my perception towards them.
This means we gonna pogo right? You do that in London right because at the Amsterdam gig it was amazing!
