Thanks for sharing Rob, cool selection , well you made me want to listen to the Friendly Fires album you showed (which i have never heard of). Thanks for the recommendation, its a very cool one, indeed. Cheers
Hi thanks for watching I know there’s a few channels who show newer bands etc. this contest was a nice opportunity to feature 10. Thanks for leaving a comment it’s appreciated 👍
Thank you for showing us artist that for most have know knowledge of….I’ve checked out The Slow Show and on your recommendation have just ordered a bit of their vinyl….thanks for the video…👍👏
Great thread! Forget squinting at that dead wax or drowning in streams, share new music with me! I had only heard of The Foals…and of course, Andy Bell. Excited to listen to all of the others you mentioned!!!

Hi. It’s not always easy to find time to upload videos . But I appreciate that you took them time to watch and leave a comment on mine. . Have a great weekend 👍
I don't know The Slow Show. I'll check them out. I have something from the rest, bar Andy Bell and Palace. Only Jane Weaver on vinyl, though. Have you heard Fenella and their 2022 album, The Metalic Index? It's a Jane Weaver side project, mostly instrumental electronica. Nice record. Thanks for the shout-out, Rob. I appreciate that. I'll be starting my advent calendar-style countdown of my top 24 new releases of 2023 tomorrow. Just a short daily video. Cheers Rob
Hi Andy the slow might interest you . I will be watching your advent calendar videos for sure I saw the video when announced what your plans for December were . I’ll be doing my favourites from 2023 later this month 90% I haven’t shown on my channel so you might find my choices interesting. Cheers Andy 👍
Hi chance , the uk vc isn’t really a indie homeland hence most channels ignore foals which is a shame. Thanks for watching and commenting have a great weekend chance 👍
Hi Rob... some interesting choices mate, i own albums by Foals, Bombay Bicycle Club, Friendly Fires i am playing The National in the car today so i will check out Slow Show. a great entry mate - Lloyd
Hi Lloyd . I’m checking out the latest national album too …. I’ve been a fan since I saw them in 2013 .. thanks for having such a good question dog your contest it was nice to showcase these artists 👍
Hi Alex , my apologies I saw you show everything everything on your channel a couple of years ago . I’m looking forward to there new album which comes out in march .. thanks for watching and commenting Alex 👍
Hi Rob, Bloc Party are a funny band for me. I bought Silent Alarm when it came out, really enjoyed it, then completely lost sight of them. I must reconnect. I like BBC, and agree that it’s great name, I have a few of theirs. Friendly Fires excellent band. Slow Show sound interesting, I know nothing of them but I do like The National still have to check them out. Good luck in Lloyd’s contest. Mike
Hi Mike I thought Lloyds contest was a great opportunity to highlights artist who don’t seem to get that much attention in the vc . Have a great weekend Mike thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Cool, some more great bands that I need to check out. I love the art work on that Everything Everything album, that's worth the price of admission by itself. I have heard of Bloc Party, but I guess I've never paid much attention to them before. The Friendly Fires art work is beautiful too, very nice. Some very interesting bands that I need to check out there and excellent response to the contest!
Hi Mike , this contest was a perfect excuse to show off a few of my favourite bands .. i hope you found something you like in amongst them .. thanks for watching and commenting
@@robwalkerletthemusicplay I did hear some tracks from The Friendly Fires and Everything Everything. Both of the bands are quite good, so I will definitely be on the look out for them. Thanks for bringing them to my attention!
Excellent video, must make note out of Foals. Bloc Party are excellent, got them on CD. That Bombay album looked a LOT like thay Zero 7 album, When It Falls! Mostly unknown artists for me, taking notes, I LOVE that Carly Simon album! Also lovely kitty. Thank you our Rob 😊
Hi morten just to let you know I watch most of your videos I really enjoy your content , you’ve certainly one of my favourite newish channels I’ve discovered this year 👍.. I hope you find something of interest in my choices. Thanks for watching and commenting have a great weekend 👍
@@robwalkerletthemusicplay aww… thank you Rob! I think your content is banging! And you have a splendid delivery. And in a VC with either a lot of US/Canadian content and quite a big Heavy Metal contingent its great to get to see British content, it is after all perhaps the biggest part of my collection. I am just finnishing up my video from todays record fair/my it happened to be the last day of Kiss video.
@@MortenAastad there’s so many channels on the vc .. one thing I like is that you’re constantly uploading content.. that’s something I want to also do .. thanks morten 👍
@@robwalkerletthemusicplay maybe a bit too often some would say but between not having come up with a way of storing content outside my phone yet and not wanting ideas and inspiration go to waste, its what it is while I can keep doing it. I have a lifetime collection, never took a break from physical music like so many others of our contemporaries.
Nice! Definitely don't see much Bloc Party. Loved the hell outta that first LP; saw them at Coachella, I believe. Maybe the Sasquatch festival as well. Dang that was a long time ago. Great list! Only thing missing I think was Doves. LOVE Doves. Lost Souls seems like one of those LPs I'm gonna overpay for one day. Cheers, Rob. Enjoyed! 😁
Hi craig . Doves are one of my favourite bands. to be honest I could have chosen many more bands but stick with 10 .. bloc party are a band that I’ve always loved it’s nice to know you’re a fan. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Hi Rob, interesting picks, Several I've heard of but not heard much from...Silent Alarm was a popular CD with the family in the car back in the day. Not spun any Jane weaver for a while so thanks for the prompt. Good luck...cheers Dale
I really like Jane Weaver, have her albums downloaded, nothing on vinyl yet. Her "Flock" album is really good. I'll have to check out the other bands you showed, great video, Rob. Cheers!
Hi Mike , I’m not surprised that you rate flock .. for me it was a grower . It’s great hearing from you. I hope you’ve settled into your new 🏠.. thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Good selection Rob, I must admit I have a bit of a fondness for early noughties music though I rarely followed any bands beyond the one album or sometimes even beyond one track. I used to pick up on a lot of new stuff via the free CDs given away with 'Word' magazine, eg. Silver Seas, Cashier No. 9, Animal Collective, Kasabian, etc. I absolutely loved A Different Fix by Bombay Bicycle Club which I played to death on CD but have still never picked up on vinyl. I did buy a vinyl copy to send overseas as VCLT to a guy called Bill (Helmut Diggy) many moons ago, but he never told me what he thought of it. That was a wasted gesture, should have kept the bloody thing for myself and saved my money. Hope you have a good Crimbo and new year.
Hi James. Thanks for watching every decade is full of great music but our favourites are determined by many things age , love , circumstances etc .. my son was discovering music for the first time and I had a newly born daughter so the 00s was a great time for me .. I hope you’ve settled into your new home and have a great Christmas James 🎄👍
Hi Rob. I was curious to see what you'd pick ... I really like Bombay Bicycle Club. I like bands where you can see progression from one album to the next. They were excellent on a recent Later With Jools Holland ... Nice words about Norman Maslov, and Lloyd Boon.
Hey, Nostalgia hasn't hit the 2000s generation yet, wait 10 years & it will. At moment I can't get enough 90's indie/alt rock for my Irish customers. Also there are too many ole ones on the RUclips 'VC', they wouldn't know this music.
Hi this contest was a good opportunity to showcase some lesser shown artist to the vc .. ive a lot of affection for the mid 2000s.. I was in my 30s! Enjoying life 😳. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Hi Russell this contest was a nice opportunity to feature bands etc who don’t get shown often .. funny observation about the zinmerframe 😀. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Hi Kevin . I enjoyed your recent video about your growing collection I fully appreciate what you’re going through . Yes foals are an incredibly popular live band I really need to see them next time they tour .. thanks for watching and commenting have a great weekend 👍
Hi Rob - I really like the debut Bloc Party album Silent Arm. It's an intense affair. Andy Bell smoothly seguewaying from Ride to Oasis was impressive. Forget promotion , Norwich are in a fight to avoid relegation. Very disappointing squad. Happy Holidays 🎄 !
Hi David I’m a big fan of bloc party but I don’t think they bettered silent album .. big day today I’ll be watching the Ipswich v Norwich game on tv 👍⚽️
Hi.. I’ve only been aware of the slow show for a couple of years .. this contest was a great way to talk about them. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Hi Rob - I have heard of the Foals and Bloc Party, but I have never listened to them, but I have heard some tracks from the Bombay Bicycle Club. Did Slow Show take their name from the National track entitled Slow Show?
Hi Bryan .. it’s often been said that the slow show are named after that national track but I’ve also heard the opposite. For me it’s too much of a coincidence. Thanks for watching and commenting Bryan 👍
11:17 who painted that cover? It looks just like Nicole Eisenman. While you're looking that up for me, please put a link in the description for Lloyd boon world of music 2. Cheers.
Blimey Rob, couldn’t you have looked more grumpy in that thumbnail? 😂 I do like Bloc Party actually but never bought anything by them, hopefully one day I’ll remedy that 👍🏼
i watch a lot of these VC videos bc im a music lover but i have to actually say this. These people for the most part have freaking horrible taste in music. Subjective or objective, no matter. NOBODY talks about FOALS. They have dominated for over a decade now and are the best modern band on the planet. I see people left and right showing off Kiss records. KIss off
I tend to agree with your theory.. why doesn’t anyone show foals records? … this contest was a fun way to show artist I feel need more attention.. thanks for watching and commenting 👍
So you are the one who have the right music taste ? Congrats. All the shown Albums are not bad but not more. Thats one reason why this channel only has 1580 subscribers.
Hi Rob/ don't think you ever got around to showing your Top 10 American Bands, you mentioned The Beach Boys were in it. I'm friends with original Beach Boy Al Jardine, some former back up band members on Faccebook and a couple others associated with the group. I guess better late than never. Continued success with your website.
Thank you for bringing up Bloc Party. I saw them last year out here in California. Kele also did a DJ set that was great. Love that band.
Hi glenn. Bloc party are easily one of my favourite bands of the mid 2000s thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Thanks for your great taste Rob! You are one of the few keeping it fresh.
