Actually, posting that title, I'm tempted to say that the Album of the Nowish is an Album by the Notwist, just for the alliteration, but that'd be a filthy, disgusting lie. (not that the Notwist aren't bad, just not...wist? bah, can't think of a suitable pun.)
Actually, Neon Golden is fantastic, go listen.
Anyhow, I've somehow digressed from a largely topicless post, so go me, but back onto the Nowish:
You are all hereby ordered to ascertain (I can help, so can Mininova) a copy of Skeletal Lamping, by the ever-interesting Of Montreal.
Imagine...if Syd Barret was into indie-glam rock, it's pretty awesome, the album switches between dark, when written and performed by main singer Kevin Barnes, to songs about frolicing naked through a field of daisies, and possibly having an orgy afterwards written by Georgie Fruits, the main singer's alter-ego when he's not on his meds, who believes he's a black transvestite (despite Kevin being a white man).
And no, I didn't make that up, Of Montreal are an interesting band ^_^
Also I had Nubile Miscreants stuck in my head all day, which has been a little irritating, but at least it's a decent song :D
Oh, and in close second is In a Safe Place, by The Album Leaf.
Think...Sigur Ros only less northern-european tundra epicnesses, and more pre-roman gaelic england epicnesses, I personally am very fond of the first track, Windows, it's quite pleasant ^_^
Anyhow, I apologise for practically only talking about music, but that seems to be the majority of what I do nowadays apart from homework and too much DS...
Besides, I'm introducing you to interesting new bands :D
Enjoy ^_^
Tom
Also, damn, that took me ages to figure our how to put them songs there...
Still, now I know ^_^
Although I probably should've looked it up rather than trial and error...
