Los Campesinos! were the name on everybody's lips last year after they released two indie-pop records to wild acclaim. They're currently recording and finishing the follow-up to both of last years albums but are also unfortunately losing female member Aleks. On a blog written on their site (which was too long so we cut it a bit) the band said: This is a difficult announcement to have to write...

The wife and I tripped down to Madison Friday night to catch the free Titus Andronicus/Los Campesinos! show at Der Rathskellar. It was our first show at Der Rathskellar; we've been to The Annex and the High Noon Saloon before, but never made it over to the Union (which houses Der Rathskellar for those that aren't familiar with the UW Campus) to catch any of the shows the WUD puts on. However, a...

On the band's last release, the epic In the Attic of the Univer...

14. Los Campesinos! We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed As good as Hold On Now, Youngster is Los Campesinos! second record of 2008 was the one that showed that the band has depth and won't just be sticking to one theme or idea for their recorded output.

This list may be a bit premature, but I always find albums in the following year that would have made my year-end lists. Most recently I've found albums from 2007 (Electrelane's No Shouts, No Calls), 2005 (The Meligrove Band's Planets Conspire), and 2001 (Mirah's Advisory Committee) that probably would have made at least my top 25 list. Sometimes it takes awhile for me to give an album the chan...

Perhaps last year you remember Dale (www.mog.com/dale) gathering all the half year lists. Not only was this fun, it was also informative, because this way you could discover all kinds of albums you perhaps hadn't listened to yet but apparently other moggers are very high on!
