Music Monday: 09/11/09

This is a trend I’ve noticed a few people do on Twitter, so I’m going to do it here on my blog. Every Monday recommend some music I like… and call it Music Monday.

So we’ll start today. With Idlewild. Seems only right seeing as my last blog post was about them.

These two tracks are from their latest album Post Electric Blues.  As I said in my last blog post, it’s not had the greatest reviews, but I think it’s up their with some of their finest work.

Post Electric Blues by Idlewild

Readers and Writers is probably the catchiest and most mainstream sounding song since You Held The World In Your Arms.

Take Me Back To The Islands shows a folky side to Roddy and Idlewild that I quite like.  If you like Take Me Back To The Islands then you should check out some of Roddy’s solo work.  I like to think this song is about Shetland, although it’s probably certain to say it’s not.
