^^
different vocalist on the 2 tracks?
prefer the music on the first, vocals on the second
have they come up with a new genre for this type of music yet?
seems to be my favorite nowadays, like the bands you mentioned

THE SABOTEURS "consolers of the lonely" cd,2008

bought this one back in the day because it had a White Stripes feel to it...
lots of their eclectic sounds happening...
the lyrics and vocals are very Jack White...
production is credited to Jack White III, used to think they are paying homeage to the guy, but ive just discovered today that this is a Jack White side project...Laugh My Stupid Arse Off!!!!!
also, for some strange reason these guys are known as The Racontours everywhere else in the world, but are called The Saboteurs down this way...WTF!!!!!
all up though, a very good album...

MORRISSEY "viva hate" cd,1988.

debut solo set from the then defunct UK indi band The Smiths...
album was originally titled "education in reverse" out here, but it got recalled after two days on the shelves as Morrissey(or his management) decided they should use the same title as the UK...well, i did get a copy of the 'education' titled album,apparently only thirty or forty only over got sold prior to the recall, so my almost mint condition copy may well be worth something to a Morrissey-ophile one day...
bought this cd copy a month or so ago simply to continue the vinyl to cd changeover thing i do every now and then...
this is the typical wrist-slashing/depressingly mundane Morrissey that we all know, only problem here is that Johnny Marr is no longer involved, thus it is substandard, even by the Smiths standards..
nothing great on here to match the early singles of The Smiths, but cudo's to Mozz, he is still out there performing and releasing albums for the original "emo's" of society!
one of the tracks on here is called 'margaret on the guillotine"...a song a song describing the state she left the UK in after she left politics, i guess Morrissey could finally sigh a breath of relief a month or so ago now 'the witch is dead'...LOL!

Third album from the band and it looks like their best selling. Scores the same as the previous
Sparkle and Fade for me, with two love tracks and one crappy instrumental, which got them a
grammy nomination for Best Rock Instrumental. Didn't know there was such a category. Four
singles off of here of which Father Of Mine was the only one to hit the main chart at #70.
Others hit various other charts. That track is my favorite. The album made it to #33 here. One
unratable track at 34 seconds plus one of those hidden bonus tracks (yippee). Almost missed it
as I had taken the headphones off.

KAISER CHIEFS "souveniringles collection,2004-2012" cd, 2012

best of set from the English alt.rockers....
bought this on the strength of the only studio album i own called "employment"., but this best of set doesnt match that as i love that one....
these guys only ever had one UK #1 hit in "ruby", very good song but IMO they made better ones like the almost punk sounding track/single "i predict a riot",
all up though, a consistantly good record nonetheless and it gets a thumbs-up from me!
