*/action : Lea removes boasting/chuffed as a button face and puts on serious music face in preparation for the music post she's been waiting to do since the creation of this blog. Which wasn't that long ago tbh, but hey.*

The world of musical leaks has been a bit boring lately, with late of the pier (do they still do the lowercase thing?) only recently spicing up the world of illegal downloading in the last week with the is it/isn't it debate on what appears to be Fantasy Black Channel.

However, all ye musical pirates (yarrgh!) - fear ye not, Mount's long awaited "Nights Out" (Currently due for release in September 08) has just filtered onto the vast seas of the internet. Stupid ocean metaphors aside - i'm very excited.

As i've previously mentioned (in my first post, ever - was it that long ago? - see HERE), 'On Dancefloors' holds the oh-so appropriate title of this blog, and is one of Josephs finest creations. A story of "disappointment on dancefloors", i'm sure you can imagine my utter joy when seeing it on the tracklisting... i reluctantly post it on here as it's been a 'closely guarded secret' since 2006, (may i emphasise that these are NOT my own words! haha) however, I think it's only fair that at least ONE manifestation of On Dancefloors gets the success it deserves, right? ;)

I think Nights Out will surprise the most cynically-minded of you, with it appearing to be slightly more accessible than Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe).

Metronomy haven't completely disowned Pip Paine (PT£5YO), with opener 'Nights Intro' bridging the gap perfectly.
Doing what they do second-best to making "calculator-rock-punk-funk-electro-blimpoid-whatever music"(See NME.com), they've gone and done what sounds like a complete re-hash of 'Hear to Wear,' resulting in 'The End of You Too'.

It's also quite a pleasant surprise to hear some vocals - tracks included under this 'type' are 'Radio Ladio' and 'Heartbreaker', which have also been firm live favourites since early 07.

I'm fully aware that it's time to stop my gushing.

Joseph, Gabriel, Oscar, you bloody clever geeks, nobody pushes those lights quite so well.

All the best, and to you lot - for fucks sake, BUY THE ALBUMS.

Here are some interesting Nme.com quotes for your entertainment:

"The reality that Metronomy aren't as big as Daft Punk seems like a barking concept, because Metronomy piss all over Daft Punk and their French electro-isms. Why? Because they're more interesting. They're better. And they swear."

"[Whether] bashing their T-shirts’ globe lights in unison like out-of-space gorillas hunting for mates they may look odd, but they’ve practised. Hard."

"The trio’s calculator-rock-punk-funk-electro-blimpoid-whatever music is meant to make people dance, as long as it’s on the floor in front of them. And most of the gum-chewing art-school kids here abide by those unwritten rules, twitching and shoulder-jabbing robot-style in time to the wicky-wah-wah beats’n’bleeps."

Emma Edmondson, WOW.
