A-Z of bands (from the 21st centrury ) to give a go
So the answer to the F word question is Field Music - the other best band of the 21sy Century BUT! Its not them here today because F is for Futureheads.
Back at the start of the century, musically I was only listening to the big hitters like Radiohead, Portishead, Bjork and stuff. For a whole host of reasons I wanted to get a bit more into music. I kept getting recommendations bur Razor light, Franz Ferdinand, Coldplay and the like weren't doing it. Snow patrol and the Strokes too proved to be dead ends and I was at the point where I thought - that's it, I've reached Don McLean's day the music died.
Then out of nowhere, or rather the radio, I heard The Futureheads cover of Hounds of Love. Well to call it a cover is inaccurate as its a re-imagining of the whole song. Its a real in the car, windows open volume at 10 type song. From their I gravitated to their first album, a real XTC like kick in the teeth album. It made me see there was great music around but as ever you have to go look for it, not wait for it to drop in your lap. So thanks to these guys my music collection is now about 4000 albums bigger than is was when we partied like it was 1999, because it was.
PS The original drummer in the Futureheads went onto form Field Music so it all links in really

So to be honest you didn't go out and look for it. Rather it dropped into your lap from the radio.

Yes but I was listening to a local independent radio station in the north east via the internet that had been recommended by a music blogger - so that took a bit of searching...

You must have been exhausted. But well done anyway.
