got the new Catpower covers cd, "Jukebox", not really thrilled with it, picked up the new Magnetic fields, still have to listen to it, hope it's good.
i heard it wasn't up to scratch too. it's her second covers disk no? i've seen her twice with the better half and am going next thursday to see her again. she's been very good live those two times, hopefully banishing performance demons once and for all!Quote:

Failing that, the new Metallica and Motley Crue albums will keep me happy.
at this stage it might as well be called "Smile" by the beach boys!Quote:

"Uncut" Magazines review of the new Supergrass album.
Can it really be nearly fifteen years since Supergrass hitched a ride to the Britpop party? With all their peers, save a depleted Blur and Oasis, now safely in the rear mirror, five top ten albums in the trunk and a new generation of admirers – most notably The Arctic Monkeys – urging them on, they could be forgiven for cruising nostalgically towards middle-age.
But beneath that easy-going exterior lurks a fearsome inner drive. When bassist Mick Quinn sleepwalked through a first floor window and sustained serious injuries last September, most bands would have taken it as an excuse for a year off. Instead, Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey embarked on a club tour as White Stripes spoof The Diamond Hoo Haa Men, while Quinn made the kind of miraculous recovery normally reserved for David Banner.
Such strength of purpose reverberates through Diamond Hoo Ha. Perhaps it’s the thrill of recording at the legendary Hansa studios in Berlin (once home to David Bowie and Japan) which led them to the “Heroes”-esque ambience of “Rebel In You” or the swirling Krautrock rumble of “Rough Knuckles”. All this mesmeric swagger is, however, still matched by a rapier lyrical guile.
JJ Cale-esque lament “Ghost In You” sees Gaz bemoaning the loss of a friend to the party set, seething: “There’s always a circus in town/ Vultures, peacocks and hounds” while “Whisky & Green Tea” sees them encountering Chinese dragons, middle-aged schoolgirls and “being chased by William Burroughs” amidst runaway drums and squealing sax. Not quite “We keep our teeth nice and clean”, then.
More clues to the demons which forced Danny Goffey to “wander off” during sessions for 2005’s brooding Road To Rouen appear on “When I Needed You” .“In the middle of a shady bar/Broken bottles flying through the air/That’s when I needed you” sighs Gaz, music as ever, a salve for their disrupted friendship.
Heavy stuff. But apply megawatt tunes and career-best performances and you’ve got an album to top even 2002’s criminally neglected Life On Other Planets. Twenty-four carat stuff, guaranteed.

Have to say the new Nick Cave is disappointing.
Just read the review of Portisheads new album "Third" - it gets 5 stars in this months Uncut...am really looking forward to this, there's also a piece about Jason Pierce & Spiritualized's new album - am looking forward to these too, Ladies & Gentlemen We're Floating in Space is probably one of the best albums I own
Bought the new albums from The Young Knives and We Are Scientists and am very happy with my purchases.
Boy Kill Boy is next
Billy Braggs new album is a major disappointment. I've only been able to bring myself to listen to it once all the way through. Shame. For someone with his back catalogue it's a big let down. (Mind you his efforts since Don't Try This at Home have all been fairly patchy.)
anybody buy the Raconteurs album yet? Just got it this afternoon....need to listen to it a few times before I pass judgement!!!
As an avid illegal downloader I have to say I'm disgusted by people awaiting new cd's from U2 and Metallica, 2 of the most corporate money grabbing bands in the world. I must download their new albums, burn them onto cd, give them to my dog to eat, clean up his excrement and post them back to the bands with a compliment slip which says "my dog thinks your new album is shiiite".
Bought the Teenagers album today. Brillant stuff I recommend to thee.
Have to say Im really liking Moby's single 'Alice', just heard it today as with Portishead's new single 'Machine Gun'. Moby's album is getting some good reviews too, possible purchase maybe. REM 'Accelerate' getting some good reports as well. Portishead's 'Machine Gun' sounds on the first few listens, Nine Inch Nails mets New Order. Very different but excellent stuff.
Half Man Half Biscuits 11th album entitled CSI:Ambleside is out on Monday 28th April.Quote:

Apparently as good as anything they've ever released. We'll see.
Why are you disgusted what people do with their own money. They are not spending your money after all. How are U2 any more money grabbing than any other band. They simply charge the going rate for their gigs and their albums.Quote:

Love Ladies and Gentlemen by spiritualised alrite but follow up was a bit lacklustre.
Amy Winehouse third album....
picked up "Saturnalia" by the Gutter twins, the collaboration between the Afghan Whigs' Greg Dulli and Screaming Tree's Mark Lanegan, like it alot, but the Afghan Whigs are one of my all time favourite bands, so I was gonna like it anyhow.
Huh???Quote:

Yeah, excellent offering. In my opinion there's lots of fantastic albums so far this year though - the awards could be a violent affair as Vampire Weekend, Cut Copy, The LK, and Midfield General go hard at it to win the coveted Foot statuette.Quote:

Still a few decent tunes on the new one but nothing to match classics like 'Body Language', 'In White Rooms' or 'Mandarine Girl', unfortunately.
Oh yeah, Portishead's new album, which has featured in all the Albums You're Looking Forward To Threads from 1998 to 2008, is released today!! :) Pitchfork have awarded it an eye-opening 8.8, so the pent-up excitement looks as though it's set to spawn a wonderful, ejaculatory 'woohoo, this is fcuking brilliant'. Will probably buy it tomorrow to see if it does.
Just saw on wikipedia that Common has a new album due in November, called The Believer. After Finding Forver, colour me interested
Have this a month now and it is a towering giant of a record.Quote:

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Primal Scream's new album coming soon. The single 'Cant Go Back' is a belter. Hope it's better than their last one which was pretty bad. On another scale altogether, Slipknot's new one coming up later this summer too... dont mind some of their stuff...
Kings of Leon - Only by the Night - planned release date 23.09.08
Looking forward to this............
(From Wikipedia)
In early 2008, frontman Caleb Followil confirmed to UK magazine NME that the band is working on tracks for the fourth album. In an interview Jared (bass) said the next album will "rock harder", and that they are "ready to tackle their southern roots...again." Recording began in February 08, when the band completed its 2007 tour.
They are currently finishing their recording sessions in Nashville, Tennessee and the album is scheduled to be released on 23rd September 2008.
In the June 2008 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, Caleb discussed how he believes his pain medication (which he took after a fistfight with brother Nathan) inspired him to write some of the "most beautiful" songs, so much that he's claimed he is "proud track-by-track."
The band have already debuted two new songs entitled "Crawl" and "Manhattan", both of which can be found on Youtube. Other titles to emerge include "Closer" and "Sex on Fire"
On June 23rd, NME.com added on their website confimed details about the 4th album. "Kings of Leon have revealed the details of their highly anticipated forthcoming album. 'Only by the Night' - the band's fourth studio album - is due out on September 23. The Followill clan have been working on the follow-up to 2007's 'Because of the Times' in Nashville's Blackbird Studios." The album was produced by Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King.
Sweet. That was quick! Can't wait!Quote:

Their first drummer might have been the 'poorest' technically, but he suited their sound to a tee, and he features on by far their best output, imo.
They've replaced Ringo's boy with Robbie William's tour drummer, can't think of his name but he was also the drummer in the La's
Christ -what odds on the lad from McFly thereafter ...and yer man from the Eurovision house-band who used be in a Satanic metal band after that again?
The new bloke will be their 4th drummer.Quote:

Judging by some of the song titles I think you could be right :)Quote:
