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.
Happy to say that Neon Neon's Stainless Style is easily the best album so far of 2008 and will take some beating at the year end awards
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.
More on topic, I was eagerly awaiting German minimal duo Booka Shade's new album to see if they could come close to matching the outstandingly brilliant 2006 release Movements. They most certainly haven't, but that may be as much to do with how good Movements is. 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.
Commendations and recommendations go out to
Bad Losers on Yahoo Chess
Took Problem Chimp to the Ideal Home Show
National sh|te Day ...which boasts the line
"there's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millet"
and finally Petty Sessions
the lyrics of which must be sung to the tune of the Hokey-Cokey
"I stick my big nose in
when I go out
screened off car park, what's it all about?
I like an altercation with a member of staff
That was ten pound note
I ring up dial-a-pizza
I ring up dial-a-pizza
I ring up dial-a-pizza
and say that's not how I would spell Hawaiian"
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.

They're just trying to be Spinal Tap.
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?
I really want it to be a mind blowing classic by Oasis. But im guessing its another meat and potatoes pub rock album.
