Quotepicked 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.
Have this a month now and it is a towering giant of a record.

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.

Thought there was five in Oasis?
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Drummer (Ringo's son) was sacked in the last few monthsThought there was five in Oasis?
Ha? I saw him playing with The Who a year ago. I'd no idea he was in Oasis as well. Didn't think they'd changed drummers sine their 2nd album or thereabouts
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
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.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
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
You show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser - Vince Lombardi
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 wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
The new bloke will be their 4th drummer.
By Spinal Tap logic - this guy could self-combust on stage.

I really want it to be a mind blowing classic by Oasis. But im guessing its another meat and potatoes pub rock album.

Judging by some of the song titles I think you could be right
Shouldn't be expecting too much at this stage but sentimentality takes over with Oasis.
