Yeah. He's now touring with what Iggy Pop labels The Stooges' second incarnation, 'Iggy & The Stooges' (since Ron Asheton's passing away put an end to 'The Stooges'), dealing with Raw Power-era songs. In saying that, they're still playing the likes of Dog and Loose, as well as Iggy's Lust For Life and The Passenger.Originally Posted by Peachey
So the first "big" album of the year has been released, Vampire Weekend's "Contra". I wasn't a fan of their first album album at all, but there seems to be more to this one (from listening to the album on myspace.)
I noticed that Fyfe Dangerfield has an album out next week too, he's better known as the singer in the Guillemots.
Wasn't a fan of Vampire Weekend's first album either, Contra has changed my mind about them, good stuff.
Smashing Pumpkins album due in 2009, it's meant to be a double album apparantly. Without Jimmy Chamberlin. Corgan seems to be wrecking the legacy of the band, shame, they had some real classic albums.

I am liking the new one aswell, slightly more of an edge (?). In fairness its difficult to criticise the first one, it is well done. It's just hard to get into because it's so, for want of a better word, wussie
<insert witty remark>
The first one is just Paul Simon's Graceland played by a few guys that summer in the Hamptons and seem really unlikeable. They've toned that side of things down, but kept their quirk.
Im looking forward to Pumpkins album, although if Jimmy aint doing anything on it Im starting to have second thoughts, The last album was decent with the two working together. Fantastic concert in the RDS that night.
Also heard Linkin Park have a new one out this year.
English band Hadouken, they're pretty good. New song out atm so Id imagine a new album is on the way.
Eels - End Times
Hot Chip - One Life Stand
Four Tet - There Is Love In You
and Massive Attack - Heligoland
All due out over the next three weeks or so, and will hopefully help keep me going until Mylo finally gets his finger out!
more bass
Listened to the Eels one on Myspace, thought it was good. Acousticy.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Meat Loaf has in store for us in his new album! Should be out around April...
Really want to hear the Eels new one. Downloaded LostProphets new one, lyrics are ropey but there's some good tracks on it.

Nice description. Isn't it funny how when you don't like something you'll always find a way to denounce it? Sure couldn't we say that Daft Punk are just two French nerds who wear robot outfits and take samples from silly 70s disco? While that may be technically true, their music is actually fantastic. I don't see why their liking for robots (or if they summer in Saint Tropez) is relevant.
Anyway, I loved the first album and imagine I'll have similar feelings towards the second when I hear it.

Gorillaz 'Plastic Beach' is amazing. Some inspired collaborations on it, great stuff. Courteneers 'Falcon' is well worth a listen too.

The new Black Francis album (soundtrack to the The Golem) is mostly brilliant.
just got BRMC latest.
Need some more new music to listen to. Any newcomers on the scene worth checking out? I don't get NME anymore and don't listen to the radio so my exposure to new bands is slight.
Supergrass new album, working title "Release the Drones" due for the Summer. Described as "Psychedelic and quite mad in parts".
The Coral are currently working with John Leckie on an album, tentatively due for release during the Summer also.
