I heard a new Friedberger track on the radio on Friday, it was awesome.

It sucks that no one has a reason to wait for albums anymore. Oh well, I'll sleep OK.

 

[Imperor]

I figure Matador is gonna end up shipping that thing any second now, so I'll just lay off until it arrives. Fucking PUMPED.

 

[cobl04]

Baths has a new album out, 8.6 and BNM'd. Heard one track, Miasma Sky, and really liked it. Good minimal electro. Will check out the album.

 

[Danny Boy]

Two BNM's in a row from Pitchfork Advance.

Merge, woops.

In terms of one-two punches on albums, how fucking spectacular is Hallelujah and Love Letter from Nick Cave's No More Shall We Part?

 

[djerdap]

Or sat on him. Same thing.

Are you implying that our beautiful singer has weight problems?

It was my favorite Nick Cave album until Push the Sky Away came along. Cave must be one of the most versatile artists in recent memory. None of the stylistic turns sound forced, either, which is more than you can say for a lot of other musical "chameleons."

Back to Black was much better than I expected, but still not worth the hype IMO

Me? No, of course not.

Spoiler

 

[bono_212]

I don't remember Camera Obscura sounding quite so Cocteau, but maybe it's just been too long since last I listened to them.

Liking this album so far. Unfortunately, I started it, thinking my lunch meeting was at 12, but it's at 11:30, so I won't be able to finish it right now

For reals.



Anyways, was great. So pretty, so chilled, so much fun. I'm really liking it a lot. Second to last track was probably my favorite.

Crap. I just preordered it on Amazon a few nights ago, should have got it from Merge.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

My favorite song ever is "A Lover's Concerto" by The Toys.

Me too. On first listen, I might even say it's their overall most consistent album to date. They usually have a fair share of filler in their albums, but I've liked pretty much every song. No single as "big" as something like French Navy, but it's all better as a whole.

 

[bono_212]

I didn't want to be the one to say something like that, but of the two I've heard, I find it fairly superior in consistency to the last album.

But no, there wasn't a Sweetest Thing on this album.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The 2!

Blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl!!!!

 

[lazarus]

Elvis Costello homage!


(...or had E.C. been paying future homage for years??)

 

[BoMac]

Nine Inch Nails announce new album via Twitter.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Too bad they haven't done anything memorable in a long time.

The first two albums are classics, though.

[Jive Turkey]

That article could've been summed up with the dad classic "rap music? more like crap music"

"Pink is one of the few contemporary artists worth listening to"

Too wrong; didn't read
