B&C's New Album Release Calendar

[nielsgov]

For like three songs.

 

[bono_212]

So much love for Contra from me.

 

[u2popmofo]

I like both of their albums.

 

[nielsgov]

That's not allowed.

 

[bono_212]

I kinda hate the first album

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

So much love for Contra from me.

I like that album, too. Still haven't heard the first one in full yet, just heard a few songs here and there from it. But I liked what I did hear.

May 7th, eh? Cool. Look forward to hearing what they come up with next.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hopefully it's way better than Contra.

Hopefully they've completely changed their sound and band members. Maybe the name is still negotiable too.

 

[cobl04]

I liked Contra but it was very light and fluffy. Not much substance there. I lump Vampire Weekend in with those innocuous indie bands who are good, but inexplicably overrated given their music.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Hopefully they've completely changed their sound and band members. Maybe the name is still negotiable too.

Iamiwhoami - bounty (June 3, 2013)

Man, I forgot all about that thing. All that mystery and pop intrigue. Did they/he/she have an album out already? If not, boy, I'd say they missed the interest window, because I'd forgotten about all about it just about forever ago.

Although I guess even if they did release something and the "mystery" was "revealed", I still forgot about it.

 

[bono_212]

...huh?


Yeah, kin was out last year. bounty is a compilation album.

 

[corianderstem]

Wasn't there a big tease before their initial release? Like there was some manufactured mystery about who was behind the artist? Like it was some other pop artist under another name or something? I remember a few blogs talking about it, and there were snippets of music being released. Am I crazy?

But yeah, obviously I lost interest and they just fell right off my radar. Heh.

(Edit: I refreshed my memory via Wikipedia, and am relieved to see I'm not crazy. One of the music blogs I used to follow was all over those clips.)

 

[bono_212]

It was a big art exhibit or something, that's all I know. Great music.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm excited to hear Bounty. I was too lazy to search for each of her 2010 singles individually, so I'm glad someone made a zip file of them.

 

[bono_212]

Decided to listen to ra ra riot... They're as meh as I remember

Oh yes, I remember that very well. ONTD had a lot of posts about it at the time. Some of the early speculation was that it was Christina Aguilera. Ha.

 

[corianderstem]

Yes! Okay, glad someone else remembered.

I think Popjustice had a lot about it too. I need to spend more time with those lovely folks again. I haven't visited their site in ages.

66 Most Anticipated Albums of 2013 - Metacritic
Oh a new Cloud Nothings' album will be hotttttt, except I'm not sure what to make of that description.

 

[djerdap]

I like that description. The noisier the better.

 

[bono_212]

It's like God created my polar opposite in you, Djerdap.
We seem to like the same things but for completely opposite reasons.

 

[cobl04]

It's like God created my polar opposite in you, Djerdap.
We seem to like the same things but for completely opposite reasons.

I think this is true for djerdap and every member of the CLICK!, not just you...

 

[djerdap]

Nah, I'm just a wannabe.

 

[IWasBored]

Like me and phananator with Springsteen. Although I doubt I like the same thing about attack on memory that either of you liked.

 

[u2popmofo]

Add The Thermals to the list, DB:

In other Thermals news, the band has finished work on a new LP, which they plan to release sometime this year. It was recorded with John Agnello (whose production credits include Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth). In a press release, the band described the upcoming album as " loud, fast, incredibly scary and undeniably catchy." They say it sounds like a "cross between" More Parts Per Million and The Body, The Blood, The Machine.

 

[Danny Boy]

Sir, yes sir.

 

[IWasBored]

Ah cool.

 

[Danny Boy]

I'm about to post the Friday update, so you fine people have an hour or so to respond if there are additions or changes.

It looks like Among the Leaves is being reissued on vinyl, which was why it appeared on the new release list, so I removed it.
