edna 6 Report post Posted January 7, 2011 This year? Well, yesterday, while listening to music on Spotify, I discovered my husband was right, The Human League doesn't suck as much as I thought I'm still waiting for Amy Winehouse to react... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viaene 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2011 I'm mainly looking forward to the line ups of the summer festivals. There's one each weekend during July-August and I'm hoping to attend some for kickass live music! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Levis 6 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Srsly, not even here? I don't even like Radiohead and I couldn't escape the news. Curse you Twitter. RH are just out to steal ArFi's thunder obvs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 I did the pre-order digital thing. Apparently the whole "pay what you want" In Rainbows deal was not a viable business model. Either there hasn't been much worth getting in the first 6 or so weeks of this year or I just haven't been keeping up because I only have 4 albums from this year and I just got them.

Farin 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 "ArFi"? really? and of course I heard about it, but there aren't that many Radiohead fans here anyway (I'm not such a big one either), so I didn't even think to make a post here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyRaccoon 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 I got "King Of Limbs" today and loved it. Sounded like "Kid A" and "In Rainbows" had a baby. Other notable albums of this year so far: "Barton Hollow"- The Civil Wars "Mine Is Yours"- Cold War Kids "Mission Bell"- Amos Lee "Ritual"- White Lies "The King Is Dead"- The Decemberists "Showroom Of Compassion"- Cake "Thank You Happy Birthday"- Cage The Elephant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viaene 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 In addition to an upcoming documentary and a new studio album of all original material on the way, it seems like the Foo Fighters have something else in store: a full-length vinyl of cover songs. The record, which is to be called Medium Rare, will feature the Foo Fighter’s renditions of songs from groups like Cream, Pink Floyd, and the Ramones. The album will be released on April 16th as a limited-edition vinyl for Record Store Day, an event that celebrates independent record stores. The tracks for the upcoming release will be as follows: 01. Band On The Run (Paul McCartney & Wings) 02. I Feel Free (Cream) 03. Life of Illusion (Joe Walsh) 04. Young Man Blues (Mose Allison) 05. Bad Reputation (Thin Lizzy) 06. Darling Nikki (Prince) 07. Down In The Park (Gary Numan) 08. Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty) 09. Danny Says (Ramones) 10. Have A Cigar (Pink Floyd) 11. Never Talking To You Again (Hüsker Dü) 12. Gas Chamber (Angry Samoans) 13. This Will Be Our Year (The Zombies) While it may be the first time you ever hear the Foo Fighters play some of these songs, the band has been known to play a few of them live in the past.

RockyRaccoon 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Comes out next Tuesday. At least in the US. I'm hoping it's good. I thought the single from it was really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 The new REM album is pretty cool. However, it doesn't have any of those tunes with the wicked guitar riff that grabs you right from the start... you know, like "Driver 8", "Texarkana", "Gardening At Night", "So. Central Rain", "What's The Frequency, Kenne?" "Mine Smell like Honey" is probably the closest. I really like that one. Good album. 8 out of 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 Looks like Santana has a covers album out, which I'm not sure the world needs right now. Somewhere, Mutt Lange is loving the fact that no one can come close to the awesomeness he created with Def Leppard on Photograph.
