RockyRaccoon Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 I feel like it's an appropriate time to start this thread. So it's 2011. What's everyone looking forward to musically? What's on it's way out? What have you discovered this year?
edna Posted January 7, 2011 Report 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...
Viaene Posted January 7, 2011 Report 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!
Batman Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Starf*cker is supposed to have an album out soon.
Viaene Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Chad Smith: "Chili Peppers album in June, but there will be alot of Chili Peppers once the album comes out"
RockyRaccoon Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 Passion Pit is due to release an album this spring
Levis Posted February 19, 2011 Report 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.
TheLizard Posted February 19, 2011 Report 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 Posted February 19, 2011 Report 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...
RockyRaccoon Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report 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
Farin Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 I heard the new The Strokes song today on the radio without realising that it's their new one
RockyRaccoon Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Posted February 19, 2011 New album is due out in late March. I'm very excited.

Viaene Posted March 15, 2011 Report 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 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 I'm surprised there's no Zeppelin on there. They play Zeppelin live sometimes too.
Farin Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 the new Strokes album is out now, right? it didn't get very good reviews though...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report 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.
miamisammy29 Posted March 15, 2011 Report 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.
Carl Posted March 24, 2011 Report 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. Photograph by Santana and Chris Daughtry
Viaene Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Listen to the new Foo Fighter's album here: Wasting Light :rock: :guitar:
RockyRaccoon Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 Listen to the new Foo Fighter's album here: Wasting Light :rock: :guitar: Loved it
TheLizard Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 It's good. It's really good. I'm excited for the Foos documentary that's supposed to come out later this year.
