Wyld Card 5 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've heard a few tracks from the Foo's new album. Dave Grohl said on Fuse that while recording the album with producer Butch Vig (who also produced Nevermind) that he kept having deja vu experiences from the last time they worked together and that they were trying to make a similar sounding record, which can be heard on certain tracks by compare and contrast to those (B-side tracks) on Nevermind.

Elizabeth_I 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'd say that the new Foo Fighter's album is great! Thank you so much for sharing it! Link to post Share on other sites
Viaene 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith has revealed that the group will release their as-yet-unnamed album in the last week of August this year. Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'll be excited when I hear it, if it's good. Until then, I'm not sure how pumped I can be about a once again Frusciante-less Chili Peppers. Link to post Share on other sites
Viaene 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I've heard good things about Josh, so I'm staying optimistic Chad Smith also said that josh plays keyboard too, I wonder how that'll blend into their classic drum-guitar-bass-voice combo. Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I've decided I need to post in this thread more. My recent promotion to head music director of WVFI has just verified my (probably egotistical) concept that I have my thumb on the pulse of modern music. So here's a sampling of good stuff that was released this year that hasn't been mentioned yet: Forces of the Unseen - Cloud Cult Broken Mirrors - Rise Against War In Heaven - The Raveonettes Heaven's Gonna Happen Now - The Pains of Being Pure At Heart Waiting For My Chance To Come - Noah and the Whale Postcards from 1952 - Explosions In The Sky How To Be A Werewolf - Mogwai Is It Done - J. Mascis June Hymn - The Decemberists Right Before My Eyes - Cage The Elephant Haile Selassie - Bright Eyes Rolling In The Deep - Adele More to come! Link to post Share on other sites

RockyRaccoon 0 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Listened to the new Manchester Orchestra album "Simple Math" today. Add that to my list of favorites from this year. Seems like Manchester Orchestra finally found their sound. Link to post Share on other sites

RockyRaccoon 0 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Just found my new favorite album of 2011 so far. "All At Once"- The Airborne Toxic Event This album blew me away. It really did. So incredible. "The Kids Are Ready To Die"- The Airborne Toxic Event Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I enjoyed that. Wouldn't have sounded too out of place on Springsteen's Nebraska album. Link to post Share on other sites
RockyRaccoon 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yea, I can see that. It's a great album, lots of variety. Some songs they sound like Arcade Fire, some Green Day, some Modest Mouse and some My Morning Jacket. Every track on that album is awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

TheLizard 1 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Euphoria, Take My Hand - Glasvegas Euphoric ///Heartbreak\\\ (that's actually how the album is spelled) is okay, but doesn't come near the brilliance of their first album. Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Fitz and the Tantrums - any thoughts? I like this one: Link to post Share on other sites

RockyRaccoon 0 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Just got the new Danger Mouse/Daniele Luppi album (with special guests Jack White and Norah Jones). Only listened to the first half so far but it is AWESOME. Who would've thought the combination of Danger Mouse and an Italian composer would make such an excellent combination?

TheLizard 1 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 The Plains/Bitter Dancer - Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes The Shrine/An Argument - Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues is the best album of 2011 so far by a long shot. Absolutely beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites

pinkstones 0 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 The new Beastie Boys album is fan-freakin'-tastic. I'm not a fan of rap music, but for some reason, I love love love their work. I hope that MCA (Adam Yauch) fully recovers from cancer so that they get back on the road, because that's one group I've never seen live that I'd really love to. Link to post Share on other sites

But I didn't exactly think it was anything special. I do LOVE the Beastie Boys though. But this album sounded like all their others. Which is not necessarily a bad thing haha. I do love "Make Some Noise" though. Link to post Share on other sites
