BrilliantDisguise Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 Wrecking Ball, Bruce's new album, is awesome. Could've used some Clarence though. I agree...I love Wrecking Ball! I'm glad Clarence made it on the 'Land of Hope and Dreams' track. The first time I heard the new version of the song it really hit me. Have you gotten to see Bruce on this tour? I saw him in April and it was fantastic! I couldn't get tickets for the 2nd leg though...yet.
TheLizard Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 ^ Just got that one, it's great! Also, got Kimbra's album (yeah I know it's been out forever, but it just got an American release). Solidly crafted pop music. Nothing special, but very good. And I've never been able to see Bruce live, but I might be able to in September depending on where life takes me.
blind-fitter Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 I'm really looking forward to the forthcoming release of my own band's album. That's right, my band FLIES ON YOU, debut album "Nothing To Write Home About", being released in the next couple of weeks. I'll be back with more release details, links to our website, promo vids, etc., as and when. Keep your eyes peeled. Following a band conflab, we have decided to delay the release until September, for various reasons; getting videos completed, website up and running, registering with the PRS, etc. and to avoid the dip in interest in recorded music which apparently occurs during the summer: you can't get reviews anywhere, cus all the journos are distracted by festivals, so I'm told. So, September it is, for the co-ordinated launch of FLIES ON YOU debut album, "Nothing To Write Home About"
blind-fitter Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 OK, my band FLIES ON YOU now have an official released date for our debut album "Nothing To Write Home About". Put it in your diaries: September 3rd 2012 To whet your appetites for the album, there are tracks you can listen to on Soundcloud:
Farin Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 That sounds exactly like something you would create, really nice How about uploading it to Last.fm too?
Levis Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 For ADDED CREDIBILITY, get off MySpace, and get on Bandcamp.
blind-fitter Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 The Bandcamp page is under construction. Although the album will be available to buy though "the usual suspects", we will promoting bandcamp as the place to purchase it. Apart fromanything else, we will be selling the album/tracks much cheaper through bandcamp than the other outlets allow.
Skuff Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Jukebox the Ghost's third album "Safe Travels" dropped on the 12th of June and I've been enjoying it since; a great slice of indie pop. However, the record is a bit of a departure from their previous efforts in a way. The outstanding songwriting from Ben Thornewill and Tommy Siegel is still there , but the record seems more poppy and slightly overproduced in comparison to their first two, "Let Live and Let Ghosts" and "Everything Under the Sun." Some of the quirk is gone, but not completely. Still a great record and worth picking up. Edited June 22, 2012 by Guest
Rayzor Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Everyone made such a big deal about the Jack White album I decided to purchase it with my limited funds. A few tracks are download-worthy, but otherwise it's average. Rating: meh
TheLizard Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Rayzor, I am shocked and appalled. Everything Jack White does is objectively awesome.

Carl Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 I'm afraid I'm one of those people who will be forever saying, "Jack White's solo stuff is pretty good, but he was much better with The White Stripes."
Rayzor Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I'll admit I was mostly trying to get a rise out of the kids here, but I absolutely agree Jack was better with the Stripes.
BrilliantDisguise Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 *NEW* Aerosmith 'Legendary Child' video:
TheLizard Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Finally listened to the new Best Coast album. A substantial improvement on their (already brilliant) debut. One of the few must-haves of the year so far. Go listen.
TheLizard Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 The new Sigur Ros album, Valtari, is beautiful. As you would expect. Much more of a concentration on ambient soundscapes, with only the occasional explosion into joyful, glorious noise. This is the album that Brian Eno and Phil Spector might make together if Phil Spector wasn't a homicidal maniac.
Farin Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah, it's much more ambient than their last few records... still nice. I think Amanda Palmer's new album (which was completely financed by a Kickstarter campaign) should be released soon, shouldn't it?
pinkstones Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 The new Matisyahu album is AMAZING. OMG. So good.
RockyRaccoon Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Posted September 12, 2012 This just in: the new album from The Avett Brothers is absolutely phenomenal and everyone ever in the world should get it.
TheLizard Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 Yes. But get the new Bob Dylan first.
