 Eric Bachman - To The Races
 Headlights - Kill Them With Kindness
 Jason Molina - Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go
 Lambchop - Damaged
 Mountain Goats - Get Lonely
 My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me The Workhorse

 Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Broom

Primal Scream "Riot City Blues"
 -not their best by any means, but there are some quality rockers on the record.

Radio Birdman - Zeno Beach
 
  the first album of all-new material from Australia's Radio Birdman since their breakup over 25 years ago.

M. Ward's new album Post-War is out today. I really liked Transistor Radio, though after about a month or two of owning it, it disappeared into the stacks. I'll probably get it, along with the Thermals.

Post by: kcjones119 on August 23, 2006, 07:41:00 am
Not an album, but the new Burn to Shine DVD: Portland came out Tuesday.  If you're not familiar with the series, bands from a certain city play in a house that is set to be destroyed/burned.  This one has the above-mentioned Thermals, Sleater Kinney, The Decemberists, The Shins, The Gossip, Quasi and more.  The DC and Chicago ones are worth a spin too.
Title: Re: Albums Out Today
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on August 23, 2006, 09:27:00 am
M Ward's album came out as well. Anybody get it and have comments?
Title: Re: Albums Out Today
Post by: igotmoxie on August 24, 2006, 08:51:00 am
I didn't even realize M. Ward had a new record coming out.
 
 some superfan i turned out to be.
 
 seriously tho, he's one of me favorites.
Title: Re: Albums Out Today
Post by: sonickteam2 on August 24, 2006, 09:42:00 am
i bought Early Day Miners and My Brightest Diamond last night. MBD is good on first listen, i'll spin the miners disc this morning.
Title: Re: Albums Out Today
Post by: bellenseb on August 24, 2006, 09:50:00 am
I think M Ward came out only on vinyl on Tuesday, and the CD is next week for some reason.
 My haul this week:
 
 Pajo
 Eric Bachmann
 Chad Van Gaalen
 Mountain Goats
 What Make Milwakuee Famous
 
 Banner week!
Title: Re: Albums Out Today
Post by: Cock Van Der Palm on August 25, 2006, 10:24:00 am
Rock N Roll Soldiers - Too Many Musicians Too Kill
 came out.  It is really good.
Title: Re: Albums Out Today

I sometimes worry that newer, hifi Mountain Goats borders on Dashboard Confessional territory, but damned if I can't resist it.

It's pretty frickin' awesome.  Like a giant '70s stew topped with a heaping dollop of noise.
 
 I think it's a great improvement over Blue Cathedral.

Amazon is selling the M. Ward disc.
 I have the DPT album. I played it a couple times and it's already fading. If you liked the Libertines, this will be appealing.
 
 Iron Maiden's new album came out yesterday. Was hoping to read some reviews before picking it up, but it's only 12 bucks at Borders so what the hell.
Title: Re: Albums Out Today
Post by: Reod Dai on September 07, 2006, 03:37:00 pm
The M. Ward is definitely out, my local record shop has quite a few copies of it.
 
 The new Blind Guardian came out on Tuesday.  Hell, yes.

Jason Molina is not one to settle. Throughout his musical career of 12 plus years under his given name, Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co., he has lived in 9 different locations and has had a dozen different backing bands on record in as many different recording environments.
 
 Fading Trails represents 3 of these incarnations and 4 of these environments. Composed of recording sessions Molina and company did with Steve Albini at his Electric Audio Studio, David Lowery at his Sound of Music Studio, and at the famous Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, Fading Trails also features songs from the home recorded Shohola sessions. The essence of these recordings were extracted to create one cohesive being and thus defining what Magnolia Electric Co. truly is. Something that is hard to define. One head, multiple bodies...the opposite of a hydra head.

BECK's THE INFORMATION DENIED ENTRY ON UK CHARTS
 
 Beck's The Information was released Monday, October 2 in the UK (and was released yesterday in the U.S.).
 
 Come next week, no matter how high its first week sales, The Information will not be charting in the UK due to a bizarre ruling by the UK's Official Chart Company.
 
 According to the OCC, The Information's packaging innovations--which have drawn early raves such as "Bonus points for the accompanying DVD and stickers that let CD buyers create their own customized covers" (WIRED)--render the record ineligible to chart in the UK.
 
 Ironically, the DVD of homemade videos for every song on The Information and the four random sticker sets designed by artists handpicked by Beck have been construed by the OCC as an "unfair advantage"--rather than what they actually are: unique and forward-thinking additional facets that expand the album experience beyond the purchase of a plastic disc.
 
 Beck is currently on tour in the U.S. through late October.

While that album SHOULD be right up my alley, what I've heard of it was pretty lame.

New today  
 
 IV Thieves - If We Can't Escape My Pretty CD
 IV Thieves - If We Can't Escape My Pretty CD     If We Can't Escape My Pretty is the startling debut by the gang that was originally spearheaded by vocalist extraordinaire, Nic Armstrong (then billed as Nic Armstrong & The Thieves). The young band hit the road where they developed quickly into a democracy of four unusually talented songwriters and singers, hence the name change to IV THIEVES. Whereas the first album conjured the halcyon days of British blues and pop in the 60s, this new platter zooms toward the future in an explosion of rabble-rousing performances, outrageously versatile vocalizing and bulletproof songwriting.
 
 WOO HOO

There's a reissue of Tim Hardin's awesome 1968 live album out today. One of the best folkies ever, recently revived in hipster circles by Okkervil River ("Black Sheep Boy"). Melody had a copy, at least.

Was very happy to see on Pitchfork that Clinic's new album is out, and that it's a return to their more rocking sound. No indication of when it's released in the US, so I ordered the import from CDWow. Looking forward to that.

I have a Paste subscription that I got for free...decent writing, nothing spectacular...but doesn't the title of the magazine make you cringe?

Well I'm buying the IV Thieves based on being wowed by the new material when they played with the Pretenders, it would be a bit silly not to based on a review.  Even if the album does disappoint that wont stopping me from going to see them live again.  
 
 I pulled download four tracks off of eMusic to preview the album and will concur that it sounds a bit Oasisesque. However I rarely listen to them and found  based on a couple listens to the tracks them to be more compelling than what I've heard from Oasis.  I wonder what impact losing the groups original drummer had on the overall sound, based on what Nic told me he was asked to leave the group and is now off wandering being self destructive there.

I find that Paste is more critical then most in its reviews, most albums get three stars reviews and below.  Which is good because it makes want to read  the four star reviews as potential things worth looking into further.  I found out about Van Hunt that way...
 
 And if they came the IV Thieves a 1.5 I can only imagine how the Driveblind record will be received, I suspect several pitchforks will be sharpened over that one.  It wont me make enjoy the band less, just might me less likely to cheerlead for them.

Do you think this Tapes show is going to sell out? They had such a loud buzz going this summer, but I've not heard much about them lately. I really want to go to this show, but I'm also looking forward to a fun Halloween night with the kid, so it might be a last-minute decision to go.

Yeah, it does seem the buzz has died down quite a bit. I kind of doubt it will sell out. I'm actually swinging by the Black cat tonight before the Wilco show so I'll try to find out what ticket sales are looking like.
 
 They're really good live. I recommend checking em out, as well as Annuals.

i'm with you here.  
 
 i've been a paste subscriber for the last 2 years and i love it.  i picked it up when wilco was on the cover, i believe, and haven't put it down since.  i think the writing, in most issues, is decent to really good, and the mix CD in every issue usually includes fantastic music.  plus, the review system, as mentioned, is better than 98% of pop culture magaazines.  I think i've seen like maybe 3 4 star reviews since i've been reading.
Title: Re: Albums Out Today
Post by: bellenseb on December 06, 2006, 12:19:00 pm
On the other hand, virtually every record in the new issue gets three stars. Not a very good way to differentiate...
Title: Re: Albums Out Today
Post by: kosmo vinyl on December 06, 2006, 12:24:00 pm
yeah i noticed that... i suspect it has to do with the fact that fewer new albums get released towards the end of the year and whats left over isn't exactly the cream of the crop.

Hmmmmm.  You're right.  Interesting.  Apparently the record store from which I receive weekly e-mails must have imported some copies to sell.  That explains why it's so expensive...  They got the title slightly wrong, too (which I copied and pasted).  It's Those the Brokes.  Anyway, it's too bad I don't live near there anymore, or I'd be scambling to get a copy before they sold them all.
 
 Perhaps I'll import one myself, then.  It's been out in the UK for almost a month, something of which I wasn't aware.

the Mark Kozelek live CD has some pretty wonderful songs on there. It's funny, I lost interest in the Red House Painters with "Old Ramon", but the live acoustic stuff is great.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Veranda">[/b]
This is a very, very good remastered version of the origninal with a couple extra songs. The original itself is great. There are actually 2 original versions. One with a blue cover and one with a green. I got the green one from the drummer only to find out later it's the much earlier and rarer version. Contains a song they had to remove due to copyright issues, solely for title name. In any event, I highly recommend this release.
 
 Christine, they would do very well with the sets that you play.      ;)

Hammock also gets a super high recommendation from me. Instrumental, electronic, kind of ambient yet full of musical landscapes. Very good musicians. In fact, in the past, they had been commissioned by NASA to create music to have beamed up to the astronauts while in space.
 
 If you haven't heard their first release, Kenotic, that too is superb.
 
 If any of you have bothered to listen to my radio show, you may very well have heard both of these bands in one edition or another.
