Mike Ness says another solo album likely, perhaps less of a country direction and perhaps "more in a Bob Dylan direction.  Who knows.  As long as it's better than the last one."  Everybody was afraid to ask him to clarify.
 
 And surprisingly, Ness said that "Sex Love and Rock and Roll" is not the last Social D album.  There were songs that weren't finished for the last album and they wrote while on tour over the last year.  Don't hold your breath for the next one though - what's the average between SxDx albums, 5-6 years?

New album from Richard Ashcroft should be be great. The songs I've got so far are great.

Mike Ness and Bob Dylan in the same sentence? That's very fun.

Joey Burns Talks New Calexico Album
 
 Jonah Flicker and Amy Phillips report:
 Ennio Morricone's fantasy house band, Calexico, have some surprises in store for their fans when the follow-up to 2003's Feast of Wire comes out this spring. Due April 11 on Quarterstick, their longtime label, Garden Ruin seeks to cement Calexico's reputation as more than just "that indie rock band with Mariachi horns".
 
 "I guess it kind of sounds different from previous records," frontman Joey Burns told Pitchfork earlier this week. "The Southwestern element is downplayed more on this release. It's focusing more on the songs themselves. There's no instrumentals on this record."
 
 Burns said that Calexico's desire to branch out was inspired by working with Iron & Wine and Neko Case (the band appears on her forthcoming album, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood), as well as touring with Wilco. "It's helped us reconnect to the music scene in the States more, and I can see where in the past our music and our style has maybe been hard for people to identity with here, especially outside of the Western states. So having gotten to tour with Wilco and Iron & Wine, and playing festivals like Bonnaroo, has helped us play to bigger audiences and [ask], â??What is about us that makes us different?' and 'What else do we have to offer that hasn't been highlighted before?'" "Listening to bands like Iron & Wine and Sufjan Stevens, digging into this tradition of singer/songwriters from the States, has had a big influence," Burns said. "I wanted to put down the nylon string guitar and pick up the steel string guitar, which may sound like a small factor, but for me, what you gravitate towards as far as what you're going to write songs on really does have an influence as far as where the songs are going to go."
 
 
 The lyrics on Garden Ruin have more of a liberal political bent than the usual Calexico fare. "Touring a lot in Europe has presented a lot of questions to the band," Burns explained. "How do you feel about your government? Your country's choice for president? What's going on outside the international boundary lines? Living close to the border of Mexico, being born in Montreal, Canada-- these things kind of make you think outside of the TV box and what's being said and what's being focused on. So I think all things have an influence at some point on your life and eventually it kind of settles into your writing and your experiences as you get older, travel about, do music."
 
 Garden Ruin tracklist:
 
 01 Cruel
 02 Yours and Mine
 03 Bisbee Blue
 04 Panic Open String
 05 Letter to Bowie Knife Version 2
 06 Roka
 07 Lucky Dime Version 1
 08 Smash
 09 Deep Down Version 1
 10 Nom de Plume
 11 All Systems Red
 
 In addition to the new album and their work on the new Neko Case record, Calexico have other collaborations planned, including work with Gotan Project and singer/songwriter Marianne Dissard (who appeared on Calexico's 2000 album Hot Rail.

 The Drive-By Truckers have just finished up their seventh record in the studio. A Blessing And A Curse is tentatively scheduled to come out in April of 2006 on New West. The record was recorded at Mitch Easter's studio, the Fidelitorium, in NC and at producer, David Barbe's studio, Chase Park Transduction, in Athens, GA. David Barbe once again oversaw the producing and John Agnello mixed the record.
 
 NEW KONG:
 Patterson has posted a new song he recorded in his living room last week, titled "King Kong '76". You should go take a listen and read what he has to say, before the hype of the movie takes over...  http://www.pattersonhood.com/  : <  http://www.pattersonhood.com/>

They had that DBT download on Xmas day too, but I missed it. I'll make sure to get it on New Years Day.
 
 I'm not sure how I feel about the comments about the new Calexico. I'm not a fan of Iron and Wine or Sufjan.

Release date:  April 18th
 
 Rock trio Secret Machines has finalized the track list for its second Reprise album, "Ten Silver Drops." In the same vein as its nine-song 2004 predecessor, "Now Hear Is Nowhere," the new set spreads eight songs over 45 minutes, including the eight-minute psychedelic epic "Daddy's in the Doldrums."
 
 The Band's Garth Hudson contributes an accordion solo on "I Want To Know," while piano and layered vocals power the album-closing power ballad "1,000 Seconds."

It doesn't blow. But it also does not strike me as one of their best songs. It's a Patterson Hood song - and I think my biggest complaint would be that he sounds 'uninspired.'
 
 Unless my ears are deceiving me - it sounds like they are adding a variety of instrumentation - a barrage of horns @ the end.
 
 They are definitely all grown up now.
 
 I'll never forget my DBT indoctrination: It was my first @ SXSW. And it was my first gig of the first evening. It was one those rare unexpected musical events where you literally stand in awe of what you lucked upon. It was basically a live rendering of Alabama Ass Whuppin'. They were selling homemade copies of this project they were working on: Southern Rock Opera. It took me weeks to figure out what I had witnessed. I really miss that version of the band.

Reposted from the other "Albums in 2006" thread that I mistakenly created (sorry!):
 
 I note the Janurary 10th Kill Rock Stars release of The Gossip's new album: Standing in the Way of Control. More dance-y, less garage-y than their previous stuff. Not sure I like it as much as 2003's Movement, but it's growing on me.
