Looks like the new album is done and back from the manufacturer ready to be sold
Saw a release date of 7/22



FREEMAN is Aaron Freeman's first album of original material since disbanding Ween and getting sober, but it's not a record mired in its maker's private struggles. It's a collection of gorgeous, subtly offbeat songs. The lush psych pop of "...Stallion"; the melancholy plea of "More Than the World"; the unflappable, Plastic Ono Band esque blues-rock of "Gimmie One More." FREEMAN distills the Aaron Freeman aesthetic equal parts wonder & malaise, frankness & mysticism, defiance & vulnerability to its headiest essence, proving that this man, known for so long by another name, is finally free.

Are you and hutch hitting this show up?

well the label is now denying that info, which means they didn't hear a hit single on it

The Bombay Royale's new album "The Island Of Dr. Electrico is pretty much the album of the year for me.  Where else are you going to hear great moments of a Bollywood verses Spaghetti Western track or when a sitar kicks on top of a solid Curtis Mayfield funk groove.  So epic and fun at the same time.

Always fun to find a cover with a really different take on a classic...

Merrymouth, which i guess one could call a Ocean Colour Scene side project head by the OSC lead singer, do  a piano driven with string quartet folk take on the Stone Roses classic "I Am The Resurrection.

Probably right. The new album's called "Smackie".

Slowdive is having every shoegaze bands nightmare.  Their pedals and effects are on a different continent then they are.

Quite possibly the one of the greatest review ever written

Just shit

One of the difficult things about reviewing a Tiësto album ? apart from actually listening to it ? is that there are only so many ways to describe rubbish. However, on the Dutchman?s fifth album he?s made it slightly easier by delivering 14 identical piles of crap: lumpen trance that stomps on your will to live like candy ravers in furry boots, and breakdowns that feel like jumping off a cliff. Which it might seriously drive you to do. Then there are the singers bellowing ?empowering? lyrics Gwyneth Paltrow would consider trite. Speaking of whom, this is all so awful it makes Coldplay?s collaboration with Avicii sound inspired. Produced with apparent contempt for anyone?s ears or intelligence, it?s lowest common denominator bullshit of the most cynical kind. But the most galling thing is that like some evil alchemist Tiësto will somehow turn this trash into millions of dollars. Paul Clarke

What's so great about this review is how it can be used as a template for other records...

[i am gay and i like cats]

i wonder, how many albums, that reviewer has released?

[azaghal1981]

I always wonder why people ask this question upon encountering a negative review.
You don't have to be a musician in order to have an opinion about music.

[i am gay and i like cats]

yes, but you should have, at least musical talent enough to put out music to be reviewed, if you are going to trash other peoples talent, as shit.

having an opinion . . . and putting out your opinion into the world to be accepted and deciphered as the truth, are two separate things.

That's idiotic. Absolutely nothing you said in your comma delimited rant is remotely reasonable.
