the new Explosions in the Sky is kinda mediocre...

[Chulahoma]

yeah i agree.  the new EITS cd has its on and off moments.  i saw them play @ the Warsaw a few days ago and while they were a bit rusty in the beginning, overall it was an amazing show.
 
 can't wait to see them at the club!

Boy, March 6th will be a pretty heavy release day: Arcade Fire, Air, and the Stooges. Nice article (and video) on the NYT web site. Article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/arts/music/25ratliff.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Don't forget Son Volt!

And Bright Eyes.
 
 
 I also agree with what was said above about the new EITS. Very underwhelming. Still, I'm excited for this upcoming show.

Has anyone actually been bowled over by what they've heard off of The Weirdness?

agreed, i was disappointed ... it isn't bad, it just sounds a lot like their last one ... "the rescue" was fun just because it showed a different side of them

After thirteen months of writing at their homes in Brooklyn, the National have announced the title and release date of their follow-up to 2005's Alligator.
 
 The album's title is Boxer, and Beggars Banquet will release it on May 22.

i am really, really, really excited for this one and hope there's an iota show in the near future:
 
 Mary Weiss was the lead singer of the great Shangri-Las, who carried Shadow Morton�??s teen melodramas to the highest reaches of pop culture. Now, forty years after the last Shangri-Las record, Weiss is about to release a remarkable solo début, �??Dangerous Game�?� (Norton). Backed by the Memphis garage band Reigning Sound, Weiss is in fine voice, and the songs combine the dark innocence of girl-group records with a mature sense of regret. Several sound like outtakes from a great lost Blondie album, including the taut �??I Just Missed You�?� and the torchy title track. The highlights are a pair of gorgeous ballads: �??You Can Stay with Me�?� and �??Cry About the Radio,�?� the latter a luminous bit of retro pop that celebrates itself by taking a hard swipe at the modern market: �??Kids, kids don�??t know shit / They just want a hit / I don�??t write hits.�?�
