Holy Cow, It's New Music Tuesday (8/21)!

[roberto73]

The last few fallow weeks were obviously a test. Now, having come out the other side, we're rewarded with one of the richest weeks in recent memory. This is not a comprehensive list. If your favorite band is releasing something that I haven't included, please make mention of it for everyone's benefit, but don't cry about it like I meant to hurt you personally.

Architecture in Helsinki – Places Like This
Caribou – Andorra
David Dondero – Simple Love
Earlimart – Mentor Tormentor
Jeremy Enigk – The Missing Link
Imperial Teen – The Hair the TV the Baby and the Band
Kinski – Down Below It's Chaos
Kula Shaker – Strangefolk
Talib Kweli – Eardrum
The Mekons – Natural
M.I.A. – Kala
Minus the Bear – Planet of Ice
Travis Morrison Hellfighters – All Y'All
The New Pornographers – Challengers
Rilo Kiley – Under the Blacklight
Josh Ritter – The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter
The Waterboys – Book of Lightning

Oh, and yeeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaaaa! A whole mess of Garth Brooks albums are being reissued tomorrow, so you can satisfy your inner cowpoke.

[woogie846]

I'll be picking up Challengers and possibly the new Architecture in Helsinksi.

[full on idle]

Garth Brooks has never been a cowpoke, Santa Barbara.


HELLO GO BUY CHALLENGERS. CHEERS. THE END.

[roberto73]

Garth Brooks has never been a cowpoke, Santa Barbara.

Pseudo-cowpoke, then. At any rate, he managed to fool all the good ol' boys I grew up with in Cowtown, Ohio.

[fober]

Yet another uneventful Tuesday.

[BlueDevil50]

rilo kiley and mia are pretty good so far just listening to the albums...

[miscorrections]

anyone know if the imperial teen is any good?

[roberto73]

anyone know if the imperial teen is any good?

I just downloaded it, but won't get around to actually listening to it until tomorrow.

[miscorrections]

let me know, if it is i'll put it on my list.

[luckyface]

Caribou and Minus the Bear will be excellent. I will get those.

[sonofhal]

The Rilo Kiley album is a huge letdown. Reminds me of Miami Sound Machine and various other ropey 80's rubbish.

[Sushov23]

TALIB KWELI
M.I.A
RILO KILEY
Are all bought tomorrow for sure!

[orbit]

Uberzone - Ideology

[bballarl]

I love Kula Shaker. I'll dl it first and see if I should buy it. Kinski is cool too.

[PassiveTheory]

Fucking hell... And here I hoped I'd get to post this week's stuff... goddamn you, Roberto...

I'll be picking up Rilo Kiley and Minus The Bear, but I think you forgot that the Flaming Lips have something out this week... Something to do with UFOs?... X.x

Uberzone - Ideology

Thanks for this. I saw it listed, but when it comes to dance/techno/electronica/drum & bass/whatever it's being called this week, I plead ignorance about which releases are worth mentioning.

Sorry, man. I wasn't intending to put this up until I hopped on iTunes last night and saw there were about ten things I wanted.

The Flaming Lips disc – UFO's at the Zoo: The Legendary Concert in Oklahoma City – isn't a traditional live album. It apparently has more in common with a DVD. Here's how Pitchfork describes it: "This document, which is neither simply an album nor simply a concert film, is being issued as an MVI album, which means it plays on DVD players but not CD players, and contains bonus digital material. In other words, it presents the visual and the musical with equal emphasis, but will likely be outdated before the second-gen iPhone is out."

[C DUB YA]

It's all about M.I.A. this week.

Has anyone heard anything from or about the Kula Shaker?

[Tylerdurden31]

I heard the new Architecture in Helsinki yesterday...it's pretty much awesome

[Beef Jerky]

[thinnerair]

Imperial Teen – The Hair the TV the Baby and the Band
Talib Kweli – Eardrum
Minus the Bear – Planet of Ice
Travis Morrison Hellfighters – All Y'All

[Yablonowitz]

I'd like to hear reviews of Talib Kweli and MIA.

I can tell you that Challengers is yet another victorious New Pornographers album. Pay for it. It's worth it.

[TomAz]

That's like the first Waterboys album in what, 7 years?

[C DUB YA]

They've done ep type stuff over in the UK

[C DUB YA]
