New In Stores and on The Radio
In Stores 6/24:
Cute Is What We Aim For Rotation
I’m thinking XTRA listeners are hip to this band, right? Of course, you can listen to the entire album now on their myspace.
Less Than Jake GNV FLA
These guys will be hitting HOB on July 29th. Grab Does The Lion Still Roar? if you want a listen.
Liz Phair Exile In Guyville [reissue]
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of “Exile”, ATO is re-issuing a re-mastered version with four previously unreleased tracks plus a DVD. I didn’t realize that “Exile” was out of print...I still have my original beat up version for sure.
People In Planes Beyond The Horizon
I definitely took a liking to their previous album, so I will be taking this for a spin.
Saul Williams The Inevitable Rise and Fall of Niggy Tardust
You may recall that Trent Reznor (do I have to use Trent’s last name? You guys know who I am talking about whenever I write about Trent, no?) used this album as a sort of experiment for a digital only release prior to dropping his “Ghosts” album online. So now it is getting a physical release with five bonus tracks. Have a listen to “Convict Colony”:
Convict Colony (wma)
Convict Colony (quicktime)
Seabird Til We See The Shore
In my stack to listen to this week. Described by Cinncinati Weekly as “It’s an album ripe with stories of personal struggles, ethereal piano runs and Jeff Buckley’s spirit.”
Sigur Rós Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
I know a lot of people are excited about this album, but all I can think of when I hear this band is that I fell asleep at their show at Copley Symphony Hall.
Wombats A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation
Maybe you know of this band because of “Let’s Dance to Joy Division”. Well, that’s how I know about them. File in the “this won’t save the world but it’s a damn good time to listen to them” section.
Impacting on radio:
(alt rock)
Bad Religion - Sorrow (Acoustic Version)
Darker My Love - Two Ways Out
I loved their first album (available for dl in its entirety on dangerbird) and can’t wait to spend some time with this new one.
Flogging Molly - Float
Gutter Twins - All Misery/Flowers
(triple a)
B-52s - Juliet Of The Spirits
Darker My Love - Two Ways Out
