David Bowie.

We should be so lucky.

Well four years will be like, the longest gap he's left between albums, like...ever. He's been recording more or less non-stop since the Sixties.

And Heathen was amazing.

Well... yeah, but that whole heart mess had him down for a bit. I've heard tell that he's working on something (rumor being that that's why he's not going to be performing at the High Line festival after all, though he's still hosting or curating or whatever I think), but I've been trying not to get my hopes up.

Heathen was indeed amazing.

I'd be ecstatic if he released something this year, as long as it's not another hours.... Not that I hated hours..., as I don't think I've hated anything he's released, but I didn't love it either.

The new Of Montreal album is my favorite one yet.

kablaaamo · « **Reply #52 on:** 25 Jan 2007, 13:19 »

I am practically soiling myself over what is coming out this year....if even half of the anticipated releases are worth the wait and there are a few good breakout artists (and really....when aren't there?), 2007 will be completely amazing. And I will have no savings left. Particularly exciting for me are the new Apostle of Hustle, Wilco, Islands, Final Fantasy, Menomena and Of Montreal.

And yeah, PS. Where's the love for Apostle of Hustle? National Anthem of Nowhere leaked not too long ago....has no one else bothered to find it? I rather like it.

KrysNyteshade · « **Reply #53 on:** 26 Jan 2007, 05:49 »

I'm exicted for:

Nine Inch Nails, both the live DVD coming out next month, and the new album, out in April I believe. The way Trent's been talking about it has me quite excited. He really lost of people with [With_Teeth] though.

The Cure- Possibly a double album? Score. More like Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me than Pornography? Okay, I can deal with that. First quarter? Hellz yah.

VNV Nation, putting out both a remix/b-sides EP and full length? Score.

Tiger Army, pretensious Lovecraftian title aside, sounds good.

Danzig's lost tracks should be fun as well.

And there are rumors of Bauhaus putting something out too, which would be cool.

My list of what I'm looking forward to in 2007 goes like this: ~~Deerhoof~~, Modest Mouse, Wilco, Radiohead, ~~The Shins~~, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Air, Low, Bright Eyes, Arcade Fire, Architecture In Helsinki, Massive Attack, The Postal Service, Stereolab, Tortoise, Spoon, and Wolf Parade. The sick thing is, most of these bands I still ~~want~~ need to buy other albums from.

Supposedly the Pixies are going to record an album this year, though I'd be amazed if it got released in 2007.

kallisti · « **Reply #56 on:** 26 Jan 2007, 07:14 »

Are the crossed-out ones because you've already heard them and therefore can no longer be said to be "looking forward to them" or for some other reason?

BillAdama · « **Reply #57 on:** 26 Jan 2007, 08:44 »

I'm listening to Of Montreal right now.

It is rock.

I'm surprised to like this so much, because I picked up their 2005 release and was let down by it.

Bah, 2007 is barely underway...

that and the fact that I have exams prevent me from finding out which band is bringing out albums...

I'm expecting a new Nightwish album halfway through the year, and hopefully, Judas Priest will do some good with their concept album "Nostradamus"

Van Halen. Are reuniting with Roth. I don't know if there's gonna be an album, but there's a tour.

Oh man, I haven't listened to VNV Nation in FOREVER! I might have to check their new stuff out.

I've gotten a chance to listen to Cursed's EP "Blackout At Sunrise" and I have to say that it's everything I had hoped it would be, and has left me drooling with anticipation for their new album "III" that's supposed to come out this year.

penpen17: hooray it's not just me then. I was beginning to worry that either I or everyone else was lacking in taste or something.

valley_parade: There is no way a Van Halen/Roth reunion is going to last, or be survived without bloodshed. There's way too much baggage and ego floating around for that to happen.

I have a list of 20+ bands that I am waiting for releases from. I keep adding new stuff every day. IT IS STARTING TO GET CRAZY.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #67 on:** 27 Jan 2007, 03:44 »

I'm actually kinda getting in to the Klaxons. Well, more so than any other British band in the last five years to recieve airplay. I could comfortably dance to 'Magick' in a club.

It was really kind of wierd to just be sitting in a bar and be like "hmnn, cool beats...hang on, they're singing about Aleister Crowley!" *look up* "ooh, flourescent paint is vomiting out of a mans eyes, this beats the Arctic Monkeys any day."

I have to say though, I'm about 500 levels of liking them below the jittering enthusiasm of music journalists who just had the pathways in their brain they wired open with ecstacy binges in the early nineties zapped for the first time in a decade.

Kharbevnor: I get the feeling you've a Crowley/Thelema fixation or somesuch?

Anyways, I'd lose copious amounts of drool if Bauhaus or Bowie were to release new albums. Bauhaus is one of my favourite bands of all time (I'm actually wearing a Bauhaus T-shirt now, but that's neither here nor there) and Bowie is my all-time favourite artist of ever.

kallisti · « **Reply #69 on:** 27 Jan 2007, 04:22 »

I am still bitter that I've missed every single opportunity to see Bauhaus that has ever presented itself to me.

Which is...um...three? But still. I'm bitter.

Maybe if they really do release a new album I'll have another chance. Yes.

Oh jesus god I hope that JAMC-at-Coachella means they might do something new and then play again somewhere I CAN go. Oh god oh god.

Love is the law etc. etc.

I'm pretty loose and lax in my whole approach, but as the beast himself said, 'I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.'

My path is quite erratic and includes frequent rest stobs.

The extra letter · « **Reply #73 on:** 27 Jan 2007, 04:54 »

I was fairly interested in Crowley's stuff about 3 years or so ago, but I don't have the focus or intellectual fortitude to really apply myself to anything like that.

Instead I've just got a weird-arsed thing of my own that could've been made by a psychotic bowerbird. Or something.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #74 on:** 27 Jan 2007, 05:14 »

I think the best thing about Crowley is that you really don't need to read the entire body of work (which is an insane undertaking, I've read about a sixth of it at most. His later stuff, particularly 'The Confessions of Aleister Crowley', 'The Magical Diaries of Aleister Crowley' and his poetry, ends up condensing a lot of his philosophies into a far more digestible form: A lot of his writings can be discarded, or at least overlooked, by anyone not interested in serious ritual magick. To be a Thelemist you only really need to understand what Crowley means by the word 'will', and his conception of strength versus weakness. Most of the rest is technical details, and I'm not much of a magician. Hell, I use more wiccan ritual systems than I do thelemic.

I'd also like to point out that, whilst I think he's the closest thing we've had to a messiah in the last hundred years, he was an egotistical arsehole and a blatant racist. Unfortunately, a lot of the great men of his time were.

The extra letter · « **Reply #75 on:** 27 Jan 2007, 05:22 »

Didn't Gardener (or however his name was spelled) lift a fair few Thelemic rituals or at least the basis for them anyway?

I must get the biography I've got of Crowley off my girlfriend and start reading his work again, it's been far too long since I've read anything by him.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #76 on:** 27 Jan 2007, 05:45 »

Pretty much. L. Ron Hubbard lifted good portions of Dianetics from OTO material as well.

Last year the bands I expected the most from (With the exceptions of Dylan and Newsom) were sort of let downs. But if only half of the albums set to come out this year come out and live up to expectations, it could be the best year for music in years.

Is anyone else anticipating the new album by Lucinda Williams? I know she's alt-country and not really indie, but I think Sweet Old World, Car Wheels On A Gravel Road, and World Without Tears are all very good albums.

Merkava · « **Reply #79 on:** 28 Jan 2007, 09:26 »

Wilco
Modest Mouse
Wolf Parade
Ted Leo/Rx
Explosions in the Sky

The new Shins album is excellent also.

Spoon is supposed to have a new album out this year, and I'm really excited for that.

So, the new Arcade Fire finally (lol, the internet makes you stupid, or rather, spoiled.) leaked. What are you guyses thoughts? I think it's pretty defining that the, in my opinion, best track is "No Cars Go", which was already on the ep before Funeral. The rest is okay, of course, but somehow not as... dunno, charming, for lack of a better word, as Funeral.

The new Do Make Say Think looks to be hella sweet.

I was thinking...exactly how much better 2007 is than 2006 so far for music.

By this time last year I'm not sure if I had two albums from 2006 I liked.

So far in 2007 there's already...

The Shins, Deerhoof, Of Montreal, Patty Griffin, Field of Music, and a couple other ones not at that level but quite good.

And a bunch more albums from good bands coming out just in the next couple weeks. Not to mention the fact that almost all my favorite bands are set to release albums at some point this year.

So far for me the only major disappointment is Lucinda Williams. It's like at some point since 2003 she was put on mood stabilizers. Because West just sounds like fragments of World Without Tears, on repeat, stripped of emotion. Then again, Essence sucked too, so many there's some kind of Star Trek movie pattern going on with her and her next album will rock.

65 days of static
Biffy Clyro
The New Pornographers
Islands
Arcade Fire
and a stack of others from reading through this thread and being all 'ooh! i'll be getting that when it comes out!!'

Stuff I've heard/got from this year:
Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone = stunning. repeat listens garner great rewards.
The Shins - Wincing the Night Away = i thought it was instantly likeable. some really really great tracks
Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City = not as 'instant' as their first, it's still a cracking album.
Hella - There's No 666 in Outerspace = i'm enjoying it. not listened to a lot by the band but i like it.

Scytale · « **Reply #91 on:** 22 Feb 2007, 04:05 »

Gothic Kaballah is pretty damn good it's going to be hard to beat it I think.

That said Summoning are putting out a new EP this year!!!!!! I though Oath Bound was the best album of last year (and the best thing Summoning's done since Stronghold) so I'm heaps excited.

Die Verbannten Kinder Evas have a new album out as well, it's supposed to be pretty good, protector's been colaberating with a new female singer from Greece.

Protector also mentioned he might Final release a new Ice Ages (he's EBM side project) cd as well, looks like it's gonig to be a busy year for him, I look forward to it.

I'm listening to the Boris /Michio Kurihara cd now, it's not bad either, seems liek a pretty good year so far.

I saw Busdriver and Deerhoof last night, and both their performances showed that their new material flows well with the old.

Deerhoof-Friend Opportunity is my favorite of their's to date (Runners Four is a close second)

Busdriver's album is pretty good. Coral (the guy that ran the decks / triggerbox / Powerbook G4) is pretty damn good. I hand him props for a fun dance party right before the Deerhoof madness.

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #94 on:** 20 Mar 2007, 13:53 »

Month-ish later bump GOOOOO

So I guess the new Modest Mouse and LCD Soundsystem albums are good?? Damn, more CDs I hafta buy. I wish we could have a year where nobody releases anything so I could catch up on all the albums I need to get from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s.

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #95 on:** 20 Mar 2007, 14:16 »

I'm sorta surprised that nobody's talking about the upcoming Queens of the Stone Age album "Era Vulgaris." I think they're still good.

JediBendu · « **Reply #97 on:** 20 Mar 2007, 14:29 »

I'm just looking forward to Fugees comeback... If it ever comes out, that is... Wu-Tang Clan's supposed to be doing a new one too.

Also... Queens of the Stone Age is coming out with a new one I'm kind of looking forward to. Even though I'm not gonna get my hopes up to much, since "Lullabies To Paralyze" wasn't all that great. Except for "I Never Came" that was a pretty damn good song.

And the best of the year so far for me... I'd have to say probably goes to Deerhoof. The Shins really dissapointed me. Arcade Fire's okay.

Thrillho · « **Reply #98 on:** 20 Mar 2007, 15:08 »

I'm not very impressed with 2007's output so far. I'm pretty sure I had some great 2006 albums in my listening collection this time last year, but the only great record I've had this year is by the Hold Steady and even that's patchy.

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #99 on:** 20 Mar 2007, 18:38 »

You must not like Deerhoof, the Shins, or Arcade Fire that much, then, since each of those three bands have released an album I consider to be the best or one of the best things they've ever done.
