Hot potatoes

Dying to get out of the office so just a quick post before I leave.

Below are some albums coming up this summer to look out for:

  • Frank Black, Fastman Raiderman, 6/20 - Frontman for the Pixies releases another solo album. After seeing them perform at ACL 2004 I am all for Mr. Black, and look forward to seeing what crazy sh*t he pulls together this time.
  • Thom York, The Eraser, 7/11 - Apparently it is the summer of the solo album. I'll look out to see if Thom plays any of this material while Radiohead tour this summer and report back.
  • Sufjan Stevens, The Avalanche, 7/11 - Yeah, apparently this disk has 21 tracks. Intense.
  • TV on the Radio, Return to Cookie Mountain, 8/1 - Apparently David Bowie does backup on this cd - amazing.
  • Mars Volta, Still Untitled, 8/15 - Third album, rumored to have lots of Red Hot Chili Peppers influence.

Enjoy the weekend people! I for one will be subjecting my good friend Lynne to 6 hours + of recently purchased music on a road trip to a fabulous wedding. The ride up: Hard-Fi, TV on the Radio, We Are Scientists, Goldfrapp, Bloc Party. The way back: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Stars, Jenny Lewis and anything that will cure a hangover.
