I really love the Wolf Parade song I've heard!!!!!

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Friday, 4 June 2004 15:58 (twenty years ago) link

Well, I'm not sure the Wolf Parade's coming out this year - it's probably kinda unlikely. But supposedly Isaac Brock is producing, so it could really be somethin' special.

Silkworm's "It'll Be Cool" in September

― CL, Friday, 4 June 2004 17:52 (twenty years ago) link

Fiery Furnaces' new record. I don't know what it's called yet.

― cramedog, Friday, 4 June 2004 18:24 (twenty years ago) link

Fiery Furnaces is called "Blueberry Boat." And everything I've heard so far is INCREDIBLE.

― Neb Reyob (Ben Boyer), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:26 (twenty years ago) link

"Booberry Bloat"

Blueberry Boat is indeed remarkable. Always here for you Nick.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:43 (twenty years ago) link

Awright, I'm a shill, but the Tough & Lovely are putting out a CD, and I really can't wait ...

And I'm excited to hear the A.C. Newman disc after one of the MP3 bloggers (Perpetua?) posted "The Town Halo" -- goddamn, what a song. Just a few more days for that one.

― Neb Reyob (Ben Boyer), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:47 (twenty years ago) link

im a little let down by ac newman so far - not as punchy as MR or EV.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:50 (twenty years ago) link

Does Sleater-Kinney have anything planned this year? If so, then I wanna hear it.

I can't really think of anything else, tho.

ooh, is there a release date on the rilo kiley? details?

― Josh Love (screamapillar), Saturday, 5 June 2004 02:22 (twenty years ago) link

I'm counting the days until Every Night by Saturday Looks Good to Me will be released (Sept 14).

So...what's your favorite Ida album? Will You Find Me, right? Mine too. Well, I heard that the material for the new Ida album is supposed to blow Will You Find Me away.

― Ernest P. (ernestp), Saturday, 5 June 2004 02:39 (twenty years ago) link

i predict that the bardo pond & tom carter collaboration will "blow my mind, man."

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 5 June 2004 05:31 (twenty years ago) link

Rilo Kiley is out July 27th. Self-released (on their own Brute/Beaute Records). It is gorgeous. They used a few different producers, with nice results - the song by Jimmy Tamborello, "Accidntel Death," is totally beautiful.

interpol?

― thesplooge (thesplooge), Saturday, 5 June 2004 12:51 (twenty years ago) link

Ernes, which version of "ambulance" by saturday looks good to me do you like better? The duet on All Your Summer Songs was the first one i heard, but then i got the first album and thought that it was a better song without the guy singing... except the ending was sorta weak (although the ending is weak on both versions) but yes, sept 14th (woo)

― f. destouches (f. destouches), Saturday, 5 June 2004 15:35 (twenty years ago) link

Jenny from Rilo Kiley also has a solo record coming out--early 2005, I think.

― Akiva Gottlieb, Saturday, 5 June 2004 15:45 (twenty years ago) link

kicker's debut album is allegedly almost complete. it will be great.

― keith m (keithmcl), Saturday, 5 June 2004 18:01 (twenty years ago) link

Ernes, which version of "ambulance" by saturday looks good to me do you like better?

I can't pick. Sometimes I'm tempted to go with the one on the first album, but then the Summer Songs version has the best use of a Mellotron in probably the last thirty years.

Saw SLGTM play twice a week or so ago (Atlanta and Knoxville); the Atlanta show was great, but the Knoxville show was even better. People were dancing and cheering, and there was thunderous applause after every song...this was the ten-piece band lineup (with two saxes, trumpet, trombone, etc.)...wow. The new songs sound fantastic - Fred said that the only singers on the upcoming album will be Betty Barnes (who was on the tour), Erika Hoffman (on 3 songs), and himself.
