this fucking sucks, i've gone through a bottle of irish creme and i don't even feel a buzz.

I want Irish Cream! Or some jimmy!

What Harlem Shakes, where is that at? Ah, this is a must.

The new Stephen Malkmus one.

i rather wait for the new grinderman.

Buy some coke.






























Yay-oh!

something related to mf doom, for a man so profolic, it was a surprise to get nothing from him this year. apparently the ghostface colllaboration is all but dead.

lightning bolt! there was a new one due out late 07 but it never hapened!

Yea that review made me laugh, they said they felt awkward typing the band name into search engines.

Hot Chip, Tortoise, Madvillian, Boris(Smile) and Acid Mothers Temple(Anything), and Malkmus.

yes!!! the bolt!!!

other actual load releases i'm looking for: shit and shine and dj scotch egg.

of course boris and amt. did i mention the new sunn o)))?

hopefully, asva will release something too.

ina perverse way, i hope there is no new grinderman. id like to think now nick has mastered his basic skill of the guitar he can create that primevil sound on bad seeds records...... dont get me wrong, i love the grinderman record....

the seeds need blixa back, i feel he is missed moreso than they would like to admit!

has free kitten been mentioed or is that uncool!

actually, i think that the grinderman album left something to be desired and that probably they needed to tour and really be a band to get their shit together and that that very experience would make for a better album.

Is there definitely a new SunnO))) record out or are you just assuming because they put stuff with reasonable regularity?

Anyway, good call on the Shit n Shine. Also, Cherry, the Shit n Shine record that's coming out on Riot Season I am looking forward to.

Yes, that would be good. Bummer that the Ghostface collab is all but dead...where did you hear that by the way? They did that one track that was on some comp...Angels I think it was called. I don't remember it being mindblowing or anything.

Doom should do some stuff with other Wu members. Ghostface is OK but a collaboration with Raekwon or Gza would be better I think.

yeah, they entered the studio last month or so; they also have a live one planned, recorded in a cathedral, i think.

probably the shit and shine on riot season is going to be better than the one on load.

also, the new cage album and only built 4 cuban linx II (hopefully).

Dead Meadow's new album, 'old growth' is going to be released very soon, should be great.

Agreed on Silver Jews, I was so happy when I found out about the new release.

Off the top of my head I'd say the new Lee, Free Kitten, R.E.M., and Sunn O))). Yeah, that sounds about right.

i forgot about all the forthcoming bardo pond stuff!!!!

definitely looking forward to them.

My Bloody Valentine, Sebadoh (hopefully, in addition to live performances, new albums will be released)
On that note, nicfit raises a good point:
Namely, will there be a Second The Original Silence this year?

Some relatively new bands with eps last year (songs from both made my year-end comp) that should have full-lengths this year are Bear Hands (from Brooklyn)
http://www.bearhandsband.com/
http://www.myspace.com/bearhandsband
...and Crystal Castles (from Montreal).

schizophrenicroom, I haven't heard Vampire Weekend yet, but I've read good things at David Byrne's blog.

according to moshe, there will be a second and third original silence in '08.

Haunted Henschel. It's their first in 14 years, and will be their only available album, so it is quite anticipated by me.

Wasn't the MBV album supposed to come out in 2007?

I'm not anticipating anything. I wanna see if the music industry can surprise me. Come on, bring it on.
