"new kid" sounds like it could be a Smiths/Old 97's song, eh?

at first I didn't think so but after listening to it for a few times, I tend to agree… esp the last 30 seconds or so - both the lyrics and his vocals are a little smithsy

Thanks - I like the sound of the new stuff. A few steps back…in a good way. I busted out Wreck Your Life this weekend. Man, did it sound great.
Satellite and Won't Be Home are both old songs that Murry and Rhett have performed as the Ranchero Brothers for a number of years.

Probably the reason why it sounds like older stuff.

New Kid is about a year old, probably why it sounds different.

SOCIAL DISTORTION IN THE STUDIO MIXING

Theyâ??re not in the final sequence, but we wanted to give you the first glance at the songs youâ??ve been waiting for. A title for the record is still in the works, but we will be sure to let you in on what it is as soon as we get it from the big man himself.

Songs:
Reach For The Sky
Shake Ass
Donâ??t Take Me For Granted
Footprints On My Ceiling
Nickels & Dimes
I Wasnâ??t Born To Follow
Winners & Losers

The Libertines Reveal New LP Tracklist
The Chaste team with The Resolute, The Virtuous for PiousFest '04
James Gregory reports:
They fight, they steal, they break up and make up… all while singing songs! West Side Story it ain't, but, in a strikingly Beulah-esque move, The Libertines are apparently staying together after all, despite a widely reported announcement that they had disbanded. To that end, they've announced the tracklist of their upcoming second album, cleverly titled The Libertines.

According to NME, the album is set for an August 30th release on Rough Trade Records, and, like their first album, was produced by Mick Jones of The Clash and Big Audio Dynamite. With any luck, this sophomore effort will be more Give 'em Enough Rope than No. 10, Upping Street– although, come to think of it, a wicked cover of "C'Mon Every Beatbox" could be pretty inspired. The album's first single, "Can't Stand Me Now", is slated for an August 9th release. Tracklist for The Libertines:

01 Can't Stand Me Now
02 Last Post On The Bugle
03 Don't Be Shy
04 The Man Who Would Be King
05 Music When The Lights Go Out
06 Narcissist
07 The Ha Ha Wall
08 Arbeit Macht Frei
09 Campaign Of Hate
10 What Katie Did
11 Tomblands
12 The Saga
13 Road To Ruin
14 What Became Of The Likely Lads

This particular album news comes hot on the heels of a yearlong bout of loveable hijinx on the part of frontman Pete Doherty who, as previously reported (and sometimes not reported– he's a tough fucker to keep up with), went to jail for breaking into his bandmates' apartment, entered and broke out of various and sundry drug rehab clinics (inconsideratly dropping their success rates in the process), and attempted to launch a solo career under the God-awful name Babyshambles before finally reuniting with The Libertines this month. Certainly more drama is coming right up. We'll keep you posted like mini Dr. Phils.
New Spice 1 & MC Eiht collab album "The Pioneers" drops today, June 29th.

awful? or maybe just not your type of music? i mean, it is better than their first album…but then again, i think they're both quality.

well I like a lot of the bands they are compared to, and I thought it was awful, obviously it is my opinion

sorry to hear.
Any word on those Cure re-issues? I found a couple articles that said 8/17, but Amazon/Tower don't have them listed as upcoming releases.
"The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads" is being released on CD for the first time on 8/17. :)
Waiting for the new Mooney Suzuki cd. Alive and amplifed is the name, if I recall.
