NEW KONG:
Patterson has posted a new song he recorded in his living room last week, titled "King Kong '76". You should go take a listen and read what he has to say, before the hype of the movie takes over… http://www.pattersonhood.com/ : < http://www.pattersonhood.com/>
They had that DBT download on Xmas day too, but I missed it. I'll make sure to get it on New Years Day.

I'm not sure how I feel about the comments about the new Calexico. I'm not a fan of Iron and Wine or Sufjan.
JUNE 2006

THE CHARLATANS have revealed more details about their upcoming new studio album.

The band entered Hook End Manor Studios in Oxfordshire with producer Jim Lowe last month (July 18) to begin work on the LP â?? expected to be called â??Simpaticoâ??.

Tracks set to be included on the record include â??For Your Entertainmentâ??, â??N.Y.C. (Thereâ??s No Need To Stopâ??), â??The City Of The Deadâ?? and â??For All Othersâ??.
Release date: April 18th

Rock trio Secret Machines has finalized the track list for its second Reprise album, "Ten Silver Drops." In the same vein as its nine-song 2004 predecessor, "Now Hear Is Nowhere," the new set spreads eight songs over 45 minutes, including the eight-minute psychedelic epic "Daddy's in the Doldrums."

The Band's Garth Hudson contributes an accordion solo on "I Want To Know," while piano and layered vocals power the album-closing power ballad "1,000 Seconds."

Has horns in it, or it blows? Or both?

It doesn't blow. But it also does not strike me as one of their best songs. It's a Patterson Hood song - and I think my biggest complaint would be that he sounds 'uninspired.'

Unless my ears are deceiving me - it sounds like they are adding a variety of instrumentation - a barrage of horns @ the end.

They are definitely all grown up now.

I'll never forget my DBT indoctrination: It was my first @ SXSW. And it was my first gig of the first evening. It was one those rare unexpected musical events where you literally stand in awe of what you lucked upon. It was basically a live rendering of Alabama Ass Whuppin'. They were selling homemade copies of this project they were working on: Southern Rock Opera. It took me weeks to figure out what I had witnessed. I really miss that version of the band.
Reposted from the other "Albums in 2006" thread that I mistakenly created (sorry!):

I note the Janurary 10th Kill Rock Stars release of The Gossip's new album: Standing in the Way of Control. More dance-y, less garage-y than their previous stuff. Not sure I like it as much as 2003's Movement, but it's growing on me.
The Stills record and Richard Ashcroft should be coming out soon…I think the French Kicks and Walkmen will also release records this year…who knows..maybe even Interpol by fall…
David Gilmour "On an Island" in March
I'm too lazy to research dates now but off the top of my head, I'm looking forward to the following:

Fleeting Joys
Trespasers William
Dead Heart Bloom
Hinterland
God Is An Astronaut(EP)-['06 but I already have a copy]
The Voices
She, Sir
Monster Movie
Experimental Aircraft
Air Formation
Televise
Never Lose That Feeling (Vol. 2)
Hope Chest
Clearlake
Secret Machines
Ted Leo
and maybe the Built to Spill finally?
Ah, how could I forget!?

The Flies

This is Sean Cook's (Spiritualized & Lupine Howl) new band.

It hasn't been released yet but will be soon. Somehow they found me and offered to send me a copy and I'm loving most of it. Of course, I'm a very big Lupine Howl fan. It's kind of laid back and settled like their latest work but there's something more exciting about it that sounds more like LH's earlier works. Maybe more of a blend between the various LH releases but with a new band. Kind of Bluesy at times like their earlier sounds but not as wild sounding. Nice production too.

This one is for you LazerGuidedMelodies, wherever you are. ;)
