Drunk Girls was always the song I liked least but some of the stuff on This is Happening is brilliant… I thought the Ryuichi Sakamoto/Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence nod was so cool…


I love This is Happening.. one of my favorites… and seeing them from the center front of the pit at Virgin Freefest remains one of my most fun experiences..

Another reason why the album is very special to me. Was front row center in the pit when they played Charlottesville in October 2010. Still one of my favorite shows.

Maybe Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (they are recording, just no release date set)

“We’ve really nearly finished a new record, I would say,” Cave revealed to the Melbourne Town Hall crowd, reports an eyewitness on Reddit. “And it’s an amazing thing in my opinion.

I hate to write this but their last album was so mediocre from the absolutely worst album cover ever that I  just can't get too revved up about their "hey we recorded this in a total half assed way…and its a bunch of covers" hipster approach


While I somewhat agree on your "hipster approach" argument, I strongly disagree with your opinion that American Dream is mediocre. It's the weakest since their debut but still has a ton of great tunes (Oh Baby, Change Yr Mind, Call the Police, etc.)

Don't know what they were thinking with that cover art though…


Just $$$$$. Murphy loves a cash grab.

How common. Refined people have subordinates who collect all the cash and bring it to them so they don't have to ungracefully grab like heathens.

two new weezer albums…  yeay?

Weezer’s surprise cover album is half karaoke, half internet meme
The band’s viral cover of Toto’s “Africa” was rapidly eclipsed by its version of TLC’s “No Scrubs” — a sincere jam from a cheeky album.

(…) The meme is a fitting one, given that Toto’s “Africa” is well known to be one of the most beloved songs of the internet — and the joke’s expansion into an entire album is a clever marketing ploy. But Weezer’s album is more than just a fun nostalgia trip for fans; it’s also clever stealth promo for the band’s upcoming March release, [font=inherit]The Black Album[/font].


(some folks will be excited)

The teal album should have been a teal single with Africa on the a-side and happy together on the b-side…

New Idlewild "Interview Music" out April 5th.

They released the first track "Dream Variations" yesterday and it's absolutely killer.  My initial reaction was it starts out as Idlewild but morphs into a Super Furry Animals.  I later update it to this

Totally digging the transition it makes from what the band does best with a driving bass line  and then slowly morphing into a 60s pop haze.  That keyboard hook is going to be stuck in my head for weeks.  Looking forward to whole album!

The origin of the joke comes from Donald Fagen saying "nice" in Steely Dan's "Hey 69".

My better half informs me that the song is actually called "Hey Nineteen."
