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

now  Mike Wheeler is doing a cover of some obscure Norwegian band
is there a term for jumping the person jumping the shark?
The Veronicas
New Chaka Khan album “Hello Happiness” is a scorcher


Looks like VW took LCD SOundsystem's idea for lazy album covers and ran with it.
I don't really get VW, but I'm glad that someone else thinks that album cover blows and it's not just my bias.
The band better make sure that copy of Microsoft Paint is licensed or they could be in a world of hurt in an audit.

these two posts made me laugh a lot more than they probably should have.  synergy!
I can't believe that this page is only 4 pages long on 3/6/19. You'd think there would have been hundred, if not thousands of albums released in 2+ months. Apparently not. Slow year.
Pottify killed the album. Maybe there should be a 2019 Playlists thread….
Any good old school rock and roll records come/coming out?


Spidergawd put out a killer RAWK record in January. It's a bit on the proggy end of things, but it surely rocks

i was going to put this in the re-issue thread, or the vinyl not dead yet thread, but i'm lazy and you offered an opening:

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant announced that his sixth solo album, Fate of Nations will be released with a special limited edition 180gm black vinyl.

Record Store Day states that album will be released in 13th April 2019. It will also be the first available Robert Plant vinyl in 30 years.

You can click here to find a participating stores.

Here is what Record Store Day‘s writes about Fate of Nations:

“This special limited edition 180gm black vinyl of Fate of Nations is being re-issued on Robert Plant’s own record label Es Paranza around Earth Day. All profits from the sale of this record will be given to Robert Plant’s nominated Environmental charity.

The album title and the artwork of the original 1993 is focussed on the impacts of geo-politics and globalisation on the earth / Robert’s environmental concerns.

The outer sleeve will be high end matt soft pack, whilst the inner sleeve will be printed on ethically sourced material and feature updated artwork (Environmental facts from 1993 compared to today’s data) This album has not been available on vinyl for 30 years (since the 90’s).”

Oh well I meant like new….new bands putting out rock


I got to say I find Plant’s solo career underwhelming…even that album with Alison Krauss is soooooo boring

sorry i couldn't help you with any new rawk.

agreed.  i'm arguably the biggest Zep fan here, and his solo stuff leaves me cold.  a decent track here and there, but low signal-to-noise ratio. 

fact nobody cares about: my first arena/stadium concert was robert plant (openers: the black crows) in 1988 if i remember correctly.
Robert Plant solo is really borderline garbage, even that much acclaimed LP with Allison Kraus.

TAN: saw Zoso for the first time last weekend on a whim.

The Mysterines will probably have a new album at some point, just a couple tracks from them.  They rock prohard for a young group.
