New Macca album out December 11


This has been sort of known for weeks



Going to be called “McCartney III”
New goo goo dolls Christmas album!!
The new Springsteen album Letter to You is really solid.  Much much better than Western Stars which I couldn't listen to more than once.

I think i used that phrase to describe the new Springsteen as well, though i think i also liked Western Stars (will have to go back and listen again to compare.)

The Smashing Pumpkins are working on a 33-song “rock opera” sequel to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
That’s after, of course, the alt-rockers release forthcoming double album, Cyr
Dude, I don’t buy/listen to the new stuff. Oceania was the last of their stuff I listened to.
Care far more about that Mellon collie anniversary tour if COVID ever ends.
This new Elvis Costello album is not at all what I was expecting.. it's far more adventurous in sound then I would expected from him, it sounds similar to what Jarvis Cocker and Baxter Dury have been doing of late.
Didn’t know he had a new one

i know, but i was concerned that this callback to the last time the band was relevant would get your juices flowing.

I seem to recall both of us sitting at a bar in Philly after driving up from DC to see them like a decade after they were last relevant. . .
I saw them in Chicago for Mellon Collie


Rosemont?


A few years earlier I saw them at llola

William got very upset about flying water bottles

I probably already shared this

dude, when it comes to relevance, i don't think you want to hitch your wagon to mine.
I saw Corgan join Roger Waters on stage for some benefit thing a few years ago. His vocals on Brain Damage were freakishly chilling, and seem to hit a little too close to home for him.
Better but still missing the hook or break!

I also heard a bit from a third track


I think this album is going to be better than Rock or Bust which I found really disappointing

Picking up on Friday at the record store
