2020 Albums

Good day for new releases…

Toots and the Maytals - Got To Be Tough
Bettye Lavette - Blackbirds
The Empty Hearts - The Second Album (that Wally Palmer, Elliot Easton, Clem Burke, Andy Babiuk supergroup thingy)

https://theemptyhearts.bandcamp.com/album/the-second-album

produced by Ed Stasium who has been involved in so just  "few" seminal albums :p

Another new record of interest came across my desk today from Bethany Thomas - BT \ She \ Her on Bloodshot Records

Arab Strap are back with their first official song in 15 years.

Philophobia gets more of the love from fans but I think I still prefer Elephant Shoe

"I am the Son of Sleep. All I need's an invitation"

If this is any indicator of a new album, I can imagine it being a solid reunion album on the level of Dino Jr or Mission of Burma.

it's got some really good tracks
I still have last year's  'Better Oblivion Community Center' (Connor oberst and Phoebe) on heavy rotation

It is funny to me how post BOCC, Pheobe inherited the trademark "Bright Eyes horn parts". It was such a stereotypical thing he did and now its on like three songs on her newest and mixed so close to the front on the closing track.

have to say it was a real bummer that 2020 killed the Bright Eyes/Lucy Dacus tour

My favorite thing about Punisher

PreOrdered the vinyl of King Khan and the Infinite
releases October 30, 2020


Soulful garage rocker King Khan is getting into jazz and will release new album The Inifite Ones on October 30 via Ernest Jenning Record Co. The album features Sun Ra Arkestra's Marshall Allen and Knoel Scott, and Calexico's John Convertino and Martin Wenk. You can still tell it's a King Khan record, though, on the skronky and groovy "Wait Till the Stars Burn."

As has been the case for decades of new Springsteen this does nothing for me…


Probably the only thing I really like on it is the sound of Roy Bittan’s piano and maybe maybe Max’s drumming a bit…just cause they remind me of better days

The song has no real hook

Please Mr Robert Smith bring this out now!

New Shame single (Alphabet) released and new Springsteen single (Letter to You) released as well. 
And new Idles album (Ultra Mono) should be coming out this month Sept 25th - although a few singles from album already out.

This looks super fun.. A collection of the Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings covers
