2023 Albums

Guide By Voices - La La Land
January 20, 2023

Ha ha I was going to post

Guided by Voices - Col. Pinko’s Propeller Plane

lol, i created a "2023 albums" thread last night but forgot to hit "post"… anyhoo:

apparently the rolling stones will release their first post-charlie album in the new year.

The Rolling Stones to delight fans with first album of new music in 18 years

Been a couple of only albums I would be interested in announced already i.e. Hamish Hawk, but it was this one that I would have posted as it just popped up today…

Secret Machines
The Moth, The Lizard, and the Secret Machines
2/17

"This is their second album since getting back together and is a bit of a "lost" record, as it stems from recordings originally made in 2010 and then reworked following 2020’s return"

first single "There's No Starting Over" found here

Algiers
Shook
Matador
2/24

bunch of guests on this one include a dude named Zack De La Rocha, seems familiar can't quite place him anyways new single from the album

Algiers- "Irreversible Damage (ft. Zack De La Rocha)"

The Lathums
From Nothing To A Little Bit More
2/24
Island

first single "Say My Name" is out about on the various streaming sites…

hopefully they'll tour the US again and weirdly after having a pinned tweet about the absence of their bass player, they months later announce he's left the band… kinda awkward letting that info just sit there that long, must have been legal issues or summut..

Members of Judas Priest, Pantera, and Rainbow have formed a new supergroup called Elegant Weapons, and have announced their debut album, Horns for a Halo, arriving in Spring 2023 via Nuclear Blast.

New Everything But The Girl album due in the Spring

New Iggy Pop album out in January…preorders are his website including

Really hoping he plays a DC live show but sort of doubtful he will…. It’s almost like other than festivals he won’t do the US. Now in France he doesn’t seem to mind playing small artsy venues…guess he just likes playing live in Europe…can’t say I blame him for doing what he wants at this point…

There is new Peter Gabriel album I/O and possible US  tour for 2023

can't wait to see the prices for those tix

Don Letts
Outta Sync
April 28th

My debut solo album 'Outta Sync’ drops 28th April 2023 - kick started by Youth & produced by Gaudi it's basically the soundtrack of my mind with some cool bass lines & features the likes of Terry Hall, Hollie Cook, Wayne Coyne & Zoe Devlin Love.

first single sounding nice

FYI Hollie Cook is Paul Cook’s (Sex Pistols) daughter.

Don Letts is 66 (67 when his record drops). It's never too late to start something.

Don Letts has been in and around music since the 70s
was even in B.A.D.

but his first solo release

well known for his video work with the clash and b.a.d.  but TIL some of the other iconic vids he did
"Pass the Dutchie" Musical Youth
"Back on the Chain Gang" The Pretenders
"Everyday I Write the Book" Elvis Costello and the Attractions
"Round and Round" Ratt

But he's always been on the side, background, or entirely invisible. Putting yourself in front is a bold move no matter who you are.

Really shocked that he did the Ratt video.

yeah i did find the whole first solo album this late in his career a bit odd and based on the first single it sounds like it's going a fun one, not sure i want to spend the money to get the CD shipped from the UK.

I was too, mini-teen hatch LOVED that video (it's horrible, I had a short but big RATT phase, luckily I found punk)

But I agree, he was surely a sideman in b.a.d.

fever ray 'radical romantics' scheduled for march 10

A) Legends always return!

B) New Sparks album and tour in 2023
