How is this? I'm thinking this Friday's show with them and Sounds of Kaleidoscope could be very good.
It's pretty frickin' awesome. Like a giant '70s stew topped with a heaping dollop of noise.

I think it's a great improvement over Blue Cathedral.
the single best album of all time.

I think M Ward came out only on vinyl on Tuesday, and the CD is next week for some reason.
Any idea what's going on with this one? I went to Crooked Beat on Sunday and they said they think the CDs been postponed.

And has anyone heard the Dirty Pretty Things album?

Amazon is selling the M. Ward disc.
I have the DPT album. I played it a couple times and it's already fading. If you liked the Libertines, this will be appealing.

Iron Maiden's new album came out yesterday. Was hoping to read some reviews before picking it up, but it's only 12 bucks at Borders so what the hell.
The M. Ward is definitely out, my local record shop has quite a few copies of it.

The new Blind Guardian came out on Tuesday. Hell, yes.

Thanks ggw. Didn't realize that Magnolia Electric Co's new album came out today. Looks like I'll have to pick that up along with TVotR after work. Though I doubt Best Buy will have MEC…

I think it's more of an "odds & ends" release than a proper album.
I am waiting for my preoder of the BK to arrive…

sounds like it

Jason Molina is not one to settle. Throughout his musical career of 12 plus years under his given name, Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co., he has lived in 9 different locations and has had a dozen different backing bands on record in as many different recording environments.

Fading Trails represents 3 of these incarnations and 4 of these environments. Composed of recording sessions Molina and company did with Steve Albini at his Electric Audio Studio, David Lowery at his Sound of Music Studio, and at the famous Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, Fading Trails also features songs from the home recorded Shohola sessions. The essence of these recordings were extracted to create one cohesive being and thus defining what Magnolia Electric Co. truly is. Something that is hard to define. One head, multiple bodies…the opposite of a hydra head.
