First half has been pretty flat to me. I'm all about waiting for this right now:

Right now my big ones are:

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:39 pm

New Ganglians and Male Bonding in August, and I guess I'm a little interested in the new Wilco. Otherwise the outlook is bleak.

Of course I'm sure there will be some pleasant surprises.

Cymbals Eat Guitars
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (mildy interested to see if they can regain what made the 1st album so good)
Fruit Bats
The Horrors
M83
Modest Mouse (are the good times really over?)
The Rapture
Laura Marling
Sharon Van Etten
Neon Indian
Real Estate

2nd the new Male Bonding

Also, morbidly curious to hear the new Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay albums.

you've heard this, right? It's not bad, it's just Echo & the Bunnymen making out with anyshoegazebandUK. Not much originality.

The Missing Monuments (we're talking about King Louie, right?) album is out and it's great.

Björk should be in that category as well.

Medúlla and Volta had my fandom waning.

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Thu Jul 14, 2011 4:40 pm

I liked Medulla at the time, but it's aged really badly. Never even bothered with Volta.

Yes on King Louie. And thanks for the tip - I'll have to go have a look around innernetland myself.

Why do we even have a Twenty Ten thread anymore?

Yeah, that sucker died hard after magiska went private.

Myself, there's a Manvils EP coming out soon and possibly a Hip album this fall. Really want to hear the new Arkells as well.

shiv · **Posted:** Thu Jul 14, 2011 6:47 pm

hopefully a new Future Of The Left album.

I still like Medúlla and as for Volta, after so many great albums, one not bad but not great album isn't enough for me to move her to the "regain their form" category yet. Fingers crossed.

The volcano probably reinvigorated her

Hoping that Watch the Throne with Jay and Kanye is as good as it has the potential to be.

nobody · **Posted:** Fri Jul 15, 2011 8:29 am

I haven't really enjoyed Bjork since Vespertine, which I still love. Medulla and Volta were both pretty mediocre.

Sketch · **Posted:** Fri Jul 15, 2011 10:47 am

Seconds+ on Mastodon, Laura Marling, and Modest Mouse. I'm a bit meh on Wilco (rightly or wrongly) these days.

For the most part, I'll just see what shows up.

FT · **Posted:** Fri Jul 15, 2011 1:23 pm

Just saw today The Black Keys are whipping out a new album later this year. Another one with Danger Mouse at the helm.

There's apparently a new album by the Weight coming out this summer. you can listen to a couple of the songs here. It's listed as already out but I can't seem to find anyone that has it [refuse to buy from itunes]

Also, new Warren Zanes out in a few weeks.

Anticipating for second half of 2011?
