The Shins - Wincing The Night Away

February 6th:
Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City

here's a very useful link...

btw, will be buying both of those. can't wait for a proper copy of the Bloc Party. such a great album.

sticky!

i second the motion. sticky it so it can be ignored all year.

So basically, by the time the new LCD Soundsystem comes out for real I will be entirely sick of it and will have moved on in my life.

Autumn Defense has a new one coming in January that I just pre-ordered.

I banned myself from listening to any leaked '07 releases (anymore) until I settle my '06 list.

But so far The Shins and Menomena are early front-runners.

1/23:
Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?

Oh boy am I excited for that new Of Montreal. I heard a song from it on paperthinwalls.com, and it was everything I'd hoped for and more.

oh, that Menomena is 2007? Guess that explains why I havent seen it on people's lists. Pretty decent album though.

Don't forget, new Stooges album on March 20!

Don't you dare.

I love how they have a "source" for the new G 'n R. That got a laugh out of me.

2007 is looking like a solid year for releases. January starts off with a bang with new CYHSY, Deerhoof, Of Montreal and Shins. Last year the only talked about release in January was The Strokes I think.

heard the shins. a little disappointed, but i'll revisit that once i buy a real copy. heard some of the Of Montreal, made me think of their 2nd-to-last album. i'm waiting til 2007 to hear deerhoof and hope cyhsy comes to emusic (along with deerhoof & of montreal).

The 1st thing I'm stoked for is Lucinda Williams on 2/13

Then

3/6 El-p and Son Volt
3/20 Ted Leo and maybe the Stooges

Then the rest of the year... Arcade Fire, Cannibal Ox, Dino Jr., Fountains Of Wayne, Doves, Interpol, Mad Villian, Magnetic Fields, Les Savvy Fav, MIA, Modest Mouse, The Natural, New Pornographers, QUOTSA, RADIOHEAD !!!!!, Roxy Music(original line up w/Eno..yikes), Shellac(finally!)Spritualized, Spoon (psyched FT ?),Velvet Revolver(yes I love em'), WILCO and WRENS !!!

Peace

DBT-A Blessing and A Curse

Pop Levi "The Return to Form Black Magick Party" 2/20
TTC "36 15 TTC" (2/20)
Amon Tobin "Foley Room" (3/6)
Cinematic Orchestra "Ma Fleur" (4/4)

I've heard that about Shins but I'm still excited about it. I haven't listened to Deerhoof or Of Montreal in the past but know they are big releases. If they show up on eMusic I'll likely grab them. If not, I won't unless I hear good things.

The rest of the year looks promising but so does every year before it actually comes. If Wilco and Radiohead actually release albums, this will mark the biggest year of music in recent memory for me. The fact that Dinosaur Jr and Arcade Fire are coming out with new material automatically makes 2007 a better year than the last two.

Supposedly we get a new Spoon album and a Britt Daniel solo album. If this actually happens + Radiohead + Deerhoof + Arcade Fire + Madvillain...

May 07 - Gutter Twins (Greg Dulli / Mark Lanegan project)

MASSIVE ATTACK

originally scheduled for march release, now late 2007.

that's all.

this could shape up to be a big year if all this sh|t comes out and make for a tough decision if past album-of-the-year winners wilco, radiohead and modest mouse all put out in 2007. don't touch my saliva.

Absolutely! Also psyched for that Ted Leo.

New NIN sometime in 2007, the album is already finished.

probably only a couple people will be interested, but bobby conn has a new one in february. he's calling it his don quixote. it's sitting on my coffee table. i really should get around to listening to it.
