oh yeah, i forgot about longwave. and oooh new elbow, brmc, & fruit bats. i would be looking forward to the new royskopp, but after hearing that one single, no thanks.

but most importantly i will reiterate that i am looking forward to wolf parade's debut album.

Boo Radleys might actually get their due.

Glad to see a date on the new ELBOW, can't wait.

FUCK! Super Furry Animals is getting delayed, I have to see if this is correct.

I nabbed that Son Volt on Usenet a couple weeks ago and it bored me almost to the point of swallowing my own tongue.

of everything listed here so far, only elbow has caught my eye.

The only CD that I know for sure I'll be buying in the near future is TSAR's "Band-Girls-Money" here in a couple weeks.

Couldn't find an image for that one. I just went to their site and heard the title track, though, which sounded sorta generic pop/punk. I got worry.

Well, the title track is the weakest song of the 4-5 tracks from the album I've heard already...so I'm still keepin' my fingers crossed.

The new stuff is definitely more raw/less plush & polished, though.

New Pornographers and Built to Spill in late August early Sept.

Sir Dark Invader vs. The Fanglord

i like richard buckner. who is jon langford?

He's the leader of the Mekons. I didn't know about this collaboration. The thought of it makes my nipple hard.

You're kidding.

I think, I think Lightning Bolt is slated for sometime this fall, hopefully, fuck. Called Frenzy, it's apparently comprised of all improvized material. Sounds like a great concept, now give it to me. Of all the above-mentioned releases, this is the only one that excites me.

Wasn't there mention of a new ANIMAL COLLECTIVE album in the late summer?
And that BJORK soundtrack might be interesting.
Ooh, ooh, I'm dying to hear the IRON & WINE/CALEXICO collabo.

I don't know if any of these are summer.

Good. This means I can catch up on shit I have bought over the past 2 seasons but haven't had time to listen to.

This could be good.

Although not "new" releases, I think there are some more Can reissues coming out this summer.

On the Arts & Crafts front:

Jason Collett - Idols of Exile (out tomorrow)

The Most Serene Republic - Underwater Cinematographer (out around the end of June)

Also,

Sons And Daughters - The Repulsion Box (August 9)

and

Fountains of Wayne b-side comp (June 28)

I'm excited about Fruit Bats, Sufjan Stevens, and Royksopp. Missy should provide some good radio fodder, and I might also check hout the Starfish remaster.

Looks like The New Pornographers will rule college radio this season, though.

south pacific · **Posted:** Tue Jun 14, 2005 2:04 am

Also expected this summer:

The Posies (6/28: Rykodisc)
Ladytron
Goldfrapp

The Neins Circa Sunday Anthems*
[img][200:200]http://www.theneinscirca.ca/images/the-neins-circa-CD-cover.jpg[/img]

The Neins Circa are the first signing to AC Newman's new label Blue Curtain. The album itself is a lotta fun, full of spazzy pop and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. RIYL: the New Pornographers, Destroyer on Prozac

And I can't find any artwork - or even an album title - but I just saw that Flophouse Jr. finally has a new album due. Their last one (Hour Glass House) made my 2002 top 20, and I'm hoping for great things this time around. RIYL: the mellow sides of Sparklehorse and Wilco

*Balls Mahoney won't be interested in this one cuz nobody's ever heard of the band before.

Dudes... the Duke Spirit - Cuts Across the Land (!)

I'm not sure what the deal is in the States, but here in Canaduh, it's only available on import at the moment.

But man, I heard it at work and it's going to kick your rump around town.

Cary Mercer fronts Frog Eyes, I know that.

Carolyn Mark = one half of the Corn Sisters. Neko Case is the other half.
Carey Mercer = Frog Eyes
Luke Doucet = Veal (I think I sent Haq either a Veal album or a Doucet solo album)
Corb Lund = ex of Edmontonian punk band the Smalls (now gone country in the Corb Lund Band)
Ford Pier = kinda preeminent Vancouver via Boston, Mass. legend (ex- Jr. Gone Wild, ex-DOA, ex-a whole buncha others)
Amy Honey = Clover Honey, a Vancouver indie band. She just put out a solo album that sounds a lot like a Carolyn Mark album.
Geoff Berner = solo artist, mostly just him and his accordion, responsible for "We All Gotta Be A Prostitute Sometimes" as well as "Clown & Bard", which Jolie Holland has been dropping in her live sets.
