Besides the obvious Shins, I'm excited for Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Orchestra. Bizarre concept:

Quote:

We Are All From Somewhere Else is comprised of 3 distinct sections, and corresponds to a story involving an exploding star, cosmic transformation, a sting ray, the travels of the sting ray, intelligent conversations with electric eels, the destructive power of humans, the death and ascension of sting ray, the transformation of sting ray ghost to flying bird, and the transformation of bird to phoenix to rocket to flying burning matter to a new-born star.

Avant-garde fans should give a listen to the clips at the link above - pretty intriguing stuff. I've got my copy on the way.

Book one ---- the voyage
Prologue

In the constellation of cygnus
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
The black hole
Of cygnus x-1

Six stars of the northern cross
In mourning for their sisters loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night....

1
Invisible
To telescopic eye
Infinity
The star that would not die

All who dare
To cross her course
Are swallowed by
A fearsome force

Through the void
To be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized ---- at the core
Or through the astral door ----
To soar....

2
I set a course just east of lyra
And northwest of pegasus
Flew into the light of deneb
Sailed across the milky way

On my ship, the rocinante
Wheeling through the galaxies,
Headed for the heart of cygnus
Headlong into mystery

The x-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the black hole ----
Gains control....

3
Spinning, whirling,
Still descending
Like a spiral sea,
Unending

Sound and fury
Drowns my heart
Every nerve
Is torn apart....

To be continued

Oh shit, I did not know about this.

Already picked up:

Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity
Menomena - Friend and Foe
Animal Collective - People EP

Really liking the Menomena for the most part although some of these songs towards the middle seem a little weaker than the opening tracks.

I did not know that Animal Collective had a new EP out today...thanks Drinky! I also forgot about that Exploding Star Orchestra. I checked it out on paperthinwalls (which is becoming one of my fav music sites) and I liked it a lot.

It was their Australian tour EP from last year, comprised of outtakes from Feels. I haven't gotten to listen to it yet, but it seemed fairly reasonably-priced for an EP ($7) so I decided to pick it up. It's only 4 tracks, and the 4th track is a live version of the 1st track so my expectations aren't too high.

i saw elsewhere that it was 1/23. eh i don't care because i forked over the cash for the friken import.

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Tue Jan 23, 2007 5:38 pm

The bonus track ("Reeboks in Heaven") on the US version of Fujiya & Miyagi is not very good, IMO.

And I think puma agrees that the cover on the US version kinda sucks.

Still, I'm sure it'll be significantly cheaper than the import.

oh i didn't know exploding star orchestra came out today too. thats a pretty great record
