decemberists for me. and anything that sounds outstanding listed below...

Bloc Party?

Bloc Party Silent Alarm
- this has been growing on me the last couple weeks. possible first-day buy.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds B-Sides & Rarities [3xCD]
- probably wait for emusic

The Decemberists Picaresque
- my most anticipated release for the 22nd. but no good new prices around, so i'll wait for emusic at least at first.

Moby Hotel [2xCD]
- meh

Out Hud Let Us Never Speak Of It Again
- who recommends this? why? enquiring mind wants to know.

Prefuse 73 Surrounded By Silence
- like it but i'll probably wait for a used copy

Queens Of The Stone Age Lullabies to Paralyze
- from the first single and album reviews i've ready, i'll wait if not pass

Some of this has been out already
bloc party
lcd soundsystem
qotsa
doves
thunderbirds are now!
mars volta

Buying tomorrow:

m.i.a. - arular
prefuse 73 - surrounded by silence
new subtle album...maybe

Hold out until until used copies are available:

The 2 I really want:

Outhud- Let Us Never Speak of It Again
Mark Farina- Mushroom Jazz 5

interesting review: http://www.splendidmagazine.com/review. ... 8030201996

i might have to delve into this

Bought Beck, QOTSA, and Daft Punk today.

Doogie Howser M.D. Season 1 box set

Waited for the longuest time for this be released and tomorrow is the day. How sweet it is.

Simpsons Series 5 which is finally out this side of the Atlantic. I'm also interested in a compilation album....em....compiled by John Savage called 'Meridian 1970' so I'll probably show scant regard to my financial plight and buy that as well.

Don't think there's any new albums out that I much care for, March has been a completely barren month for me - not bought one in the last four weeks, just comps and older stuff.

That review looks enticing. Me like.

QOTSA
Trust Company

my least favorite of the 30 or so '05 releases i've heard thus far this year. not terrible...but close. bums me out because i love s.t.r.e.e.t. d.a.d. so much.

Definitely picking up Decemberists and Bloc Party. Might pick up the new Hella or Out Hud, too. I'm kinda conflicted about the latter, though.

I've been on a really tight budget, I have all the releases on mp3 already, the only one I might buy is probably going to be M.I.A.

I think I might buy God Of War on Ps2 though.

So wait. You're on a tight budget so you won't buy $12-13 cds, so instead you will buy a $50 ps2 game?

Care to elaborate with comparisons to S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D? I was all poised to buy this tomorrow, but you've made me hesitant...


I'm gonna get M.I.A. and possibly the new Radar Bros or Angels of Light (came out last week I think). I shouldn't really be buying anything after the spending binge I've been on this month.

well, in my opinion...this sounds nothing like their first one. it sounds like a bad imitation of the tom tom club to me (which the world really doesn't need, does it?). i guess the female vocals (which are on over half the tracks) really ruin it for me.

Bloc Party and Prefuse are defintley worth buying.

I just cant get into Moby anymore. My friend heard one track on the new record and said it was'nt bad but reminded him too much of Bowie/Ziggy Stardust (not that this is a bad thing, but come on already, its fucking MOBY).

QOTSA, do yourself a favor and pass on this. This record is just not good.

I have not heard one song from The Decemberists.
I've read nothing but kick ass things about them.
Are they that good are just too much hype?

This got a pretty good review on pitchfork. Who recommends this?

I wish there were $5.99 deals available ala Frances the Mute, I'd jump on a bunch of these albums.

- new timing belt for my car
- Bloc Party
- vegetarian burrito

I'm taking the day off.

I want to buy Bloc Party, Decemberists, Out Hud, Prefuse, MIA, etc. and some other shit I haven't picked up yet, I'm bad at stopping myself when I grab cds.

And I'll be trading in a game or two to help pay for God Of War, if I do indeed go to buy that.

Mars Volta and MLB 2K5

If the new QOTSA is selling for $6.99 like Songs for the Deaf did when it came out - I might pick it up. Aside from that, I'm really only interested in the new Decemberists.
