OK...let's have 'em.

I imagine there will be releases from Panda Bear and Burial this year. I hope so anyway.

Wanda Jackson
Diamond Dogs

Lucinda Williams – Blessed (March 1)
Hayes Carll – KMAG YOYO (February 15)
My Morning Jacket (TBA)
Iron and Wine – Kiss Each Other Clean (January 25)
Middle Brother (TBA, March 2011)

Def interested in these.

Some others I'm sure I'll check out:

Todd Snider
PJ Harvey
The Strokes
The Low Anthem
Wilco
REM
The Black Lips

Some I'm morbidly curious about:

radiohead
The Wrens
Social Distortion
Gang of Four
Wire

Kanye and Jay-Z - Watch the Throne
The Streets
Pusha T
Santogold

Already leaked. It's actually quite good. Little mellower than I expected and a tad more tuneful. It's not my kind of thing, but I imagine it'll make a fair number of Top 20 lists a year from now.

Man Man

it's been a few years since The Residents and Sonic Youth have released albums, so I have high hopes on those fronts, too.

Destroyer - Kaputt (January 25)

Didn't that Social D album already come out? I swear I read something about an album this year. I even remember the review saying it was a little too slick, but pretty good.

Also, a Strokes album will top my list of anticipation and disappointments most likely. Lucinda and mmj would be must hears.

I believe I read that the Social D album will be out in January.

The Decemberists - The King is Dead (January 18)
Cut Copy - Zonoscope (February 8)

The Dirtbombs - Party Store (February 1)
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (February 15)
Drive By Truckers - Go Go Boots (February 15)
Bright Eyes - The People's Key (February 15)
Devotchka - 100 Lovers (February 15)
Toro Y Moi - Underneath the Pine (February 22)
J. Mascis - Several Shade of Why (March 15)
The Mountain Goats - All Eternals Deck (March 29)

Looks like the Strokes album is coming out some time in March.

According to Pitchfork, January-March...

Nicole Atkins - Mondo Amore

absolutely LOVE this album.

looking forward to a new Boards Of Canada album.

Wrens
Trail of Dead (like the new single)
Low

They play the single on outlaw country. Her voice sounds as good as ever.

With a title like that this had better be a return to form and not some more of that delicate piano shit she's been doing lately.

Wanda Jackson
Gang of Four
J Mascis
Ron Sexsmith
Lucinda Williams
Marianne Faithfull
Dean Owens
Norman Blake (probably only interesting to tentoze and I)

Twilight Singers. Duh.

Kurt Vile
Man Man
Wanda Jackson
maybe the Mountain Goats?

Are Man Man and Low definitely putting out new records, or are those just hopes?

Looking forward to the Deerhoof album at the end of this month, and I may check out the new Wire and Gang of Four records. I'm sure the Wire record will be decent at the very least, but I don't know about GoF. I'll probably want to hear the new Akron/Family, and I'll check out that James Blake album once it's officially released.

Has the Battles album been totally nixed since Tyondai left the band? I haven't seen anything else about it.

Low and Man Man are definitely coming out this Spring. I think they're both coming in April from what I've heard. I got a chance to hear the Low record recently and its a bit more direct than the last one. Really really great stuff.

Sarah Vowell - Unfamiliar Fishes

shit, that means it'll be like August by the time the audiobook comes out and I listen to that...
