A new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album is always something I look forward to. I was excited to get the album but my hopes were too high for it. As a whole, not their best work, but there are a lot of tracks that get my blood flowing, particularly "Mosquito."
Those of you who have been to Coachella know what a chore it is. It's partly fun and mostly terrible. I went to Coachella for this band because well, I love them. Suede has a new album out and I can't stop listening. The sad girl in me will forever be devoted to Suede. Oh, and it is SUEDE and not this bullshit The London Suede crap.
Then there is Johnny Marr. I'll be honest, I'm a huge Morrissey/The Smiths fan (you'd know that if you got all of my references on my blog) and nothing sounds as amazing as Morrissey's lovely singing voice and even better- his lyrics. I was a little put off when I heard Johnny Marr was releasing another album where he sings, I mean, Electronic and The Healers were cool but it's no Morrissey and much less The Smiths. I walked into this album expecting to not be phased by it but here I am, humming along to "The Right Thing Right."
I need to read more.
I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. There's not enough good, new music for me. I've found myself grabbing for the older stuff, like Cracker's Kerosene Hat and Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes (both from the early 90's). The newest thing I bought lately was Bob Mould's Silver Age, but he's from an 80's punk band (Husker Du).
ReplyDeleteMy go-to "old" albums are still mostly Morrissey, Oasis or Cat Power. Timeless stuff.
DeleteThanks for some good songs! I love Suede :) Also, yeah, that Johnny Marr is very nice.
ReplyDeleteMost recently, I've been getting into Alt-J's An Awesome Wave...even though it's been out for like a year and it might be kind of pretentious :)
I've heard so much about Alt-J and have never listened to their stuff. I'll have to trust your taste and check it out!
