OMG!! It is Friday the 13th!! And living up to it’s unlucky reputation, there is nothing really great coming out that I am super excited about except for Danny Gokey & Gotthard (highlighted in Blue). Since I am only interested in the, I will post a few videos for some of the others so you can get a taste of what is to come.
Danny Gokey – Rise – (BMG): Christian artist Danny Gokey is releasing his latest album today and it shows how much better he is growing as an artist. He started out on American Idol and has seem to found his place in music. His popularity in the Christian genre continues to grow and this album should help that grow even more.
Gotthard – Silver – (G. Records): Gotthard has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. I am looking forward to hearing this and have enjoyed the first single, “Stay With Me”.
Colony House – Only the Lonely – (RCA): The alternative band is back with the sophomore release.
The xx – I See You – (Young Turks Recordings)
The Flaming Lips – Oczy Mlldy – (The Flaming Lips)
Sepultura – Machine Messiah – (Nuclear Blast)
Accept – Restless & Live – (Nuclear Blast)
Gerry Rafferty – The Very Best of Gerry Rafferty – (Varese Sarabande)
Social Club Misfits – The Misadventures of Fern & Marty – (Social Club Misfits)
Hans Zimmer – The Classics – (Sony Music)
Rick Wakeman – Piano Portraits – (Write Notes)

The Flaming Lips album arrived today. It’s already received two spins… it got its hooks into me.

I will have to check them out. I have never really listened to them.

The Soft Bulletin or Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots are the most accessible if your looking to check an album out.

I know J was raving about the FLaming Lips earlier! Nothing here for me this week though the Accept might be near to have.

I thought Danny Gokey was one of the better American Idol contestants. Really like “Stay With Me” and will have to listen to more of Gotthard. “You and I” is great, as I like their Alt-rock sound, though the song sounds like it could have come from half a dozen similar bands. Like the Flaming Lips song a lot too. There’s just so much new music coming out all the time! I wish I had the time and energy to write a new review every single day.

And the year is just getting started. Next week has a few I am really interested in and might do some reviews on them. It is hard to get them all in.

Amazon, ITunes, facebook, google and various music sites. I just compile the ones I am interested in or know the bands and think people might be interested in as well.

The XX is the only one I want. Please have a copy of the vinyl sent straight to my house – that is how this works, isn’t it?

Ha, ha, ha. Nope. These are the wants I want everyone to send me each well. Good try though.

Of all these, I’d maybe say the Lips. But still not high priority for me… hm. I’m apparently in a different zone…

Nope, I am not a huge fan. I will listen to it to see if I understand what I might be missing.
