Welcome to March and Friday New Releases. There is not a ton of new stuff, but hopefully there is something for you. I have a few I will try out, but not super excited about anything. My choices are highlighted in Blue. Leave a comment and let me know if there is anything that you would like or something I missed (which I am sure I missed a lot).
Andrew W.K. – You’re Not Alone – (Bee & El/Sony): Here is someone we haven’t heard in a long, long while. I am looking forward to explore what he has in store. It is can usually be fun, strange, or who knows what, however, it is usually interesting.
Michael Schenker Fest – Resurrection – (Nuclear Blast): This should be an very interesting release as well. The guest list is quite impressive and any Schenker fan will love. Guest appearances by Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, Wayne Findlay and Michael Voss-Schön along with contributions from three original MSG singers – Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet and Robin McAuley. Plus Doogie White is on it, who plays with Michael in Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock.
Marco Mendoza – Viva La Rock – (Mighty Music)
MercyMe – I Can Only Imagine: The Very Best of MercyMe – (MercyME)
Moby – Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt – (Little Idiot)
The Breeders – All Nerve – (4AD)
Joan Baez – Whistle Down the Wind – (Razor & Tie Recordings)
Tech N9ne – Planet – (Strange Music)

I was all set to go get me a Breeders album this weekend but I heard the second single and was kind of underwhelmed. I might get AWK instead.

Another week with nowt much for me to be excited about (if anything, actually). I’ll check out Moby and Andrew WK, but can’t say I’m actually all that fussed.

It is a rather lackluster week. The next three weeks have a lot of stuff for me.

For the 16th, I have ordered the new STP. And the 23rd, Kip Winger’s Solo Box Set is on pre-order. There are others I am interested in, but those I have already bought.

I listened to the couple of the STP tracks that are available, but I didn’t think much of them. They should have gone with a vocalist who brought something new to the table, cause he just sounds like he’s trying to fit into Weiland’s shadow (doesn’t help that he was moving around like Weiland in the live clip I saw). That said, I’d probably like the stuff if Weiland was singing… cause musically they’re still a great band.

I think it is the music that still drives me to it. The songs sound like STP. Another reason I still follow is my Brother in Law is the sound engineer on the album.

I really like the new AWK album. I find it balances the energy of I Get With with the theatrics of Close Calls With Brick Walls. The only parts I didn’t enjoy were the spoken word bits because they brought the party to a stop. I’ve met Andrew WK a couple times and partied on stage with him once, and it sounds like he’s genuinely having fun on this record.

You aren’t the first to say that and I don’t think I know anything by them. I just know of them.
