The week before Thanksgiving and the last big week of new releases. There will be more releases over the next three weeks, but not as big as this one (in numbers, not necessarily quality). There are a handful I will give a spin and they will be highlighted in Blue as usual. Let me know what interests you or what I might have missed. Now next Friday there are new releases, but it is also Record Store Day Black Friday, so hopefully some I can grab…until then.
Coldplay – Everyday Life – (Parlophone Records / Warner Music): I will admit, I hold hopes out that they will release something as good as ‘Parachute’ again. So, this will get a spin to see what they bring to the table this time. My hopes aren’t too high.
Beck – Hyperspace – (Fonograf Records / Capitol): Okay, it’s Beck…why would he not get a spin? His quirkiness is always welcome even if not always appreciated.
Charm City Devils – 1904 E.P. – (John Allen): I dig the guys from Charm City Devils, so an album or an E.P. are always welcome. The hard rock band out of Maryland has been around 10 years now (album wise that is) so I want more of their brand of music.
And the rest…some might get picked, like Junkyard, but time will tell…
Junkyard – Old Habits Die Hard – (Acetate Records)
Rod Stewart – You’re in My Heart: Rod Stewart (with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
Depeche Mode – MODE (18CDs) – (Rhino / Warner Bros)
Jimi Hendrix – Songs For Groovy Children: The Fillmore East Concerts (Live) – (Experience Hendrix / Sony)
Leonard Cohen – Thanks for the Dance – (Sony Music)
Grateful Dead – Ready or Not (Live) – (Rhino)
Harry Nilsson – Losst and Founnd – (Omnivore Records)
Jason Aldean – 9 – (Macon Music / Broken Bow Records)
Luke Evans – At Last – (BMG Music)
Lindemann – F & M – (Vertigo Berlin / Universal)
Robbie Williams – The Christmas Present – (Columbia Records)

Isn’t there a new Who album too? I’m not that excited but it’s kind of noteworthy.

No problem. I didn’t realize until after I had the post done and then had to fix.

Not too much going on in the new release department here this week John! Which is good as I still have stuff to get caught up with like that Foreigner album from last week.

Pretty slow week. I think I only have 3 more of these for the year before the releases dry up for about a month. I have to figure out what to write now.

I’m curious about the Rod Stewart, but it bugs me to see him “conducting” on the front cover. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know how to to do that?

I am sure he doesn’t. I am not in the mood today for any of the releases, so I don’t know when I will hear that one.

I need to fill some gaps in my Rod collection before I get there.

Maybe he’s been learning to conduct given he can’t sing anymore?

I was just reading about Coldplay there – they can’t be arsed touring, but saying it’s cause it’s not ‘environmentally beneficial’. Now, I’m fairly certain that there’s a bit of an impact on the environment through releasing product that involves plastic and paper, etc, but I’m guessing they still enjoy the money that they make.
Anyhoo, the good stuffs – Beck is super duper super interesting to me today and I’m also setting aside time for Nilsson’s Losst and Founnd. I also listened to Gabriel Birnbaum’s Not Alone earlier and was really impressed (I discovered that one over at Complex Distractions).

Now I don’t want to listen to the album as that is the dumbest thing I have heard. The physical product is way worse than their touring for the environment. I think.

Craziest statement they could have made. Cause yeah, the physical product and streaming has quite the footprint.

I haven’t invested in a Coldplay or Beck album in 10 years or so – and I agree about the excellence of Parachutes & the wonderful quirkiness of Beck!

I bought a compilation LP called Space Funk which came out on Friday, lots of interesting groovy things.

Space Funk! That sounds intriguing.

Lots of cheap 1970’s space noises dotted around, it has great cover art but is pretty variable.

I like the sound of the Charm City Devils. Might have to explore further.
