Tis a very exciting year for new albums being released. This is what you all should buy.
First and foremost, Radiohead are releasing a new album at some point between now and Christmas. As this is Radiohead this almost certainly will be the most important record released all year for music in general. I'm glad I don't know the release date, because not unlike Christ coming back1, I'd spend the weeks beforehand literally2 dying of anticipation.
Other very exciting releases, but perhaps less important for the state of humanity, are the following: Idlewild release "Make Another World", 65daysofstatic release something as yet untitled, The Cooper Temple Clause release "Make This Your Own (in just over a week, JOY), Malcolm Middleton releases "A Brighter Beat" and by far and away most excitingly (apart from Radiohead obviously) Biffy Clyro release an as yet untitled (I think) new album. That reads as a list of all my favourite bands, all of them releasing new stuff. I'd like to think they held a convention where they decided to make me really happy. I also like to think that one day I'll get super powers, but that's another insanely unrealistic story.
1 It's not like Christ coming back as well. It's a lot less like not like Christ coming back than it is not unlike Christ coming back really, but it's hyperbole and hyperbole is fun.
2 Not literally literally obviously.
I'm seeing them in London, if you can get down you're welcome to stay over (probably, depending on where I live). You're welcome to stay over Rhi's anyway.
You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!
A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.
