The 2013 Music Thread

You know that dreadful Passengers guy in the top 10 right now? I once paid him £30 to do play a support slot at a gig and about fifteen people turned up.

[Jimmy]

Sounds like you're jealous, Andy.

[METALMAN]

Probably am, but he's still shit. :/

I mean, really. Fuck off. :/

Tesseract. I may have found the album to knock Bad Religion from its perch.

[Chris the Human]

I'm not gay, but I'm excited to listen to John Mayer's new album next month.

Paper Doll sounds a little less folksy than his Born and Raised stuff, so I'm hopeful he's found a better middle ground between his sugary early stuff and his less accessible blues & roots stuff.

I haven't listened to Bad Religion's album. But I've been listening to Tesseract's and, well, good choice!

[METALMAN]

New Duckworth Lewis is okay but nothing instantly grabs me in the way their last album did.

I saw him on Buzzcocks. He was alright there, but I don't think I'd ever listen to his music from the 10 seconds they showed of it.

"True North" is pretty much as good as mainstream punk is going to get right now. A bit of snarl, some polish, trademark BR harmony. Doesn't hurt that every track on there is a keeper.

I'm looking for more of the blues and roots stuff. I don't think I'm going to be getting it.

New Arcade Fire album out on October 29th.

[SRN]

So the Scott Walker Facebook page just got updated with this. And a message saying "More info soon".

Any ideas? As much as I want a follow up to Bisch Bosch already, I highly doubt that given his track record of album releases. Maybe it has to do with that big reissue box? A tour perhaps?

[Skummy]

He's talked about touring a little over the past couple of years, but that's even less likely than a new album so quickly, I'd have thought.

I believe the reissue box is already out...though mine is a review copy that I received early, so maybe it hasn't had a wider release yet? I'm pretty sure it has, though.

I'm going to hazard a guess that it's a collaboration of some sort, or else a follow-up to the "Tilting & Drifting" concert.

[SRN]

Yeah, it appears that the box is already out. Uh, this has me excited!

[METALMAN]

Maybe he is going to smile.

You can stream Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes new album here and it's fantastic.

Anyone got recommendations for Sunday? I am pretty much just winging it except for Bombino and Beck.

[tristy]

definitely check out Lord Huron. Beth Orton & Black Prairie are good, too.

[livid]

Andrew Bird would be pretty good. Matthew Kiwanuka too, probably.
