Will the new Portishead album ever come out?

New STOOGES album in March.

i'm holding my breath LOL

i hope acid mothers temple would release less albums, i still can't decide which one was best in 2006. hopefully they'll release something as the incredible strange band though.

I've found a fantastic video of their signature tune(pink lady lemonade) the other week.I don't think that Portishead would put a good new record out anyway.The Beth and him from Talk Talk album is,like,Wow!,though.My Bloody Valentine couldn't possibly put a new record out because Kevin Shields's stroke of genius was never meant to be a lasting one.They started shit,got good and expired their already limited capabilities like musicians with poor stamina and limited ideas do.

Despite Chris Cohen being out, I like some of the guitar tones on the new Deerhoof, and it's good overall, but Milk Man and The Runners Four are both better. The songs aren't as cohesive on the new one. This is despite the arrangements being even perhaps more "conventional" really. Love the ostinato riffage though. One blemish is that, for some reason, Saunier sounds a bit strained to me on most of the new one.

Deerhoof came through here last year and are coming again in February. They start off their tour this time in Japan with OOIOO and then head over to L.A. with Hella.

Yo La Tengo are coming here in Feb. Acid Mothers Temple are coming here in April. Trans Am too.

I'd love to see Acid Mothers Temple live. YLT also, but much prefer acid mothers....any tour dates on their website??

There'll surely be some new Birchville Cat Motel album's this year that I will purchase and enjoy. I'm also looking forward to the new Pink Reason album.

I hope at least one of those albums sounds different.

atari mentioned trans am. im listening to an advance copy of their new one at the moment. its really good. its totally changed direction halfway thru, its like a derailed train struggling to keep up speed going thru a muddy field, uphil.

jeez, the album is better than what that last statement makes it sound..
god im fucking hungover still. time to turn off pc before the bullshit gets filled with even more type-os and .................................................. ........

indeed, the last time i listened to a leaked album i was bitterly depressed, because the record was awful (rather ripped)

That gets so very expensive though.

well i'm not going to buy CDs this year anyway (unless their are special circumstances) due to being on the verge of financial ruin. i'm only allowed to buy only 7"s and tapes for the next 12 months.

Bowels,can i expect to bump into you in record shop basements then?

I've been doing that myself for the last couple of months. Budgeting with my music buying. Its sort of a downer. But I don't miss the asshole record store workers.

possibley

Paul Metzger is gonna have a cassette out on Freedom From soon. I'll totally hook you up.
Plastic guitar this time!

Some rumors I've heard:

JAMC reunion
new Pixies album
My Bloody Valentine follow up on Loveless

Also,

New HOLE record
Nirvana reuniting
HOAP soundtrack

I heard the same ones as well! And plus Dr.Dre's Detox finally has another release date on it (for the 10,000th time). Click

JAMC reunion would be supercool! but although i'm a big fan of pixies and MBV i hope those 2 last things don't happen... or they should use another name for their new products.

and i don't really believe in that new MBV record anyway, but if they'd only release that boxset of old material...
