new cast album...there are 3 words i thought i would never ever hear again in a sentence!

new gang of four! new wire album is excellent! out january.

This one's also on my list. Can't really say i liked "Let England Shake" too much when i first heard it, but it grew on me. "Written in the Forehead" is great, and there is also another little jewel that she hung on her website just a few hours ago, i guess:

"The Last Living Rose"

I'm really looking forward to this as well as anything Sonic Youth is planning to grace us with.

I think Cat Power is recording a new back to basics kind of record, and there's rumors there's gonna be a new Fiona Apple album! (insert fanboy-smiley here)
Will definitely check those out too if they actually get released.

Also, Low's new album should be out in the spring. Nels Cline has contributed some guitars. It's been a long while since "Drums and Guns". So pumped about this one.

I'm mostly excited about the Threelobed box set (side long tracks from Sonic Youth, Comets on Fire, Bardo Pond, Sun City Girls,....) but all of these are on my to check out/purchase list:

Threelobed 10th anniversary 4LP box set - Not The Spaces You Know, But Between Them
Der Teenage Panzerkorps - German Reggae
Sonic Youth - SYR9
Six Organs of Admittance - Asleep on the Floodplain
Tim Hecker - Ravedeath, 1972
new White Hills
new Pink Reason


Can't think of anything else right now.

tyler the creator "GOBLIN"
lil wayne "THA CARTER 4"
kanye & jay-z's album
