Thursday is new stuff day

Check it...

So much new music is on the way. Weezer's new album 'Make Believe' is out sometime in May (I think), check http://www.weezer.com for details. Ben Folds has a new album called 'Songs for Silverman' on the way. Gorillaz new album should be out soon. Sadly, they've dropped Dan the Automator (bastards!), but their new beatmaster is none other than the mighty DJ Dangermouse! The new single 'Feel Good' would be soooo much better if it weren't for the rather unfortunate resemblance to U2's (how much do they suck right now?) 'Staring at the Sun'.

The Bravery's self-titled debut was released this week. See if you can find some reference to them that doesn't mention the similarities to the Killers, the Cure and the Strokes - I dare you. Colin, you were the first person I heard that from, but definitely not the last. It's uncanny. I'll have to give them a listen before I say anything good or bad.

In other news, the Arcade Fire made it on to the cover of Canadian Time magazine, ay. Check out the full text here. It seems pretty much obligatory to rave about how amazingly good they are. insert rave here. Although for my part, 'Rebellion (Lies)' sounds like the Pixies to my ears. The rest of it sounds like My Bloody Valentine (so good! so good!) [hehehe!].

The Killers were playing live on tonight's episode of the O.C. and by live, I mean lip-synching really badly on stage. Still, it was cool that they made an appearance. All they need now is to get Death Cab and the Arcade Fire to make 'live' appearances... Excellent Smithers!

Oh yeah, Radiohead played a new track at a concert about a week back. It's called 'Arpeggi', try get hold of it.

I just read that Death Cab will be making an appearance on the O.C.

Stylee.

And all the damn indie kids are moaning, because heaven forbid other people might like the same music as them. And damn any of the bands they listen to if they ever manage to breakthrough to a wider audience. And here I was thinking that bands got together so that only small numbers of elitist monkies would listen to their music.
