Scratch Acid – The Greatest Gift (Touch And Go)
I wasn’t sure that I wanted to see them next week but the first half, representing the S/T and Just Keep Eating LPs are awfully hard to ignore.
Dum Dum Girls – Only In Dreams (Sub Pop)
This album reminds me of all the best parts of the Go-Go’s and Bangles combined. This just jumped into my year end top 5.
Florence + The Machine – Ceremonials (EMI)
I’m a little new to her and I’m ashamed.
Bonnie “Prince” Billy – Wolfroy Goes To Town (Drag City)
Check my full review for details.
Jane’s Addicition – The Great Escape Artist (Capitol)
Full review here
Bass Drum Of Death – “I Dunno,” (NYR)
Great young band’s new track.
Boogie Monster – “Born Free,” (Needs More Ram)
Awesome Canadian noise rock band that, if you haven’t checked them out yet, you should die. Too strong? This is their cover of the M.I.A. track.
Megadeth – Th1rt3en (Roadrunner)
Is 13 unlucky? Sorta, kinda. But there’s some tracks to enjoy. Full review is available.
Sorry about the Hot Topic thing.
Atlas Sound – Astro Creep: 2000 (Geffen)
Please read my review of Bradford Cox’s latest.
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – S/T (Sour Mash)
And, once again in response to my friend Hector, I do Like Oasis.
