Sneak Peaks: Upcoming Album Releases 11-19-21 – 11-25-21
Adele, 30 – this is a huge album and while I don’t have high hopes, I think it will be to 25 what “Easy On Me” is to “Hello”, it should still be a fascinating exercise is product placement – MOST ANTICIPATED OF THE WEEK
Bahamas, Live To Tape: Volume II – he has only one great song, “Opening Act,” but it is one of the greatest songs of all time. I’m not kidding. And he has my attention and patience because of that.
Ben LaMar Gay – Open Arms to Open Us
Body/Dilloway/Head, Body/Dilloway/Head – Kim’s latest attempt to replace Thurston
Brian Wilson, At My Piano – if ever a man deserved to return again and again to his catalog, that man is Brian Wilson. Everything I’ve heard has been lovely
Clams Casino, Winter Flower – the hip hop producer, wasn’t crazy about the single
Converge, Bloodmoon: I
Deap Vally. Marriage
Dion, Stomping Ground – i got cancelled big time when I called David Fricke a hack after Rolling Stone -union busting assholes, canned him… my real ire was at the Wenners but whatever. I think even Marshall Crenshaw cancelled me. So let’s see if I can make it even worse: Hey Dion, shut up and sing “Runaround Sue”. I’m not being entirely ill mannered, the singles are horrible, the featured list ridiculous
Elbow, Flying Dream 1 – a new album by Guy and the Guys, I have high hopes as the title track is a beauty
Holy Other, Lieve
Jessica Moss, Phosphenes
Jessy Lanza, DJ-Kicks
KAYTRANADA, Intimidated
Oasis, Knebworth 1996 – yes, but where is the damn movie?
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Raise The Roof – hmmm, I wasn’t crazy about the singles but the first album was great
Schoolly D, Cuz Schoolly D’s Crazy – the original gangsta rapper returns
Simon And The Island, Simon And The Island – debut solo LP from The Strumbellas’ Simon Ward
Smile, Phantom Island
Sting, The Bridge – he is like an ex who you just can’t forgive. The single is quite good and it is also Sting? Can we let bygones be bygones?
The Darkness, Motorheart
