Yeah well. I’ve been a busy lad going out and doing fun things such as drinking beer, watching Queens of the Stone Age live at Leeds Uni, watching United win a lot. I’ve also been doing things which aren’t so much fun such as visiting hospitals, working and sleeping but they’re necessary evils and there is sod all I can do about them.<\/p>\n

In other news, musically this year is shaping up just fine. There are a few new releases over the next couple of months, which if you don’t check out, you’re missing out.<\/p>\n

Out this week is the long awaited Saturnalia album from The Gutter Twins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"A dark, brooding, swirling mass of gothic guitar, collaboration between The Afghan Whigs Greg Dulli and everyone’s favourite whiskey drenched Leonard Cohen alike hired gun Mark Lanagen.<\/p>\n

You can hear the brilliance in it’s entirity onine<\/a> but not sure for how long though.<\/p>\n

Next week, 10\/03\/08, sees the UK release of MGMT’s<\/a> debut, Oracular Spectacular;<\/p>\n

\"\"Can the album meet the expectations set out by the “Flaming Lips-on-acid” single Time to Pretend though?<\/p>\n

<\/object>Also out on the 10th is Hercules and Love Affair.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"New York based DJ Andy Butler pulls in Anthony (and the JOhnsons) Hegarty and Tim Goldsworty (of DFA<\/a> and LCD Soundsystem<\/a>) to create a sound with more than a nod to 70s Disco. Lead single Blind gives you a taster of what to expect…<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/div>\n

The 24th of March ushers in a couple of noteworthy releases. Firstly, oddly monikerd young noisy electro upstarts Does It Offend You, Yeah?<\/a> release their debut album, You Have No Idea What You’re Getting Yourself Into.<\/p>\n

\"\"Expect more noise in the same vein as We Are Rockstars.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/div>\n

I’ll be going to see them at Leeds Cockpit on the 28th so expect some photos and shit. See you there?<\/p>\n

Second release, is new album Diamond Hoo Ha from old hands Supergrass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"A return to the upbeat old Supergrass following 2006 expectedly low-key underated Road to Rouen. New track Bad Blood would suggest that’s the battle plan;<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/div>\n

Also, props must go to United in seeing off Lyon to progress through to the next stage of the Champions League. Is this year a repeat of 99? Heres hoping….<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
