About the time I hit a music rut and start consistently spinning through my iPod like a hamster in a wheel, looking for something – ANYTHING – worth listening to, I scan the list of “upcoming releases” and see a glut of promising new albums in the next two months.
The National, New Pornographers, Josh Ritter, Mynabirds, Black Keys, Jeremy Messersmith, Broken Social Scene, Stars, Everest, Gaslight Anthem, Rufus Wainwright, Damien Jurardo, Dinosaur Feathers, Band of Horses…Oh, and I’ve been wanting to catch up on more Stephen Malkmus and Wedding Present. That should last me a few months.
(I’ll do this as I check off items)
