Everyday should be Tuesday
Every Tuesday like clockwork the record companies deem us worthy of receiving the latest in rock ’n’ roll technology.
… And we like good sheep gobble it up.
This week we are force fed the long awaited / feared Pharrell Williams solo effort, In My Mind. Pharrell tries to become Kanye, when what really Pharrell should be focusing on is just being Pharrell… Unless this is Pharrell being Pharrell… in which case he should try to be Kanye. Producers will never stop getting greedy and trying for the spot light… but they should at least try to stop releasing solo albums.
Old School obsessees Jurassic 5 bring us another platter of “Real” hip-hop called Feedback. Of course by "real" they mean dated sounding…
Today also sees the domestic release of The Knife’s excellent Silent Shout which has been pumping its gooey electro goodness through my iPod for a few months now.
Noise “rock” artists Excepter give us Alternation yet another collection of completely incomprehensible and incomparable “music” that is about as far from ‘common’ as you can get.
If you’re a fan of artists old enough that your dad saw them when he was 16, then you, my friend are going to have a hell of a day as well. First off is Tom Petty’s Highway Companion, his first solo album in twelve years, and it’s steeped in southern rock goodness. Also today a reunited New York Dolls give us One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This a follow up that was 32 years in the making. And still sounds exactly like the New York Dolls.
