New Music Tuesday
I should have posted this earlier… but its been busy round here.
But as always you can expect me to post something about my favorite holiday.
Today is the first New Music Tuesday in a few weeks that I’m genuinely excited about. Today we see the release of Thom Yorke’s first solo album. The Eraser. Rolling Stone praised the album, Pitchfork pissed on it, Stylus holds it on a pedestal, and Tiny Mix Tapes and Entertainment Weekly seem unimpressed… I’ve heard half the album and I must say I’m thrilled.
Sufjan Stevens releases The Avalanche: Outtakes And Extras From The Illinois Album. Most artists outtakes collections don’t intrigue me at all, but Sufjan is such a prolific artist with such a singular vision that he could record the sound of him making a PB&J sandwich and I’d probably at least download it.
Jimmy Tamborello continues his infuriating compulsion to create new monikers by releasing Mistake, Mistake, Mistake, Mistake today under the pseudonym James Figurine, which is maddeningly close to just plain Figurine, one of his many other projects…
The album was supposed to be Tamborello’s take on minimalist German techno in the vein of Kompakt, but Tamborello admits that the album fails at this landing much closer to the Postal Service than Justus Kohncke.
Featuring guest spots from Jenny Lewis, Erlend Oye and John Tejada Mistake, Mistake, Mistake, Mistake is sure to make electro loving indie fan-boys/girls wet their little panties with delight.
Other releases this week include Peaches contender for least witty album title of the year Impeach My Bush, Muse’s latest album of bloated electro-rock Black Holes And Revelations comes out today trying even harder to become Radiohead for the frat boy set by enlisting producer Rich Costey who previously has worked with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. Soul Asylum releases a new album today… I think that in and of itself is fucking hilarious.

you leave Jimmy alone, so what if he has band member ADD... he only creates pretty things and that's all that matter!
