Where Hip Comes to Die

NMT

Not too much to get excited about from the music world this week.

I'm From Barcelona release their critically aclaimed debut LP Let Me Introduce You to My Friends. I'm From Barcelona attempts to fill that void that may be left by not having enough cutesy irony laced indie pop in your diet... I however am afraid this may give me diabetes.

Beyonce's confusingly titled new album, B'day, comes out today. It's sure to be chock full of hot producers & Jigga guest spots, but is it going to be more "Crazy in Love" or more "Gift from Virgo".

90's rock stalwarts cum supergroup Audioslave drop their 3rd load entitled Revelations. It's been pretty unanimously agreed upon that this is better than their sophmore effort Out of Exile, but not quite as good as their self titled debut... which places it somewhere between 'quite awful' and 'tragedy on par with 9/11'.

Pinkback releases what is sure to be a fans only affair titled Nautical Antiques: Selection of B-Sides Outtakes. While I have nothing against Pinback, infact I quite enjoy them sometimes, the idea of a b-sides collection from a band whos albums are often inconsistent is a little bothersome.
