If Byrne isn't in the Ukranian band, he might be putting their album out.

Tell me about it (this the dude who once came up with the term "psychedelic hillbilly" to describe Tom Zé's sound. That's probably why I avoid listening to Tom Zé's stuff to this day, maybe I'm not ready for that yet)...

Um yeah, I did mean to say "is not in" rather than "is in". 

But it looks like everyone understood that anyhow.

Hey, if he was it would probably be OK. But they sound just like any wedding band - casio keyboard, all that nastiness - but then do Ukrainian folk.

I recently obtained a copy of the forthcoming Belle & Sebastian, and, so far, so good.  I have the new Cat Power, but haven't listened to it yet, but, as I'm starting to take the train to work next week, I'm sure I'll get some good iPod time in (Note: This message, for some reason, took forever to complete, and I have now listened to some of the new Cat Power.  It's good).  I'm very excited for the Tortoise/Bonnie 'Prince' Billy record (thanks for the track Starlight!).  It'd be nice to see them tour together, but, honestly, I'd rather see BPB tour alone.

I'm still getting more into AC Newman/The New Pornographers.  I think AC Newman's a genius.  I'm seeing them open for Belle & Sebastian up in Seattle this coming March.  Does Neko Case typically tour with the band?

Built to Spill comes out with a new record in April, and I've heard most of it.  It sounds like it will be a good one, a return to form.  Probably not their best, but certainly better than their last one.  Calexico's new record comes out soon, too, I think.

I'm listening to loads of Saint Etienne.  I'm trying to decide whether I should drive down to see them in LA in February, or go to my friend's birthday party in Wendover (which means I'll just get really drunk.  I don't gamble much).  They are on the same day.  Has anyone seen a Saint Etienne show?  Is it worth the drive and money I don't really have (but will have more of by then), plus the risk of hurting my friend's feelings?

Stereolab's touring too, and of course coming nowhere near Salt Lake.  I'd also love to see them, as I've been listening to them quite a bit lately.

Looks like a good year for music.

Oh man, I'm so out of the loop I didn't even notice this came out.  Or, erm, was coming out.  But evidently it's been on the internet since early December.  D'oh!  I do love listening to albums early, but B&S is one of the few bands where I'll actually buy the CD when it comes out.

I just discovered it the other day.  I'll also buy it sometime after it comes out.

I've only heard one track from the new B&S.  it sounded pretty good, but after the last album, I'm a bit wary... didn't entirely like that one as much.  from interviews, I'm hearing it'll be more poppy and fresh, so we'll see.  I'll prob. try to find the rest later today.

Speaking of Neko Case... has her new solo album leaked yet?  I thought I read that it had somewhere, but couldn't find it at all when I tried searching... very much anticipating that one!

I guess I could use an Iron Maiden for these times.

I liked the idea of an old-school metal band being on Matador.  Also, I was banging my head at the Tower listening station involuntarily.

I chose it over the Arcade Fire record.  I've gotta be me.
