Weezer’s Pinkerton Deluxe gets release date

I was worried that with Weezer enjoying somewhat of a comeback right now, Rivers Cuomo had decided to put Pinkerton Deluxe on the shelf. However it seems that it finally has a release date, with Amazon reporting it as October 5th.

So, what will the elusive second disk contain? Will fans finally get to hear the lost album Songs For The Black Hole? Here’s hoping. We’ll let you know when we do.

Ben Folds & Nick Hornby announce Lonely Avenue

Think we might actually be the first people to break this story; the heavily anticipated (at least by me) collaborative album by Ben Folds and Nick Hornby has an album cover and title; Lonely Avenue. Check out Huffington Post to listen to a demo of Levi Johnston’s Blues, with the album expected to drop in September/Fall.

UPDATE: The album is due to drop on Sept 28th, and there will be a tour according to Folds himself.

Sufjan Stevens working on new album!

According to the National’s Bryce Dessner, Sufjan Stevens is indeed hard at work on a new album and is currently recording in the band’s Brooklyn studio.

“We’ve played on some of the tracks and been listening to some of the stuff as he’s been working on it,” Dessner told Exclaim! in a recent interview.

Dessner, who described Stevens as “very solitary in what he does” and “one of my closest friends” didn’t want to reveal too much about the new as-yet-untitled Stevens album. But when asked if the new material sounded like Stevens’s older records, Dessner offered a resounding “no.”

“It’s going to be incredible,” he adds. “It’s going to probably blow people’s minds.”

Shamelessly taken from Exclaim, it’s Sufjan new album news, WOO!

Yeasayer - ONE

OK I know I’m a bit late to this fantastic video, but I only heard this shortened radio edit the other day and thats the reason for this blog!  

Odd Blood is certainly a great album but whilst there are often great flourishes of pop, it remains mostly adventurous and experimental, which is fine. However, Ambling Alp was the perfect blend and in shortening and reimagining ONE they’ve done it again.

The falsetto gets me every time.
