Oh how I miss What. I really enjoyed the James Blake as well. It was the first time I'd even heard song by him, so it was not what I was expecting.
We've got a potentially good January in front of us with Akron/Family, the Decemberists, Cake, Cage The Elephant all coming out with albums. I've got hope Radiohead is going to give us a New Years gift.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I listened to it a week or so ago, it was definitely more country. Pretty solid; the tracks with Gillian Welch (there are several of them, right?) were pretty good.

Is anyone else REALLY curious to hear Dr. Dre's Detox? Really want to know what the whole album sounds like. I must say I'm not the biggest fan of, 'Kush', the single.
I feel the same way. I respect the fact that he's been in the game so long, but at some point you gotta retire and watch the game from your "kush" sky box.

This new Decemberists record sounds like the product of an oddly sedate three-way between Peter Buck, Neil Young and Gary Louris. Which is to say it's pushing all my buttons.
Never been much of a Decemberists fan; don't care for Meloy's voice (find it kind of grating) or their subject matter (find it a bit too self-consciously quirky/twee/affected) but for whatever reason I'm on my fourth listen of this record today.
Gillian is a nice addition, and man, can you feel Peter Buck's hands all over this thing...that second track is totally "Talk About the Passion". Not that I'm complaining.
Listened to a few 2011 albums tonight, Cake's Showroom of Compassion, Destroyer's Kaputt, and Smith Westerns' Dye It Blonde.
All of them were quite good, the Smith Westerns really impressed me the most. I had never heard their debut, but Dye It Blonde has this incredible energy combined with really catchy melodies.

Highly anticipating the next Portugal. The Man. Third record in 3 years due shortly and after the short, sharp pop of Satanic and the noisy, dirty pop of American, I am very interested to see where they go next. Considering that their live shows have been jammy and heavy on the riffing, it seems like we may see a return to roots of sort. And then to see them tear it up at Roo!
Is the new Decemberists a turd like the last album or is it more country.
If it's more country I'm in.
More country but still a turn, IMO. Short songs, simple structures, kind of middle of the road lyrics- I have only listened to it twice but I was underwhelmed.
But I did LOVE Hazards so take this with a bucket of salt.
As mentioned a couple posts above, new DBT's album in mid February. Best thing I'm aware of right now
Used To Be A Cop off the new DBT is a slow, sultry, dirty burner! The energy on this one track tops anything off The Big To Do! I heard the album as a whole is a more acoustic affair, but if the energy is as tense as this track, this album should be a step up from the last.
