New Mastodon album is out.

Not out but leaked.

Really enjoying it after a couple spins. There's also a 7 part 'making of' video of the album on YouTube. Worth checking out. Brent Hinds did some recording on the moon! 

Edit: Just realized it was leaked over a week ago. I'm late to the party.

I'm listening to Witch's "Lazy Bones!!" album:

Zambian rock from the 1970s.

Same difference :)

Not their best album but enjoyable and still head and shoulders above the rest of the active metal bands.

God, I miss Isis... a damn shame that they broke up.

Bought the album when it came out. Purchased the vinyl copy as there is an extra track on it. A fine album.

Been enjoying Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. 

Frank Carter is the former front man of the Gallows, I didn't realise he had a new band but then found the Scroobius Pip, Distraction Pieces podcast he did a couple of years ago where he talked about the new stuff. 

Very good if you enjoy a bit of hardcore punk.

The new stuff doesn't sound quite as adventurous and exciting as "Since I Left You". Then again, it took them around 15 years (give or take a year?) to release another album, so the expectations were bound to be high. To be honest, I wasn't sure what I was expecting, because 15 years between albums seems like an eternity in music business. I should probably listen to the new one a bit more to see if it grows on me.

wow, just wow...

GROO-VEE!

Why can't we have buskers like that over here? I might start carrying cash just so that I could tip those talented freaks!

2nd October 1995. Just saying!

22 years. Had forgotten it was that long ago. Where have all the years gone.

Indeed mate,where have those years gone...

Still enjoy that Oasis album.

 

 

Stereophonics mini album of four tracks recorded live at The Royal Albert Hall.

T.V. Smith has to be the most underrated English singer songwriter alive today.

Interesting album from a French/Malagasy singer. My first impression is that it's quite enjoyable:

 

 

Still patiently waiting for the new Stone Roses album. Seems to have been 'almost ready' for years..

 

Just finished listening to S-Town. A podcast from the makers of Serial, This American Life:

 

https://stownpodcast.org/ 

It's about a horologist (clock maker/repairer) from a sh*tty little town in Alabama called Woodstock, who says the son of a wealthy local family has got away with murdering someone. Brian Reed, a producer from the Serial team, travels to Woodstock to find out more from the horologist- an eccentric, obsessive-compulsive called John B McLemore. 

Soon however, when someone else ends up dead, it becomes to be about more than just life and death....

It's only 7 episodes but I was hooked from start to finish. Listen to it! And thank me later.

I think I've listened to the first three or so, it's a compulsive listen in much the same way as Serial was.
