As of last week, my Al Stewart collection is no longer complete and as a result I've had the sensation of sitting at home while missing some incredible party ever since. The irony here is that plenty of other people haven't bought the new album and don't care. Still, it's what I care about and this is my blog so... expect a review as soon as I get my hands on a copy.
I did recently get British Sea Power's latest album Do You Like Rock Music? and I'm prone to more or less agree with Pitchfork's review of it. (Yes, I read other critics, of course.) It's a shame when you have a band lauded for their ability to blend melodic inspiration, strong lyricism and a raw rock quality, and they come back with an album that leaves out everything but the rock. Isn't this pretty much what happened to The Flaming Lips on At War With The Mystics? The new BSP album is listenable, but it's mostly just loud and unmemorable.
I love that I can't write about music and listen to music at the same time on my decrepit laptop without iTunes skipping. Wasn't skipping supposed to be over as of the digital era?
This is funny.
