Michael* Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 ^Great stuff! Very Van Etten That one and these two live tracks are all I can find at the moment, but I'm looking forward to hearing more. I think her album could be the 'Tramp' of 2013.

Michael* Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 So, what do we think of the new Strokes tune, then? I always feel like Albert and Nick are criminally underutilised on their more synth-driven stuff, but I've grown to like this one. Very odd but incredibly addictive as well.

red_ed Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Dirty Projectors doing a cover of Usher's Climax. Was anyone else aware that Rostam and Ezra were both a part of Dirty Projectors (according to Wiki)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 ^No Speaking of them though, I just came back from the Big Day Out and drank in some tasty hour-long sets from Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foals and Sleigh Bells First time seeing all of them too, which was a plus. Their new stuff all sounds great too, which bodes well for their upcoming albums. Sleigh Bells were as awesome as they were loud (hint: they go up to eleven). I got front row too, which was kind of easy with the crowd thinned out by RHCP playing at the time. And my word, Alexis.. talk about your HAWLFs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 ^Extremely cool! Was anyone else aware that Rostam and Ezra were both a part of Dirty Projectors (according to Wiki)? Vaguely remember reading that somewhere. I don't think they ever appeared on a Dirty Projectors recording, but they were both a part of the touring band at one point or another. Dave Longstreth was supposedly the one who got Ezra into African music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael* Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 ^I like the old-fashioned tape reel box look, especially the dirty old sticker at the bottom. For some reason, it's giving me a very good feeling about the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I really hope Tool will finally release a new album this year. 10.000 Days was released almost 7 years ago!!And I read that Mastodon is working on new material. Hope they put out a new album this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I really hope Tool will finally release a new album this year. 10.000 Days was released almost 7 years ago!! They've still got a way to go if they want to equal Guns N Roses' record though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Here's the new one from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Their debut album was one of my favourites way back in '11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael* Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Speaking of long-awaited music, the new My Bloody Valentine album is finally here! It appeared on their website (which promptly crashed) late last night, since then it's been uploaded to YouTube in it's entirety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Got another one by MØ to share too. I think I like this even more than 'Maiden'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 And I guess continuing with the theme of hotly anticipated albums, here's the cover of the new Vampire Weekend effort, coming May 6/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 ^ I've been really liking what I've heard of Foals's new one so far too. Of Monsters and Men did a fantastic cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Skeletons on the radio last Friday. Still hasn't shown up on Youtube yet, but you can see it here -> [clicky] So excited so see them at Laneway this weekend too, especially since they initially weren't coming to this side of the country. + Bat For Lashes and Alt-J = another winning year for the festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 ^I wasn't expecting that to work anywhere near as well as it did. Sounds great. Any Darwin Deez fans in the house? His new album is streaming here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 ^ Really like the sound of that band. Some place between Jimi Hendrix and the psychedelic era of The Beatles. Interesting video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbot Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 New James Blake :Dinah: (1:07 for song) So I just got back from Laneway. Bat For Lashes. Blew. Me. Away. She looked so beautiful, and sounded even better - I was so impressed with how flawless her voice was. Her opening of Lilies will stay with me for a long time Alt-J were incredible too - highly recommend catching them live when you get the chance. Of Monsters & Men and Divine Fits were other highlights. Chet Faker and The Ruebens were pretty good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
