Decemberists, I’m ready and waiting.

Midlake has been working on a new album that was supposed to hit last year. We’ll see if it comes together soon.

Beyond that, I’m all ears for anything good.

@PupnTaco Did you hear the single they released through the site, “The Rake’s Song”? wow. it is excellent. and extremely dark.

The Decemberists
Imogen Heap
Patrick Wolf

And too many others: Animal Collective, Robyn Hitchcock, Bob Mould, Gomez, Depeche Mode (Actually, that’s more, like, I’m giving you guys one last chance – Playing The Angel put me to sleep!), Crowded House, Architecture In Helsinki, Gang of Four, Roxy Music (and it’s w/ ENO!), Freebass (Hooky’s new band), Grizzly Bear

I wasn’t aware Grizzly Bear was releasing something?!
