What's new that you're looking forward to? Got a leak of something awesome? Post it here, I guess.
Flaming Lips aren't releasing their album before I see them, but they'll have listening stations (which is why I'm getting there well before doors), and I have 3 of the tracks and 3 b-sides. It's exciting stuff, not as crazy, but pretty smooth, like Joy Division made a bit more rocky.
Muse's The Resistance is exciting, but I haven't listened to any of the cuts they've released. Muse usually never wows me, but they never disappoint me, plus I'm more excited that they're touring. If they announce a US tour I'll be on that in an instant.
Arcade FIre is doing the soundtrack for The Box, which is sort of a release; but supposedly they'll have another album out by the end of the year. I know very little about it, and I play pretty close attention; but I'm excited like anything.
Radiohead released These Are My Twisted Words, and Yorke confirmed a new album by the end of the year. It'll be more lively and energetic than some of the tracks on In Rainbows, supposedly.
Sufjan Stevens is working on string reworkings of his Rabbit album, which is pretty good. Don't know much. A release of The BQE is coming out on October 20th.
MESSAGE ICONS ARRRRRRRRRR
Muse
Radiohead
MGMT
The new Incubus album that might be out in 2010 ;-; or atleast I hope
Foo Fighters announced they're working on a new album.
I think Say Anything is putting out something new soon

radiohead isn't releasing another album, Yorke has said multiple times he doesn't think the band could do another whole album and instead for now he likes the single-every-few-months format
DESPOT should be having a first LP on def jux this fall, though, that will be great

Muse's "The Resistance" isn't superb, but it's pretty good, from what I hear. I have yet to pick it up.

Le Loup, a small indie group out of DC, released a new album and is touring. I highly recommend them if you get past a slight bit of artsy pretentiousness.

This entire year has been release-heavy enough that I don't care. hocuspocus;
The new Katatonia album just got a release date so I can say I will be looking forward to that! Hopefully it is at least somewhat close to what The Great Cold Distance was
last weekend i heard talk of a new Joanna Newsom album.

Congratulations by MGMT and Contra by Vampire Weekend in early 2010.
And a new Strokes album, and a new Wolfmother album.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Quickly scanning the tubes:
QuoteHaving sporadically debuted new songs at her concerts since the fall of 2007, on March 28, 2009, Newsom performed over two hours of new material at a "secret" concert in Big Sur, California with fellow Nevada City singer-songwriter Mariee Sioux, under the pseudonym The Beatles's. Those in attendance reported that about one-third of her new material was played primarily on piano, with a backing arrangement of banjo, violin, guitar and drums.[2]
Some quotes from milkymoon thread started in september:
Quote"Hi Dwain,
Thanks so much for the email but Joanna isn't doing interviews at
this time. I promise you there is a good reason, Just can't disclose
anything just yet."
Folks as you know i have been trying to get Joanna to answer some interview questions for awhile(or if u didn't know u know now)......the static i am getting right now makes me think very much that they are in the process...as we speak....of RECORDING A NEW ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now i can't quote anyone, and the above response came from Drag City itself when i again asked for a chance to run some interview questions past Joanna(through the propper channels)...but from whom and what i have heard...my gut tells me the sound is going down on vinyl as we speak. YES
Why Drag City is so tight lipped, i can't say, maybe they just want to splash us to death when it is for sale, or maybe there are some other issues that are preventing any release of info....hmmmmm i remember a certain Pitchfork slip where Ys was open for the taking long before it ever hit the release date, perhaps Joanna herself has clamped down on all the valves....good to know there is a strong woman's hand at the tiller eh?
What will be on it?
Barbara
Sweet Esame
California Song.......oh man i can't wait!!!
dwain-yer intrepid reporter(who's never wrong about these things ...right?)
QuoteAlso, somebody posted today on the LJ community asking what Joanna was up to and somebody replied "I have an inside scoop that she's recorded a ton of new material (17 full songs is the word), and she's working on which ones will be on a new album."
[spoiler]Wow! I have not posted here in quite some time, I have been MIA for a while guys! Well, my friends working in Nevada City are actually pretty close with the family out there, so under the table the album should be out by September 18th I think was the date, or somewhere around there...17 tracks is about right, no word as to what the album's name is, but I'll be going out to Nevada City myself and San Francisco for the summer so I'll see what I can do about getting some more info from close sources ! Nice to see everyone is still as active, alas I have not![/spoiler]
QuoteNo. It was all based on "insider information" from people on the internet. Drag City hasn't said anything and her booking agency has her listed as looking to tour in November and December.
QuoteI'm honestly guessing we won't get anything til 2010
So who knows :(

New Fuck Buttons.
Check it out and see what you think, but it's a bit too dancey for me.
