Well I think the good news of the day is that Patrick Watson has released some information regarding his forthcoming album release. I’m not 100% sure, but the above picture may just be the new album cover for Watson’s (or as I called him P-Wat’s) new album. The album will definitely be called Wooden Arms, and you can expect to see it in stores on April 28th in Canada, May 5th in the US, May 8th in Australia, May 11th in the UK and Europe and June 24th in Asia. All of the info as well as a brand new, and may I say quite fantastic new song can be found on the new Wooden Arms teaser site found here. Mister Watson also has a slew of tour dates coming up. I have had the chance to see this Montreal native in concert once, opening for I can’t remember who. Maybe it was The Dears at Metropolis many years ago. Anyways, I am so excited to hear this baby. Along with the new Mew and Midlake records this is one of my most anticipated releases of 2009.
Now that 2008 is gone for good it is time to get excited about the new year. I know many people who have said that 2008 wasn’t a good year for music. To these people I say you are crazy. 2008 for me was an incredible year for music. But that is all behind us. We can now look ahead to what is to come.
Thanks to Pitchfork who has compiled a list of albums being released this winter, we now have a better idea of what is to come. And while I haven’t heard of many of the artists or bands on the list there were many that I did know. Here are just a few of the upcoming albums that I am dying to hear:
I stumbled upon this pretty decent remix of the song “Roscoe” done by Erol Alkan and Richard Norris, aka Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve. I still like the original version better…but here it is, take a listen:
If you love Midlake as much as I do you can check out their live KEXP performance here.
And in case you were wondering, Midlake is currently in the studio working diligently on their next studio album, which will be entitled The Courage of Others will supposedly be released at some time in 2008. I can’t wait!!!
All the music on this site is simply to try and get the word out about bands and artists that I love and think other people should love too. If you like anything you hear on my site, I encourage you to go out and buy the CD. Support the artists you love!
If you are an artist with songs that have been posted on this site, and would like them to be taken down, drop me a message and they will be removed immediately.
