Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week
DOWNLOAD: Priestbird - Mandog (MP3)
DOWNLOAD: Rock Plaza Central - My Children Be Joyful (MP3) (album)
DOWNLOAD: Rock Plaza - Home, Are We Not Horses (MP3) (DEMO)
This seems like a good place to mention that you can stream the entire new Priestbird (formerly Tarantula AD) album at their website. Albums by other bands can of course, as always, be streamed at Spinner. Also out this week is Rock Plaza Central's Are We Not Horses on Yep Roc - their new U.S. home. If you have the album already, that's probably because you downloaded it from Canada - two MP3s above. And now, Largehearted Boy....

Bridging the Distance: A Portland, Oregon Covers Compilation is a covers album that brings together two of my favorite things: quality music and a good cause. With tracks from the Decemberists, Spoon's Britt Daniel, the Thermals, the Minders, and others, the album's proceeds will benefit p:ear, an organization that "builds positive relationships with homeless and transitional youth, ages 15 to 23, through education, art and recreation to affirm personal worth and create more meaningful and healthier lives". The benefit album's impressive tracklist:
1. Think About Me - The Decemberists
2. The Harder They Come - Pat Macdonald
3. Long Distance Runaround - The Joggers
4. Dancing In The Dark - The Snuggle Ups
5. Tangerine - The Thermals
6. Shattered Dreams - Christopher Walla
7. Eye In The Sky - Viva Voce
8. That Smell - The Minus 5
9. Sombre Reptiles - Talkdemonic
10. Don't Bring Me Down - The Minders
11. Sister Christian - The Kingdom
12. What A Fool Believes - Lackthereof
13. White Wedding - Whip
14. Invincible - Wet Confetti
15. She Sells Sanctuary - The Dandy Warhols
16. Pearl Of The Quarter - Point Juncture, WA
17. Crazy On You - Blitzen Trapper
18. (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding? - Crosstide
19. Bring It On Home To Me - Britt Daniel
This week also sees the release of the new Nine Inch Nails album,Year Zero, as well as two remastered discs (with bonus material) from singer-songwriter Michael Penn - Mr. Hollywood, Jr. 1947 and Palms and Runes: Best of Michael Penn.
I can strongly recommend several other releases this week - Elk City's New Believers; 65daysofstatic's single, Don't Go Down to Sorrow; Cat Empire's self-titled EP; Dolly Varden's The Panic Bell; Dead Meadow's Howls from the Hills; Priestbird's In Your Time; and Superdrag's Changin' Tires on the Road to Ruin.
What new releases are you picking up this week? Have I left anything worthwhile off this list...

The single by Arctic Monkeys is titled "Brianstorm," not "Brainstorm."

What the hell? I had no idea about the new Superdrag release. That's fantastic. I'm down with b-sides.

Spells, from the comas

the superdrag CD is pretty good, if you dig the band. "doctors are dead" is the best song they never formally released.

Went to Bar Matchless the other night to see Joshua English (used to sing for a band from Boston called Six Going on Seven). He killed it. I bought his new record ("Trouble None")and I think it comes out this week but his label's site (Welcome Home) doesn't have a date. RIYL-- Elvis Costello, John Doe

Nothing.

I've kind of tuned "them" out since... I don't know, high school, but I have to admit the NIN's "Year Zero" isn't half bad. Certainly one of "their" best three albums.
