Can't wait to get my hands on The Decemberists' imminent release 
Also eagerly awaiting Kimbra's debut
Rush should be coming out with their new album this year.
And ya can't wait for the new Decemberists one.
about albums I have long not been up to date, but two concerts coming up I bought tickets for already
one is Long Distance Calling on February 18
the other is Ludovico Einaudi on April 3
I'll certainly be in my element in March and April with new albums by The Kills and The Strokes.
I've given The King is Dead a few runs through now.. really nice album 
^Really love this song - I keep getting drawn back to it 
Kind of surprised this wasn't the lead single actually, but Down By the Water is pretty strong too.
Foo Fighters have put up a 30 sec teaser for one of their upcoming songs.. sounds pretty good! 
New Amanda Palmer is out today too.. throwing li'l old Australia some love 
Gonna go see her live in a couple of weeks
99% sure that I've just heard my album of 2011. Marry me, Anna Calvi! 
(For fans of Nick Cave, Jeff Buckley, PJ Harvey, McAlmont & Butler, Wild Beasts)
^Wow. That first song was just.. wow :|
Total lovechild of Buckley & Harvey. Must go investigate more.. 
Amanda Palmer covering one of my favourite Nick Cave songs 
Closing track on her new album
Yay, new Sparkadia song debuted on radio today
I saw them support Little Red last year, and fell in love with this song as soon as they played it.. been waiting for it ever since.
The hook sounds a bit like Baba O'Riley by The Who 
Constants released a new album on the 1st of january. It's called: If Tomorrow The War.
First album on the list for this year.
Did anyone see the cover of the new Strokes album...
Did anyone see the cover of the new Strokes album...
This? 
Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas has posted a bizarre picture on Twitter that he claims is going to be the front cover of the band's new album.The colourful image features a basketball player, a clown, a rainbow and a unicorn standing on a cliff-edge.
It's not 100 per cent clear if it's a joke or not.
^ :| I am suddenly a lot less enthusiastic about buying their new album. And I really like the Strokes too...
My money would be on it being a joke
You can tell it's just an amateurish photo of a mural on a wall. But there have been worse covers..
So they've decided to use rejected Kanye West cover art for "Angles" - way to recycle, guys. 
Julian Casablancas = troll? 
Angles?
^Angles = new Strokes album <_<
Having just heard the album's lead track, I'm now very much looking forward to PJ Harvey's "Let England Shake"
And what the heck, here's another Anna Calvi tune...
I hope more artists start doing more beautiful melodies, not so much gagalike club songs
