I'm just gonna keepem comming New Ideas and New music 2009

Ok so I like mike's idea of a mixtape contest...I'll let you come up with the rules on that one Mike.

I also think we should try to get more people writing on here. I'm gonna talk to a couple of friends and see if they wanna start making posts...the more the merrier I think, then we can have actual bloggy type suggestions and what not. Danny you mentioned a friend of yours who was into the same stuff as me, try to get her around to the idea.

I also thought we could have a little music book club sort of thing. Pick an album every week or so...everyone get it, listen to it and write a review and discuss. could be interesting. Just don't want everyone throwing down big bucks...we might wanna pick some back channels to discuss ways to get the music spread around wink wink nudge nudge.

Ok so New music for the year I'm looking forward to this year...

A.c. Newman- Lead singer of the New pornographers, he's never put out anything i didn't like

Yeah Yeah Yeahs- they said they were taking a big break and going to the studio in august so i can only assume they're gonna follow up Show your Bones...it's been like 4 years.

Belle and Sebastian- They should put something out. They have a steady stream of eps rare material and what not...but i heard rumblings they were gonna put something out soon.

Decemberists- Yeah a full rock opera by these guys. They put out some good songs last year on the Bridesmaids eps. But I love their full albums.

Radiohead- believe it or not they are already back in the studio. Hail to the Thief took them 2 weeks to record so maybe we can get something new from them this year...that would be a long stretch though.

Arcade Fire- I really hope they get over the sophmore slump. Really neon bible was just meh compared to Funeral which was spectacular.

Joanna newsom- I'm just hopping and preying here. I just want to see her live again. Seriouslly she is the most angelic person, there's this white glow that emulates from her hands to her magical harp.

Fiona Apple- I wrote the last post about her after i got word that she had new material ready to go. Not sure the entire truth or when to expect this, but i always like her work.

Jay-z- Blue print 3. Blueprint 1 andAmerican Gangster was great, but kingdom come and Blueprint 2 sucked....let's hope it's the former on the 3rd blue print.

Andrew Bird - can't remember what the name is but his new album is comming out in like a week or two. Should be good, he's always consistent.

Metric- Emily haines said there was for sure gonna be a new metric album this year. Probablly by the spring time. So yeahy. In the mean time check out the mainstream ep that came out this year, It was pretty damn good.

Sarah Harmer- She's one of my favorites ever and it's been way to long for someone who has their own damn studio to put out new material. So yeah do it already.I have written you many love letters and sent you many small dead animals....you owe me.

I'd like to see a new shins album out this year, but i doubt that will happen.

Oh yeah Sufjan Stevens should finally put out his next states album this year. Everyone thinks it's gonna be calfornia. I'm gonna roll the dice and say he goes for Alaska. Come on he could write like 8 songs about Sarah Palin and the caribou and the pipeline and eskimos and snow and fish and polar bears...well if he doesn't write it then I am.

Ok well that's all people I'm hopping for in 2009. Feel free to add anything you might be lookin forward to.
