Could someone please pin this thread and unpin the one from 2016? Thanks in advance.

Apparently the New Pornographers are readying a new album for release this year. Add that one to my list.

Definitely looking forward to the new Spoon album: http://pitchfork.com/news/70840-spoon-detail-new-album-hot-thoughts/ Also hoping for new material from Washed Out some time in the near future.

Just watched it online. Everything he does is killer. Whether or not country music appreciates him, he's exactly what it needs.

More so because they eschew smaller cities like NOLA now in favor of major metropolitan centers. I'm not a big fan of stadium shows, but I must admit that their show in Tampa in '09 was pretty great.

No love for NOLA. My U2 fandom is waning with every passing year and stadium tour.

The Deslondes

I was hoping for a NOLA show. Dang.

At the benefit show the AWs played in NOLA last month, Greg Dulli said their new album is in the can and will be released this year.

A new Decemberists album would be great. Not sure if they've been working on anything new though.

Yeah, as much as it pains me to admit, it's not really a memorable album. I could take a song or two from it, but overall it's not something I'm longing to revisit. I edited my list of top albums and replaced it with the Drive-By Trucker's album, which I find myself wanting to listen to again and again.

Thanks, kidsmoke. I very much appreciate the kind words & well-wishes. My best to you & yours (and to all of us) in the new year.

Last year had its ups and downs and certainly ended with a cluster of disappointments for me. However, my dad licked cancer again (a second type of lyphoma), and he's still with us. For that I'm eternally grateful and hopeful for a better new year. All my best to everyone to VC.
