it is pretty great

Where's a forks list? Too much tv this week? ;)

too much work and too much backlog of new music already; i haven't gotten all the way through syro but twice!
Also PRINCE how are you missing TWO NEW PRINCE ALBUMS that I just grabbed without looking here at all
But yeah, I'm going trawling tonight.

i did mention the prince albums but i'm not really a prince guy

i've gone through syro a bunch so i'm ready for the new

Holy crap, this week. A new CHVRCHES song and the deluxe reissue of Big Country's <i>Steeltown</i> would have been enough for me, personally, but there's even some new music that isn't from Scotland. I'm excited to hear the whole Tove Lo album, too. There's also a promising EP from fellow Swedish singer Laleh. I'm liking the new songs by Lorde, Tinashe and Fei-Fei. I'm excited that the new tyDi album has a song with Kerli singing. There's a VAMPS ballad and a Gackt soundtrack. The Last Bison, who I think of as one of the more interesting quiet stomp-and-holler bands, has a new album. Chihiro Onitsuka and Billys Sandwitches have a very non-idolish j-pop album.

In metal there are grim new albums I'm excited to hear by 1349, Khold, Nightbringer, Xerath, Nonexistence and Unit 731, and bright gothic extravagances by White Empress, Ancestral Legacy and Davey Suicide. And one of my old favorite neo-prog bands, Enchant, has a new one.

And then there is a pile of intriguing weird-noises albums I mostly don't know anything about, but flagged to hear: Ssaliva, Hampus Hyppe, Gus Till, Giant Claw, Second Suspense, Calvin and the Hobgoblins, The War on Peace, Toydrum. And there's a really pretty acoustic-guitar album by somebody called T-cophony that sometimes is just guitar and sometimes mixes in all sorts of other things and sometimes doesn't.

I especially think people here who are fond of Prince and Owen Pallett and FrankMusik and r-neg-b and vaporwave ought to check out this 4-song EP by "Calvin + the Hobgoblins", about whom the internet seems to know rather little. http://open.spotify.com/album/1cz9578wBlfpgFpm9heKUU

Hmm, this ep isn't too bad. Unfortunately the sound is really boxy/thin.

Also, the weird lyric lift from Radiohead in "Cherry" is unexpected and maybe a little awkward.

new prince albums are butt

new tape album is awes

"you can point fingers all you want. i don't care. i love you anyway."

glenn can you tell me if the canadian catalog is drastically different from the american like netflix?

No, the two are not drastically different. I just took a cursory look at some of the relatively few things that are technically available in one of the two countries but not the other, and all of the ones I checked were cases where a release is only available in one, but the same audio is available on another release in the other country. I'm sure there are actual differences, too, but I couldn't quickly find any.

thanks! i was using the US version via vpn (*slaps self on wrist*) but i really wanted to pay and couldn't—but was a bit worried about switching over.

I know this isn't the thread, but I have a tech Spotify question -- is there a way to easily/quickly see the full title of a track? Often classical music track titles are very, very long because they list composer, piece, orchestra, conductor, and only then the movement or sub-section and I can't actually see the last part.

late to the game but:
Tove Lo - Queen of the Clouds
Raul Midon - Don't Hesitate
Glenn Campbell - I'll Be Me Soundtrack EP
Prince - Art Official Age (very good where it's good, very mediocre where it's not)
Prince and 3rdIGirl - Plectrumelectrum
Meshuggah - I
Sam Amidon - Lily-O
Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives - Saturday Night / Sunday Morning
The Toure-Raichel Collective - The Paris Session
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - Gone Girl OST
Calvin and The Hobgoblins - Hookup Kulture
Yelle - Completement fou

new singles from Boyz II Men, jordin sparks, Tinashe with Dev Hynes, Chvrches, lorde, lee ann rimes ("i want a hippopotamus for christmas"! no idea why i care), Annie Lennox, Joey Badass, Wild Beasts, Royskopp, Wiley, Elephant Man

what is the calvin and the hobgoblins like?

Okay! A little weak on the production end but a single playthru is interesting.

The Calvin & the Hobgoblins EP sounds clearly like it was self-produced by somebody without a professional production background, but to me that's a significant part of its charm. Wild ambition mashed through the available filters and tools.

Any reason to listen to Yelle in 2014?

"Completement fou" (the title track) has been in my head for the last two days, so ... maybe?

"Any reason to listen to [ ] in [ ]?"

Sure, there are always reasons. I didn't even know what you were talking about, and it took me about 15 seconds to discover that I liked this: http://open.spotify.com/track/48qPo25VFExoldlr26LcxF

Oh, and Godflesh. And a new single by The Who.

Imagine... Importing a playlist from home and not having have some lame-ass John Lennon impersonator pop up when you least expect it. Happy birthday, bore is over.

what is this?

new, quietly released EP by the look of it... you a fan?

no just curious

i'm a fan. it's pretty good so far. try "ay ay ay" sometime.

Don't know if it was literally just added, but I noticed Spotify has a few Gelbart releases that I had not previously seen on there.

Some things I flagged this week:

- The full Kira Isabella (of "Quarterback" notoriety) album.
- A beepycrunchy bleakrobot new album by Neosignal.
- A subdued/sublime new Kleerup EP with appearances by Susanne Sundfor, Jenny Wilson, Niki & the Dove and Maja Ivarsson.
- The two pre-Climax EPs by Beastmilk.
- A cathartic new album by German metal band Bethlehem (with a uselessly long album-title, but one of the songs is called "Nazi Zombies mit Tourette-Syndrom"), plus their 20-year-old debut album Dark Metal.
- A new broken-power-adapter-and-caterwauling album by Pharmakon (not to be confused with Phantogram).
- A new French pop-punk band called The Garlics.
- A 4-part, 5-hour thing by The A.M. Experiment called Canonization of Talk Talk that appears to consist of 10:00-15:00 process-blurrings of each song from four Talk Talk/Mark Hollis records.

i'll add

glenn: t/f you listened to judy garland sing over the rainbow at least 4 times tnite

Hah! I was trying to play it just once for my daughter as her going-to-bed song, but I kept finding versions that were mastered so quietly that we could barely hear them. After a while I finally realized that I was accidentally playing the music out of a laptop near the speakers I thought I was playing it through, and it wasn't a mastering problem at all.

There are a few Mahmoud Ahmed albums that just got added. Stoked!

Jessie Ware · Tough Love
Scott Walker · Soused
The Budos Band · Burnt Offering
And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead · IX
Nude Beach · 77
Kofi Sammy · Okukuseku Explosion 80 (not linking up atm)

should I listen to nude beach

idk, i remember liking the last one

ok it is called 77 so I guess I will

u should listen to budos band tho it's fantastic

really? i was a little skeptical i heard they were going "heavy metal funk" or something

yeah I also saw recent performance videos of them and found them kind of thuddy. curious though.

more afrobeaty than heavy metal imo

i'll check it out, though in general I kinda always thought Nomo was way better for that sort of thing, tho do like the Budos as well
