Monday, July 03, 2006 Great Expectations Last week I did up a guest post for one of my favorite music blogs, the also-Boston-based Clicky Clicky. While Jay was away, he asked me to fill in for a day, and I was more than happy to do so. Given how infrequently I pull together a non-live-mp3 post here on the 'Nac, I thought I'd cross-post my thoughts on albums that I'm looking forward to in the remainder of 2006 (and a bit beyond).   As we hit the end of June, the halfway point of aught-six, we brace ourselves for the imminent deluge of "Best Albums Of The Year So Far" lists. If music blogs love one thing, it's little lists of favorite discs. The top-tens and top-twenties of 2005 started popping up so early (and so often) last year that I burned out on 'em before '06 even started. By the time I started to prepare my own, I realized I just didn't care anymore... for the first time in five years, I didn't do it. The early-birds sucked out all the fun, some coming even far before Thanksgiving, as if they used the appearance of Christmas decorations as a starting gun.So in advance of all the 'Best So Far' lists you'll soon see, I thought I'd do something a little different for my Clicky Clicky guest-post, and talk about some albums that I'm most looking forward to in the second six months of 2006 (and in some cases, beyond). Some have solid release dates, others don't, and still others may wait until next year. Whatever the case, all give me high hopes... Scheduled releases...
Other scheduled albums I'm looking forward to...
In the works...
Also in the works, with very tenative release info...
And a few anticipated reissues...
So, aside from TV On The Radio's new one (suggested in the comments over on Clicky Clicky), what'd I miss? What future releases are you psyched about?  |
