The Ticket (in today’s Irish Times) have a mini-review of Autumn’s ‘rock and pop releases‘. Here’s the albums I’m looking forward to:
-
Marc Almond My life
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy The Letting Go
Shawn Colvin These Four Walls
Cathal Coughlan Foburg
Tim Finn Imaginary Kingdom
The Killers Sam’s Town
Madness title tbc
Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell III – The Monster is Loose (strictly for a friend, you understand)
Sting Labyrinth – Songs of John Dowland
Sharon Shannon and Friends Double Live CD and DVD
Osvaldo Golijov‘s Ainadamar
I might buy the new releases by Christine Aguilera, Depeche Mode, Moby, and Paul Weller. The last Moby cd I bought was Hotel. It’s nice to listen to but I had to ration myself as it kinda makes me a bit depressed (I spend a lot of time in hotels). Re the Aguilera bit, the only song of hers that I own is ‘Beautiful’ (honest). I don’t know what the rest of her material is like but reviews of her new album suggest it’s her own material. ‘Proper’ music critics reckon it’s ‘ok’. It’s still ‘pop’ but maybe it’ll be a toe-tapper; something to play when you’re getting ready to go out on Saturday night.
One More Thing, Why Are CD Titles Always Capitalised? Doesn’t Make Sense To Me.
Just listening to The Finn Brothers’ Everyone is Here as I write this and I gotta recommend it. The first ‘sentence’ is a bit difficult to read properly, if you, like, know what I mean, like! Anyways, here’s some lyrics from ‘Luckiest Man Alive’:
-
I know that it’s you behind
Everything that I do
And I wouldn’t try to hide
Who I am from you
It’s all me
That you see
I was ready for another try
But I needed you to set me free
Must be the luckiest man alive
Man finds love in his life
He’s the luckiest man alive
Someone true by his side
He’s the luckiest man alive
Once you cut right through
His foolish pride
He’s the luckiest man alive
