Speaking of 2005, in February Mars Volta stake their claim to re-take
the ‘James Green album of the year’ title for the second year out of three. This will be doubtless there or thereabouts
[Note, 2014: it was horrifically awful and didn’t make the list at all in 2005]. My
Vitriol keep emailing me with whispered promises of a follow up to 2001’s Finelines, but I’ve almost given up hope
[Note, 2014: still never released a second record but continue to work on new
material]. They may have gone the sad
way of Bullyrag. The last My
Vitriol album was superb, but after four
years, this one had better be, er, better.
Foo Fighters promised a
double album, and QOTSA return minus
the entire band. Feeder always produce albums of a high quality, and considering
their recent insane output level, I expect a fourth Therapy? album in as many years.
Let’s hope it follows the trend of the last two, and not 2002’s disastrous
Shameless. Amplifier
tell me they are writing a new record.
Gods be good, make it soon.
That’s it.
Peace, love and catnip
