News: Bookends & Le Futur Pompiste

No Comments

New Bookends album Proud Of My Stereo is now out and available. Co-released by Spiritual Partners & Rhythm Barrel Records. I don’t have it yet, but I’m fairly confident that it will be awesome. Bookends will also be the headliner for the next Flavour of The Month club that takes place in early december. I’ll make a news entry about that early next week.

New Le Futur Pompiste album that I mentioned a while back is also now officially out and available. Released by the wonderful Shelflife Records. I’ve had it for several weeks and it’s certainly a really good album.

Oh! If you have a chance to see Carmen & The Devil plays Gillian Welch, you really should. They played here in Bar Kuka last friday and I thought they were excellent.

Just a little theme change. I prefer the old one though and probably will change it back in a day or two. But maybe I first try to make a header image to this one and see if this looks any better after that. I really should just buy the css upgrade, because it’s pretty hard to find a default theme that I really like. All of them seem to have a couple of things I don’t like at all.

What else. The best records at the moment are The Striped Album by The Genuine Fakes and The Falcon Lake Incident by Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans. I’ve been really enjoying them a lot lately. Reviews to come when I’ve found the cure for lazyness.
