Speed! Nebraska update; cleaning out the CD review attic...
|
|||||||||||
The fine folks at Speed! Nebraska sent out their summer/fall update last week. It's an aggressive schedule that rivals the output of any other Nebraska label. Among the releases: --The Third Men's long-awaited debut, Boost, is slated for release next month. I've been hearing about it for what seems like forever. I'm sure we'll be getting a sneak peak at some of the new songs when The Third Men perform at O'Leaver's anniversary show Saturday afternoon. --Ideal Cleaners' new long-player, Muchacho, is slated for a mid-September release. --Bombardment Society is finishing up tracks for Pistons, which will be out in early fall. --Last but not least, Domestica have been recording at ARC Studios (that's the Mogis compound) for a Speed! release with a street date TBD. In addition, rumor has it that Speed! Nebraska will have new apparel available in the near future. Half my rock-shirt wardrobe is taken up by Speed! Nebraska gear (including very rare D is for Dragster and Mercy Rule T-shirts that we all know would fetch hundreds on e-bay). Check out speednebraska.com for more info. * * * You may have noticed that the Reviews Matrix was finally updated Monday night. While logging 70-some discs into the table, I got an idea for a new blog feature called "Cold Call," wherein I randomly pick a CD off the stack every day and review it. I figure, at the pace of a review a day, I'll get through all the CDs on the Matrix sometime in 2010. If the disc is a real stinker, there may only be a "No" rating and a summary of what they were trying for. Some reviews will be more detailed. Look for the first one (probably) tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll get some help burrowing through the stack of discs from my trusty intern, Brendan Greene-Walsh, who owes me a shit-ton of reviews (Where the f*** are they, Brendan?). Here are some leftover Brendan reviews that I've been sitting on:
This week's column (online tomorrow) is a brief history of O'Leaver's in celebration of five years of vice and debauchery. See you then. --Got comments? Post 'em here.-- |
