new stuff
today, there were three new releases of interest. i pre-ordered them last week, and the parcel arrived this afternoon. nice!i bought these albums without having heard them first; they're all from artists i like.
the cure - 4:13 dream
having seen them in concert earlier this year, i knew i had to get this album, no matter what it sounds like.
ryan adams - cardinology
another album by the prolific singer. i wonder if this leans towards the 'rock' or 'country' side...
snow patrol - a hundred million suns
a guilty pleasure: yeah, i like this band, even though they make radio-friendly music typically found in teen dramas.

snow patrol
after hearing their new album, snow patrol is my favourite band of the week. on my way to school today, i saw that hmv has two of their albums on special, "songs for polarbears" and "when it's all over we still have to clear up". i got them, of course. it appears these are re-releases, and so they come with extra tracks.this completes my snow patrol album discography.

snow patrol
about two weeks ago, i was surprised to see that snow patrol has a new album out. i didn't even know that they had new material. sure, i loved the previous "final straw", but i've not heard anything from the new album "eyes open", so i did not get it. when i arrived home, i listened to a few song samples from their website. it sounded okay. then, i got a futureshop gift card. at the store today, i decided to get "eyes open".the album sounds average. pretty standard rock. nothing too surprising. but i like it.
my favourite track is "set fire to the third bar", as it features martha wainwright on vocals. perhaps i should check out her album...
