The Killers
Patrick Wolf (WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOO!!!!!)

There might be more, but I can't remember...
some of these surprise me since they realized something last year, but, I'm not complaining...

P.S. Patrick Wolf's album is either double, or will be followed by another album shortly after... he said he had TONS of material and couldn't fit it on to one CD.

I thought there was already a thread like this, but I guess it was just a couple posts in a different thread. Here's my post copied from there:

Definitely want to buy:
Chris Walla-“Field Manual” (January 29)
What Made Milwaukee Famous-“What Doesn’t Kill Us” (March 4)

Colin Meloy-“Skulls, Ship, Sheep” (April 8)
Greg Laswell LP (July)
Death Cab for Cutie (May)

Stuff that I'll probably buy/want to buy:

Modest Mouse b-sides
Flight of the Conchords
and more, I'm sure

Keane is releasing album three this year!!! woot!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa... Colin Meloy?!

Yep yep. I don't really know much about it, but perhaps someone else does. I know the name came from props he had onstage during a solo show.

I googled it, and all I can find is that it's a solo album. That's all I need to know.

Info on Colin Meloy live album...

On April 8, Kill Rock Stars will release Colin Meloy Sings Live! - a 14-song set documenting Colin's 2006 solo U.S. tour. As those of you know who saw the shows, Colin stripped down to an acoustic guitar and was accompanied by a skull named Cheryl, a ship named Maya Angelou and a small stuffed sheep named Erick (the c is silent). The album will be released in the U.S. and Canada on CD and double gatefold vinyl. We expect to announce a European release date shortly.

hehe the streets make me laugh. Original Pirate Material is pretty good though.

A long time ago, my friend sent me a parody of The Streets she found. I can't find anything about it on the internet but I have it labeled "Big Blue Sweater" by Raizin as The Streets:download
