ALBUMS WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IN '07

Next year looks to be a pretty stellar for us musically, with most of our top bands putting a CD out. Good for 2007, bad for the withdrawl the next few years will bring.

The Good, The Bad, The Queen - The Good, The Bad, The Queen: Out January 22nd

The Shins - Wincing the Night Away: Out January 22nd

Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City: Out February 7th

Arcade Fire's Neon Bible out March or April with European dates in January

Interpol: Recording now in NYC, hopefully a 2007 date.

DOVES "We’re hoping to get in the studio proper Feb '07 to record these songs fast (that’s the plan anyway) & we’re aiming, all being well, for summer/autumn 2007 release."

Stars Maybe a new album by Fall

Maybe some Radiohead, Postal Service?

* I started this last week but Stereogum beat me to it with a more comprehensive list. Check there for more releases.
