I just found out Coheed and Cambria have a new album coming out in April, so my inner nerd is full of glee. There's also new High on Fire and the first new Burzum album in like ten years coming out in March, to satisfy metalheads of all stripes.

The New Pornographers - Together (May 4th)

Amazing.

New MGMT, Downie and Wintersleep on the way around that time, it is going to be a damn good era.

[Lizard King]

Dont forget Jimi Hendrix, Mar 9th!

second half of 2010 - Radiohead - yet untitled

I haven't been reading any Radiohead info lately, but I thought they 'decided' not to release anymore LP and just songs here and there.

Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien has revealed that the band is recording a new album that will be released in 2010. Thom Yorke previously hinted that they might be growing tired of the album format, but a summer spent in the studio has apparently caused him to change his mind. O'Brien has said in an interview with NME that they would "definitely" be releasing an album next year.

“We were misquoted,” O’Brien said of Yorke’s comments, before adding, “WE WILL BE MAKING AN ALBUM!” The guitarist must have welcomed a chance to talk about music again after his recent spat with Lily Allen. It’s not yet known how the album will be released, but he suggests that Radiohead still has a lot of time for physical formats.

“We love the artwork; that’s really important, the physicality,” he said. “And we all like vinyl. That’s not going to go away. I still like CDs as well. I got the Speech Debelle CD the other day – I nearly downloaded it from iTunes but I thought, ‘No. I want the physical thing.’

:jump Their first album was absolutely incredible, I can't wait for this release.

[EPenguin10]

I completely second that. Their EP released just before that album was also fantastic...has anyone here seen them perform?

[HandsInTheRiver41]

I've seen them three times. The first two times were at large outdoor venues and band was mostly sitting the entire show. The third time I saw them was in a tiny club and they were on their feet rocking out (relatively) the entire time.

[sherpa]

I saw them at Massey Hall this year and it was hands down the best show I saw all year - with the exception of 3 nights of Marillion in Montreal.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the new album from The National called "High Violet" finally has a release date of May 11th, same day as Gord Downie's new solo disc. What a magnificent day that's gonna be!

This May 11th seems like it is going to break the bank. I feel that a lot of great albums are out in May (without directly verifying) and especially that date. HMV is making a hellalot of money from me.

[direwolf74]

Holy crap, the month of May is gonna be like a massive torpedo hit to my bank account. I Just found out the new Hold Steady album will be released on May 4th. Here's the official track listing:

1. The Sweet Part of the City
2. Soft in the Center
3. The Weekenders
4. The Smidge
5. Rock Problems
6. We Can Get Together
7. Hurricane J
8. Barely Breathing
9. Our Whole Lives
10. A Slight Discomfort

So to sum up, between May 4th and 18th, we've got brand new albums from the Hold Steady, The New Pornographers, Gord Downie, the National, and Wintersleep. Did I miss anything?
