"(The recording) is great. We're all finished tracking, so we're getting ready to mix the record here with a fella called Joe Chiccarelli, who's fantastic, and then we let it hit the streets in September."
The new record is going to be called In Our Bedroom After The War, and Millan figures the band will be touring for much of the year after it comes out."
Flaming Lips and the Shins? What a great performance - I'd love to see the Flaming Lips live. They were even joined by guest Chan Marshall (Cat Power) to do Sabbath's War pigs.
I just watched that video on youtube and she sang probably the worst rendition of War Pigs I have ever heard. Near the end it sounded like she belonged in a karaoke bar. Sorry to bash her, but as a big Sabbath fan that was tough to listen to. Her other stuff was good though, she has a good voice, just not that night apparently.
It's not as good as their other albums, but overall, its strong. I only felt that three tracks were 5 star-worthy, however the album as a whole, is a good listen.

How many listens did you give it to come to that conclusion? Not criticizing, just curious...because I (biggest AIC fan in the world) remember absolutely hating Alice's 'Dirt' for about a week after it came out, except for the song Would? which had been out for months. Now it's one of my all time favorites.
I find a lot of stuff grows on me.

A little off-topic, but did anyone see Austin City Limits on PBS HD last night?

HDNet is great too for live performances, and the show True Music has interesting acts.
Cat Power (among many others) is playing the first annual "Sled Island" festival in Calgary at the end of June.

I've given the album about 4 or 5 full listens already actually.
I actually rated four of the tracks a full 5-stars. One 4-star track, and eight 3-star.
Which is actually about on par with how I rather all their other albums, yet this album doesn't have the same tone... or impact to it.

It's quite different.
Thanks for the detail. I can't wait.
I thought Lullabies was quite different from its predecessor actually.

more female fronted metal, but this is quite different from the rest. pure melodic death metal with a mix of clean and rough vocals. this is the first single from the new album Wolves that just came out
Just listened to a really good release from a band called Red. Sort of a Three Days Grace sound for the most part, although you can definitely hear some Linkin Park influences. Really strong disk. Interestingly, they are a Christian band, but aren't really obvious in any shape or form.
Got any myspace or youtube links? I was at the store today and saw nada, so I wouldn't mind hearing some songs.

Rockstar, any tracks leak from it?
IIRC there is some way you can listen to the new single on www.matthewgood.org
It involves some sign-up, but it's free and fast. Also, it's mentioned on the site that the entire album will be available for listening several weeks before the CD comes out. Seeing as how it's only about 7-8 weeks away, that should be soon.
And, MG was on the Vancouver station FOX (I think) and they played the single. He also did some acoustic. I believe that's up on his website as well.

I had posted the link to Red's myspace on the page before but I'll repost it here http://www.myspace.com/dropofred that's Red's myspace if anyone is interested,
Matthew Good's new album entitled "Hospital Music" is slated for release on July 31.
Great!
Matthew Good was my favorite musican for almost 10 years of my life - his last album wasn't all that great but I've liked what I've heard from this new one so far. I'm hoping he can pull it together and put out a good release.

Really loving that new MG track. Didn't need to sign-up to hear it.
