THE LOBBY: ANOTHER WEAK WEEK FOR ALBUMS
March 6th 2007 09:28
As you may know if you’ve read this, I’m shakin’ up the Earache Hotel by sticking to a shorter word limit. Sorry if this disappoints anyone (yeah, right) but I think it will be better for all of us.
Your comments will help this new direction greatly. If you want me to go into more depth (like asking me which other albums by an artist might be to your liking, as people did on my Tom Waits Orphans review) then just post a comment. I’m open to discussion, and would enjoy some company to take my mind off the fact that the Earache Hotel is just a computer, a desk, and a chair that keeps losing its wheels and dropping me on my ass whenever I move.
I’m getting behind (geddit?), but the Ween review is on its way along with Barry Adamson. I was about to launch into the new Albums of the Week, but fuck it. I think I might hold off till next week and catch up. Sorry yonicsooth (as you seem to be the only one voting lately) but also to everyone else.
Maybe this should become Albums of the Fortnight. Like I said that time when my cousin Chet told me his wife had just given birth to conjoined twins: It doesn’t have the same ring does it?

Who are the Red Riders?
As for Nick Cave, there'll be a review of the Abattoir Blues Tour DVD coming up soon, and I just got the debut from his side-project Grinderman that I'll be reviewing. It's weirdly original and interesting.
P.S. I think there've been plenty of decent Australian releases lately, particularly Turnpike's last album.

I'll be reading for the Grinderman review. Silly name though.

Red Riders aren't bad. They've got that post-punk guitar sound that I like, and an ear for a good tune. I dig the tune 'Slide In Next to Me' (maybe its just the bass in the verses) but it's not really my thing.
I've been pretty slack with the blog lately. It's uni holidays soon which will hopefully give me time to expand and post up all the Tsunami reviews. I'll let you know.
