As I do most mornings upon arriving at the Furriners compound (after passing through multiple levels of security), I checked Pitchfork this morning to find a welcome surprise:
New Bright Eyes: "Haile Selassie"
After forking over my actual e-mail address, I was in possession of a new Bright Eyes mp3!
Then I started to listen to it. My reaction: Imagine a smiling baby biting into your mom's worst meatloaf. WTF is this?!!?
Okay, okay. It's not THAT bad. Problem is that is piggy-backing on the new Iron and Wine record release on Tuesday that kind of blows. And that had followed the Sufjan Stevens album released last year which was a disappointment to this humble blogger.
This makes me nervous about the next Flaming Lips record! Things are not going my way.
Update: And, just for the record, I hope we've seen the worst of Wilco with the snooze-fest that was Sky Blue Sky!
