Music News Roundup
I was away for a week in Florida on vacation, so here's a few tidbits I found upon my return to the world of high speed internet.
Juliana Hatfield has 31 unreleased tracks available for download on her website. That's right, 31 songs! These tunes were available on the site previously when she ran an experiment asking fans to make donations through paypal on an "honor system" for each song they downloaded.
The original experiment was a resounding success so she decided to do it again. Here's the list of tunes available for download - a goldmine for Juliana fans.
In other news from the Hatfield front, Some Girls, Juliana's side project with Freda Love (Blake Babies, Mysteries of Life, Lola) and Heidi Gluck (the Pieces), has a new album coming out July 11th on Koch records.
Snow Patrol has a new album, Eyes Open, set for a US release on May 9th. The first single, "You're All I Have" is streaming on their website, where you can also view the video. The band's MySpace page has clips of both the single and another new track, "Hands Open". The two songs are rocking, so I'm really looking forward hearing the full album.
The boys in Stereophonics are releasing a live album, "Live From Dakota", on April 18th in the US. The full album is streaming on their MySpace page for this week only. Here's a sample of The Bartender And The Thief from the record.
Tool's new album, 10,000 Days, is set for release on May 1st. I'm sure it'll be fantastic just like all of their releases. Here's the tracklist:
Gomez is streaming the first single, "How We Operate", from the forthcoming album of the same name on their website. But I captured the stream and now you can have your very own mp3 of the song for yourself. The album is set for a May 2nd release.
Feeder will release Feeder The Singles on May 15th. They recorded a new track, "Lost And Found", for the album and I have a clip of the song here. It's quite the rocker, kinda like old-school Feeder from the Swim days.
Lots of news from the Idlewild camp. Though they've parted ways with their record label, Parlophone/EMI, they're working on songs for a follow up to last year's phenomenal Warnings/Promises. Also, singer Roddy Woomble is working on two other projects. The first, a solo "folk venture" according to the band's website, will be released in July on Pure Records. The second is a joint effort with Inara George, which will likely see a Fall release.
Though it's not really new news, I still wanted to mention that Matt Nathanson is releasing his live At The Point on April 4th. You can preorder the album here from Awarestore. He's a one-of-a-kind performer, so this solo-acoustic live release has been a long time comin' for his fans. I generally don't get into many male singer/songwriters, but if you like that sort of thing Matt is someone you must check out. He's certainly the exception for me.
From greenplastic.com:
Doves will release the download-only Some Cities Live EP on April 10th, tentatively. The EP contains live recordings from their 2005 tours supporting Some Cities. The tracklist is:
Elbow will do a brief US tour in April supporting last year's fantastic Leaders of the Free World. The closest gig to me is in NYC so I may have to make a roadtrip...
Embrace released their follow up to 2005's Out Of Nothing, one of my favorite records of last year, on Monday. This New Day is available only in the UK right now, but through the magic of the internet you can have it delivered via post right to your door. Here's the tracklist:

The tour will be the first opportunity to hear a selection of brand new material that the band has been working on in the studio.
