2007 continues its musical reign

The White Stripes announce the release of Icky Thump worldwide June 19th! Plus, the music that plays on the site's welcome page made my 15-month-old stop what he was doing and dance. Can't beat that.

This news comes on top of the already-released albums by The Shins, of Montreal, Modest Mouse, and The Rosebuds. Still to come: Rufus Wainwright, Liam Finn, The New Pornographers, Crowded House, Wilco, etc. Even the two new Tori tracks I downloaded the other day aren't horrible (though I'll be damned if I can find a link to the site that had them).

Basically every band I like has a new record this year except Belle & Sebastian. I swear even John & George are sending demos to Paul & Ringo from the great beyond.

Actually, it's not QUITE new Belle and Sebastian, but...

Q.So, you guys aren't doing much now, which is fine, you've earned it. So why not release the BBC Sessions disc that you've previously said was ready to go? What better time?

A. There was something holding it up but I think it'll be resolved soon, I would have thought the album would be out this year but I've been wrong before.

(and you know who the Adam who asked the question is? Me!)

And, Traveling Wilburies reissues coming out, that's sort of Beatles releated, right? And the Beatles themselves are rumored to be reissuing everything soon, that would be exciting.

Why would I be excited about Beatles reissues? So I can buy 25 more CDs that I already have and never listen to anymore?
