Islands
Franz Ferdinand
Wolf Parade

are all coming out with albums in 08, if what I'm hearing is true. I'd desperately love to hear some new stuff from them.

What about The Magnetic Fields' Distortion?! No one's mentioned TMF? I, for one, am ready to pee my pants in excitement.

NIN.

I'm sure there was too, but Mr. Merritt seems to be putting it off and putting it off. However, the other day I got an e-mail from The House of Tomorrow (their web site / mailing list) saying: "The Magnetic Fields are happy to announce that their new album, titled "Distortion," will be released on Nonesuch Records on January 15, 2008. The band will perform a small number of U.S. tour dates in February and March. Specific details regarding venues and ticket pre-sales will be announced shortly."

No, no Mike. This is for 2008, not 2012.

Is it just speculation or have Of Montreal stated that they're coming out with something in '08?

Having listened to a few Vampire Weekend songs, it sounds like I have some indie pop to look forward to in early 2008.

This has probably been on the "anticipated albums" list since 2005 or so. I would also be looking forward to a new Wrens album, but I don't have a good feeling...

Hey, we were saying this about the new Radiohead and Postal Service albums, weren't we? I mean, look at it now...

One out of two ain't bad.

I think/hope it's Postal Service. Think Ben Gibbard can repeat what happened on the first one. One of my favs of the decade....

Well, I'm hoping for a Postal Service, because the last DCFC blew goats. I'm not even that optimistic about a new Postal Service record though. I think Gibbard has really gone downhill as a songwriter. Transatlanticism had a few good ones, but it was weaker than all the previous DCFC albums. Dude's lost it...and of course is therefore becoming massively popular. Just goes to prove that popularity has almost no correlation to quality. Same thing happened to the Shins.

Worse record + More publicity = Massive popularity

Kinda sad, I actually have a list on my compuer:

2008
The Cure!
Patrick Wolf
Deerhunter
Junior Boys
Of Montreal
The Raconteurs
Magnetic Fields
M83
Von Bondies
The Postal Service
Sigur Ros
Ladytron
Islands
Pixies (are they still making an album?)
Wolf Parade
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Be Your Own Pet
Stellastarr* (I liked their first, hated their second.)

Except that Wincing the Night Away was their best album...

I will agree that Plans wasn't as good as some of their older stuff, but I'm still willing to see what DC are doing for the new one. Since they've actually said they're in the studio for it, I'd expect the DCFC album before the Postal Service album.

No one has mentioned R.E.M. yet. I'm looking forward to that one.

I'll also jump on the Vampire Weekend bandwagon. I'm looking forward to the new Tapes 'N Tapes as well.

Centro-Matic/South San Gabriel

Talked to one of the band members of Destroyer yesterday at a local indie record he works at, in Vancouver here, they've just finished up the new Destroyer record and he describes it as hard-hitting, I said, "what does that mean?" He says, the drums are more up front, I guess it's going to be a louder record, not sure.

You can add a Spring release of a new Hold Steady album to the "anticipated" list.

Yep. It's called "Skeletal Lamping" and it's apparently 100 pieces of songs all put together. Those are the rumors I've heard so far.

Wow, I thought you were kidding, but I checked out Wikipedia and you're right. After all, Presidential front runner Stephen Colbert trusts it with his life, so I do too.

If this is actually true it is easily my most anticipated album ever.

Oh hey Sinister, congrats on becoming a Jedi.

2008 looks like a pretty dry year right now. Death Cab, Chris Walla, Of Montreal...

Of course, there are rumors of a new Tribe Called Quest album, which I'd love to hear.

I'm sure there was some anticipation about the newest Magnetic Fields album in the Anticipated 2007 Release thread, although I don't recall anybody needing to go to the bathroom.

Primus! Hope this one actually comes out this year. Death Cab,The Postal Service, The Roots,Queens of the Stone age all should be nice.

I'm not overly excited but it should be interesting to hear new Nada Surf, Mars Volta, Coldplay,

Surprised no one has mentioned Guns and Roses. Ha!
