Would love a new record from The Blue Nile but that’s highly unlikely as from what I’ve read one of the three is estranged and the other two aren’t keen on using the name without him. Paul Buchanan was meant to have a new solo record on the way but not heard anything about that for a while.
I was sitting next to Rosanne at a Ry Cooder show in NY recently (an amazing show by the way) and asked if she's working on anything and with a wry smile she said, "the roses in my garden".
Phil and Dave Alvin... everything they've released since their reconciliation has been extraordinary. You listening Yep Roc?
Patti said in Mojo (newly retired Floyd cover) that Columbia/Sony is giving her the opportunity to make one more album. She also pointed out that her book "Just Kids" was the single most successful thing she'd ever done. Ever.
Actual unreleased & completed studio materiel... Kraftwerk George Clinton Parliament (on cd please, not just download) PG Dire Straits Sly and the Family Stone Talking Heads The Meters King Crimson
I really wish these brothers would get their shoot together and get back to making music together. The world really needs bands like this, and I really need vinyl reissues.
The final Broadcast album they were working on. Understandably it's a tough one to make, but I hope it comes out in my future.
Sade Talk Talk/Mark Hollis Bob Dylan (new material) The Cure And it's been 2.5 months, so I'll add Willie Nelson.
Van Halen w/DLR Brendan Benson Menthol The Circle Jerks Jimmy Page Mick Mars (forever rumored solo album) Poison Digable Planets Paul Westerberg
