The Bottle Rockets, Kurt Vile, Primal Scream and Tom Morello for me this week.
What is the Primal Scream album exactly, is it just remasters of the album or is lost demos etc ?

The Bottle Rockets, Kurt Vile, Primal Scream and Tom Morello for me this week.
From what I’ve read, they recorded most of the album in Memphis, their label said they weren’t enough hits so they re-recorded some of the tracks in the UK for the final release.What is the Primal Scream album exactly, is it just remasters of the album or is lost demos etc ?

“Disc” 1 of this is the original recordings, with “Disc” 2 being demos, outtakes and other bits
Missing from @Arkle ‘S list for this week is a combination of 2 of my favourite things - twee Australian indie pop and beer as the soundtrack to the Ben Lee/Tom Robbins musical “B is for Beer” is released.
It’s very musical theatre. Some of it is very clever though. The opening track has the lyric even Albert said “Ein Stein” which I found funnier than it should be.
I’ve not had a chance to check out KV yet but it’s probably next on my list.From this week's releases...
Titus Andronicus - a lot better than their most recent album.
Kurt Vile - really good. Instantly recognisable as KV. 80 minutes long but doesn't seem like it.
John Grant - good but I wish he'd step back at times toward Queen of Denmark style balladry.
Goatman - predictably, if you like Goat you'll like this. A bit more obviously Afrobeat than their stuff and male vocals, not female.
Anna St Louis - sort of indie-folk-soul. Lovely voice.
Connan Mockasin - sleazy funk. Interesting. Seems a bit slight for a full album.
Colter Wall - enjoyable, old school outlaw country. Make that very enjoyable!
Jim Ghedi & Toby Hay - folk guitar heroes *2. Really quite lovely!

Not that impressed this week. There’s been a lot of hype around Greta Van Fleet so I’ll probably give it a spin. Maybe Soulfly and Jimmy Urine.Not quite so much out this week as the past couple. Besides the TVAM album, there are releases from Ace Frehley, Cloud Nothings, Disturbed, Elle King, Empress Of, Farao, Greta Van Fleet, How to Dress Well, Jimmy Urine, Lil Yachty, MØ, Neneh Cherry, Papercuts, Peter Bjorn and John, Richard Ashcroft, Soulfly, Will Oldham, Yoko Ono, Blancmange and Pixies (the Come On Pilgrim/Surfer Rosa 3 disc box thing).

On an aside, is anyone here familiar with Lydia Loveless? I was recommended her most recent (2017) album via Apple Music and it’s stupendous. Alt-Country/outlaw-country type stuff with a definite late 90s/early 00s jangly American indie-rock influence. I’ve also discovered that she’s toured with the Supersuckers on more than one occasion so I assume there might be some cowpunk in her back catalogue.
i didnt quite understand why he decided to burn a copy of the nme on instagram?I’ll check out Ashcroft just to see if it’s as bad as everyone says it is.
He’s having a complete meltdown over his 1/5 review in the metro paper.

he should embrace it the way that noel did with that irish times review of his own album...
Empress Of new stuff is more mainstream than her previous work, but I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I liked the originality of her earlier stuff. I have to give it a few more listens.Not quite so much out this week as the past couple.

yeah his instagram feed is bizarre mind, sort of trying to ape a liam gallagher type persona but coming off all low-rent. sometimes seeing behind the curtain isnt great.He acted a right tit with the soccer AM / drugs thing, instead of laughing it off he was posting videos of himself getting all angry about it. Bloe needs to lighten up a bit.
"Money Money, a Poundland Gimme Shelter"The hatchet job the metro paper did on him was the funniest. If you havn't read it i beg you to.
"keeping the faith in solid Noel-rock song-writing"the NME, they give him a 2/5 review
