I'm just hoping the Economy doesn't get any worse... it sucks when you need new clothes, new amp, new glasses and a new computer when you and your parents can't afford it.

Well, there's a few releases I'm anticipating in 2009 (that have been confirmed), and they are Maylene, He Is Legend, and Matisyahu.

Dallas Taylor said that Maylene is gonna do some more bluesy stuff on the new album, which I'm excited for. As for He Is Legend, I hope smoking doesn't effect Schuylar Croom's vocals any more. I miss his pretty vox. And I know Matisyahu will pull it off again.

Also eager to hear the new Green Day (even though I'm not a fan).

I read an article somewhere, yahoo maybe, that said it was going to be a step towards powerpop.

they should do a powerviolence album

Get a job punk...

Be thankful you don't have to struggle to pay rent and bills each fortnight :(

Apparently after he finishes touring, Nick Cave's gonna take to the studio with Grinderman again to make another record (one which he wants to be more like a Bad Seeds one alledgedly). Can't remember where I read that, or how much truth there is to it, but if it does happen it'll definitely happen next year.

Of course there's Blur's reformation and whatever might come of that. I expect we'll see a new Fall album sometime next year too, and a tour (hopefully a stop by Greater Manchester too).

Unfortunately there'll be a new U2 album as well...
