Out This Week

Some interesting things out this week but the only thing I’m positive about picking up is from an ex-Beatle who falls on my list of artists whose stuff I always pick up regardless.

Paul McCartney - Good Evening New York City

Yes it’s another Paul McCartney live album, but the setlist on this is different enough from his previous live release to make it interesting, plus it comes with a DVD.  I’m looking forward to “Helter Skelter”, “A Day in the Life” and “I’ve Got a Feeling”.

John Mayer - Battle Studies

I need to hear this first.  I respect John Mayer as a musician and songwriter but a lot of times his stuff leaves me cold so I’m leery about buying this without hearing it first.  With every new studio release I keep hoping that it will capture the energy of his live show, so hopefully this is the one.

Rush - Working Men

Really Rush?  Another live album?  With the exception of 2112 I don’t see anything that wasn’t on the last one.  I love them live but this is just too much.

Them Crooked Vultures - s/t

I had no idea they even had a studio album coming out.  This is why the radio sucks, why hasn’t any station been playing this?  I really want to hear it first.

Fall Out Boy - Believers Never Die - Greatest Hits

I like Fall Out Boy enough to pick up a couple of their discs used but for some reason I have no interest in this.  I could see myself listening to it a couple of times and then just putting it away.
