A VERY good week

yey for marissa nadler and au revoir simone. love them both!

I'm really liking what I've heard of Nick Cave'snew outfit Grinderman released in March. Anyone any clue when the likely appearance of the new Smashing Pumpkins album will be?

Gruff Rhys is the only one I'm interested in from that list. Although, there are a few that I haven't heard of. The Klaxons are bloody shocking though.
