New Music Tuesday: New Muesday
New albums come out on Tuesday. I don’t know if you kids knew this, what with your digital thievery and what not. I don’t think there’s an official day for leaks.
Tuesday used to be a big day for me. I used to wait in line to buy new albums the night they were released. I remember waiting in line for the midnight release of Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral album at Wherehouse Records in Ann Arbor. I was pretty pumped for that record, apparently. And when I got it, I ran screaming back to my dorm room as if on fire and made my roommate listen to it on repeat for the rest of the night while I poured Goldschlager shots down his throat. I don’t know if that last part happened. But that’s definitely what I would do if The Downward Spiral was released today.
Well, it’s Tuesday, and it’s Awkward Press, and I have new music, and that means one thing: it’s New Muesday! In which I take a good, critical listen to the 5 latest records that have found their way into my iTunes. (By good, critical listen, I mean I will have it on in the background while I do other things.) They may be new records, they may be old records, but one thing is for certain: they will not be records. They will be digital globs of ones and zeroes that produce pleasing tones. Are we ready? Let’s do this bitch!
