July 9, 2007Hear The Echoes Of The Foo Fighters
Mark your calendars for September 25th 2007. That is the day that Foo Fighters will release their sixth full length album entitled "Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace"
The album should be extra special to long time fans of the Foo because it marks the return of producer Gil Norton who worked with the band on their second album "The Colour and the Shape" which is said to be the favorite amongst die hard fans of the band. SPIN has provided the tracklisting for the album, although the correct order of the songs has yet to be determined: The Pretender Let it Die Erase/Replace Long Road to Ruin Come Alive Stranger Things Have Happened Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make-Up is Running) Summers End Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners Statues But, Honestly Home

May 24, 2007If anything could ever be this good again... [05.24.07]I just got really excited.  It's been ten years (May 20, 1997) since one of my favorite albums EVER came out: the Foo Fighters are re-releasing The Colour and the Shape on July 10th. A pinnacle album of my lifetime, I can still remember being a high-schooler and rocking out in my room when I first heard "Monkeywrench" on the radio. When the album came out, I was amazed at the fact that I loved every single song. "Walking After You," "Everlong," and "Hey, Johnny Park!" remain my favorites. Foo Fighters were also my first concert (with Ben Folds Five). So, what does this reissue offer me??? MORE SONGS! According to this article: In addition to the original album on its first disc, the new version will feature covers of Killing Joke's "Requiem," Gary Numan's "Down in the Park" and Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street," plus the B-sides "Drive Me Wild," "Dear Lover" and "The Colour and the Shape." I understand that I could probably get those b-sides if I wanted, but the Foo Fighters are so ingrained in my brain as 90s, that I never associate the band with all the downloading and technology goings-on. Does that even make sense? For instance, if I hear The Killers have a b-side I can download, I'm there - but downloading never comes to mind for Foo Fighters. They're currently recording with Gil Norton, producer of Colour. Is it just me, or have most of their albums post-Colour been not as awesome? I still enjoy them, but nothing can touch those songs. Maybe it was the time, the era. Hm. In summary, I'm ready. Currently working on: - Oh, DJ Rosstar, how you're guiding my music catologue-ing. I'm in a group here on Buzznet called "5 Songs That Changed My Life." I have everything written out, I just need to find time to post it with a picture. You can bet a pick off Colour is on my list. - DJ Rosstar also recently asked the top five albums you can listen to all the way through. Upon thinking about it, it's kind of hard. I have to rethink a list I already posted over at my livejournal two years ago...it's new criteria, and it's definitely changed. Erica & Bree & John & Michelle already have awesome lists ! Um, who's as stoked on 90s alternative as I am?? I need to go listen to some Garbage now or something...
