New Releases: mewithoutYou, Eminem, Iron & Wine

This is the week where former pop idols come back out to play. Eminem, Andre 3000, Green Day and Tori Amos all have new albums out.

Don’t mind me; I’ll be the guy in the music nerd corner listening to mewithoutYou, Passion Pit, that collection of Iron & Wine b-sides, Jason Lytle (of Grandaddy) and The Field instead.

And yes, I’m aware that Green Day came out on Friday. That doesn’t make it a better album. Move along.

    Oh, good call. Not sure how I missed that one.

    FYI, everyone: Tumbledown is a rockabilly side project from Mike of MxPx. Rock.

    From what I’ve heard about it, a lot of MxPx fanboys/fangirls are going to be in a huge surprise, lyric wise, with Tumbledown. Not saying that’s a BAD thing. But rockabilly isn’t exactly my thing, so add songs about drinking in and I wouldn’t listen to it, either way.

    And I got my hopes up. Somehow, I saw “Hopewell” as “Hopesfall,” which, for me, would be one of the best things ever.

    Via Indie Vision Music:

    “As much as we love debating over Christians bands versus Christians in a band all day long, this record is mostly about drinking and the life that surrounds it. If that didn’t do it for you, then the use of “d***” (I think you know what that refers to, right?) in the song, “Let’s Drink” probably put this straight to the general market. “
