Been itching for that Lil Wayne “rock” album that probably isn’t very rocky at all? Well, it appears it’s finally arrived. But I’m not holding my breath til I see it on the shelves.

Otherwise it’s a pretty dead week. Unless you like The Album Leaf, Blind Man’s Colour, Mount Eerie, Passion Pit, Priestess, Rob Zombie or Sole. In which case it’s not really a dead week at all.

   this is a bit late but The Wonder Years released The Upsides in mid January. Also, yesterday Chad from NFG tweeted about their NFG/Dashboard split 7 inch being for sale and yesterday it was, but now it seems to be gone? It was up at newfoundglorystuff.com and it has each band covering 2 songs from the other band.

   I expect the Lil Wayne rock album to be terrible but I’m dying to hear it so I can confirm that. Glad that Madlib made the list.

   I’m trying to decide if I like this Shining band…they got the Mike Patton spirit in ‘em.

   Vedera is worth mentioning. Check them out if you need a new band to listen to.

   this BG folk loves Lil Wayne, when he’s on, he’s not always on and I suspect this rock album won’t be Lil Wayne at his best.
