[QUOTE=yellowval] I’m excited for the new Weezer album to come out. It’s supposed to be released in June. I also didn’t know there were new Dr. Dre and Eminem albums coming out. I’ll be looking forward to Dr. Dre’s more than Eminem’s, having disappointed by his last couple of releases. [/QUOTE] The Dre album has been worked on for over 5+ years. It’s ridiculous now at this point. But that’s the problem with working with an obsessive perfectionist- great for producing other people’s music, terrible for making his own albums. Hell, Eminem’s last album (not the greatest hits one) ended with Em saying that Dre would release the album soon enough. Still hasn’t happened. Eminem is still working on his currently with a few tracks already laid down. But I expect Eminem’s will be out sooner than Dre’s mythical Album. Dre’s _De-Tox_ is the _Chinese Democracy_ of Rap albums. ---

New Blind Melon!!! > **[Blind Melon - For My Friends - Amazon.com Music](https://www.amazon.com/My-Friends-Blind-Melon/dp/B0014DBZRY)** > > The recently reborn Blind Melon will release their first studio album in thirteen years this spring. It introduces new singer Travis Warren as a replacement for late front man Shannon Hoon, who died in 1995. Warren joins original members Rogers... Yes, of course, new singer, but I’m cautiously VERY optimistic from what I’ve heard so far. The band is intact, and IMO they’re about the most underrated ever. ---

April 8th, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Man Man, and Tapes 'n Tapes are out. A few weeks later David Karsten Daniels and No Age drop, and yesterday Sun Kil Moons first original album since 2003 silently found its way to the market. Life is good for music. ---

**Dredg** and **Massive Attack** are slated for new albums, and if they come out this year I’ll be a happy man. I’m sure one of **Mike Patton** ’s projects will release new music, too. ---

Scarlett Johanssen’s album of Tom Waits covers comes out in May, and I’m actually really psyched to hear it: > **[Scarlett Johansson - Anywhere I Lay My Head - Amazon.com Music](https://www.amazon.com/Anywhere-I-Lay-My-Head/dp/B0014IH1N6)** > > Product description NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE Amazon.com On an album of Tom Waits covers one should rightly expect some derelict bravado and gruff to make it a credible cover album. But when the vocals are... If nothing else, it proves that the sexiest actress working today has awesome taste in music, and I’m hoping she sings as good as she looks.
