It’s not really May 28th right now but that’s when I wanted to post these songs. I went on vacation before I wrote anything for them but now I’m back…
Wilco’s new album, Wilco (The Album), is due on June 30th. A blog my friend showed me a couple of weeks ago showed me a link (here) back on May 13th so I was able to listen to a copy. I wasn’t immediately impressed as I was expecting, but the more I listened, the more I liked it. Now I think it’s great. These guys have something special and it really shines on this latest album. I might like Sky Blue Sky a little more but we’ll see what I’m saying in another few weeks. It really does seem like it gets better the more I listen though because I didn’t think it was that great when I first listened. I did say that I might come around with Wilco and this album, and I definitely have.

Doves released their new album Kingdom of Rust in April 2009. I would describe their music as new wave, electronic rock but I’m sure the fans who have been listening to them since the early 90’s would want to describe them a little differently. Their song “Jetstream” is one of my favorite tracks of this year and the album is great. Thanks go to Scott S who, aside from introducing them to me in the post he wrote a while back, also recommended the new album to me.

Zion I’s debut album Mind Over Matter was released back in 2000 and I’ve been paying attention ever since. On May 26th, Zion I released Don’t Lose Your Head – EP and The Takeover (Bonus Edition). The EP is 5 tracks, 4 of those 5 are versions of “Don’t Lose Your Head” which was originally released in 2007 on a Too Short and Friends album. The Takeover was released 5 months ago and now they’re rereleasing it with a music video of one of the songs added at the end. Whatever the story behind these re-releases is, I still like Mind Over Matter, a lot.
