3 new Lana Del Rey songs, probably from her upcoming album, got released yesterday.

Another late addition for me!
The Tragically Hip just announced a new release for tomorrow: Saskadelphia is a collection of previously unreleased Road Apples era songs.
(Saskadelphia was the working title for Road Apples but the label deemed it "too Canadian.")
This is actually really good....
(Also, you gotta love how their answer to the label for their original title being "too Canadian" was basically "horse shit".)
Wait what!? A Toronto boy that doesn't like The Hip??? How can that be? It's a travesty, said the guy who never liked them eitherI'm not a huge Hip fan -- used to be a big hater, actually -- but I'm digging this halfway through. Maybe part of it is missing being out and about in Canada in the summertime, but it's good stuff.

I think I mentioned this in another thread but when I was in high school, all the country boys that I didn't get along with at all listened exclusively to the Hip and that turned me off huge, haha. I gradually chilled out and thankfully as I aged, cliques and shit ceased to matter so I opened up to them a bit and around the time of their final tour I finally start to get their appeal.Wait what!?

That's a pretty great origin story. Two of my best friends did their went to Queen's as well so I spent a good amount of time in Kingston during those years.I'm a fan of all the early stuff. Kind of lost touch after Phantom Power though. I did my undergrad at Queen's during the early 90's. They were everywhere and it was hard to not love them. My real introduction to the Hip was when walking on Princess street by the local record shop and seeing a gigantic line-up there. I asked what was happening and someone told me the new Tragically Hip record was being released (that would be Road Apples). I though to myself that I liked that New Orleans Is Sinking song, so I just lined up too.... well, fast forward a few months and we ended up driving to Ottawa for Canada Day to watch them play at Landsdowne. Gord had a special energy to him during those years.
So these 3 new singles are from her upcoming LP "Blue Banisters" which is slated to come out July 4th but what about "Rock Candy Sweet" Is that album still a go?
I'm also really enjoying the new Lord Huron concept album "Long Lost". There's a real Fleet Foxes vibe on this one with a nice delicate vintage country miidle-America background mixed in with 1950s variety television "program"
I was hyped for last week, but most of the releases didn't really grab me. This week however, I'm pleasantly surprised to really enjoy everything I've checked out so far! All of these albums have been great on first listen:
Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR (didn't think this was for me but really like it)
Mat Kearney - January Flower
Robert Finley - Sharecropper's Son (the latest from Easy Eye Sound, produced by Dan Auerbach)
Georgia Anne Muldrow - VWETO III (some really cool instrumental stuff)
I liked a couple of songs (namely damn Right and Top Again) from Audrey Nuna - a liquid breakfast as well.
Great release day!

My copy arrived today. It's such a great package, the booklet is awesome.
Both incredible albums!My two favorite releases from last week are Afrique Victime by Mdou Moctar and Long Lost by Lord Huron
Don't forget about Prince posthumously saying "Happy Birthday" with Welcome 2 America.Well it certainly is nice of Billie Eilish, Durand Jones & The Indications, and Yola to wish you a happy birthday via album drops haha
