What new Cd's/DVD's are you awaiting...

[estranged4life]

to be released in 2005?

DVD-I haven't seen anything of interest but I do know of a few imports I plan to buy to save $$$$ since the US versions are too damn expensive:

Inu Yasha Episode 18-54
Inu Yasha Episode 55-76
Wolf's Rain Complete Series (English Dub) Episodes 1-30

Cd's-I am awaiting for my import version of Chris Caffery's (Of Savatage/TSO fame http://www.chriscaffery.com ) import cd set "Faces/God Damn War" which will blasted at louder than usual volume (The just released US version has been slightly edited/altered so the full length bonus disc "God Damn War" is now titled "That Damn War".)

Def Leppard-"The Best Of Def Leppard" (Probably order the import since it has already been released in Europe for a few months, No telling when the US version will be released...Hope to find the 2 disc version since it is the limited edition version.)

Steve Vai-Real Illusions

Black Label Society-Mafia

Plus I found Queen's boxed set "Crown Jewels" (Their first 8 releases in a chest like box) on eBay for $35, So I will be picking that up too.

[dissention]

Cyndi Lauper's complete Shine album - It was only released in Japan and I ordered it last week for $45. :rolleyes:

The new Garbage album. I'm dying to hear it, it's supposed to be phenomenal.

The new Debbie Harry solo album. No idea when it's coming out, but she supposedly completed 15 tracks for it with Blow Up. Should be pretty amazing.

Franz Ferdinand's second album. First they said it would be out in late summer, but now they're saying it will be out by April. I? Am ecstatic. I literally can't wait.

A new Bowie album. I'm expecting one very soon, he's not one to wait years and years to release albums. And he seems to have gotten "it" back after releasing Heathen and Reality within only a year of each other, and they were fantastic.

As for DVDs...

Punky Brewster: Season Two (I can't wait!)
American Gothic: Complete Series (who knows if it will be released, but I heard they're starting to prepare it and, if so, I'll pay any ridiculous amount of money that they may ask for it)

[Nixxxed]

Gee, bet you could never guess in a million years which one I'm waiting for... :D

NEW GARBAGE. <333

Oh, and Debbie Harry's new solo album. I'm also interested in the rumored recording that Chrissie Hynde and Adam Seymour may be doing with this Brazillian Bossa Nova band. Oughta be... interesting. Don't know if it'll be out in '05, if ever, though. OH! And Tom Petty's new album! Duh. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

[Hawkeye]

only Lindsey'pcoming CD (I'm CONFIDNET it's coming out this year) And who is this Frans Ferdinand guy. What kind of music is he, I've heard nothing but utter amazment from this board. Is it German at all. It sounds like a german band.

[amber]

I heard a song off the not yet released CD on the radio today. It was ok. her voice sounded great as usual, but i didn't love the particular song. It kinda sounded like a bunch of the other girls singing today. I'm sure it will be good, though.

I want both of the above mentioned, especially Debbie's...mmmmmmmm

Ooh, yeah, Lindsey's album. I'm crossing my fingers for that one. :nod:

Franz Ferdinand is a band. ;) And a bloody fantastic one. They're from Scotland. If you like New Wave, check them out.

I've heard all of the tracks from Shine and it's FABULOUS. I'll send you a few songs once I get it. Madonna Whore is particularly good.

I'd normally be excited about a Debbie solo album, but I'm dying to hear this one. She did it with Blow Up and if her past collabortions with them are any indication, her new album should be a classic.

Thanks! I'll probably buy it, too, Cyndi is rarely, if ever, not good. Her voice just won't let her be bad! :p
What else did debbie do with Blow Up? As you may know, I only have Debravation...(<3)

I've only heard it on the web, called "Sleeps With Butterflies". :thumbsup:

I liked it OK, but I'm pretty ambivalent towards most of her slower stuff. The weirder, wilder, and crazier her stuff is, the more likely it is to give me goosebumps.

I also like the way she names her songs. The Beekeeper songs are: Parasol,
Sweet the Sting, The Power of Orange Knickers, Jamaica Inn, Barons of Suburbia, Sleeps with Butterflies, General Joy, Mother Revolution, Ribbons Undone, Cars and Guitars, Witness, Original Sinsuality, Ireland, The Beekeeper, Martha's Foolish Ginger, Hoochie Woman, Goodbye Pisces, Marys of the Sea, and Toast.

And yes, that's 19 tracks!!! Her last album had 18, just like the Mac's. I don't care what the f*cking reviewers say -- long albums rule! All the artists I follow take years between albums, and have sh*tloads of unreleased tracks. So, the more tracks per CD for me, the better I like it!!!

[Nixxxed]

Oh yeah, and I'm also eagerly awaiting the new Erasure album, released next Tuesday the 25th.

The title of the CD is ...

*drum rollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll*









NIGHTBIRD!!!

Hey Diss -- you might know this...

Is there a special edition of Hat Full of Stars? My ex and I were all over that album, and saw Cyndi at a tiny club show in Houston that year. We heard there was an import version, or maybe just a special limited edition, that had unreleased tracks and an acoustic version of "Feels Like Christmas" (our FAVE on the album), plus a few other acoustics.

Ever heard of this? I've been searching for years, and never even see a listing... Muchas Gracias!

She did a song with them on their last album called "Uncontrollable Love" and they remixed "Good Boys" from Curse. Both are fabulous. :thumbsup:

Cyndi has a voice that just commands attention. :shocked:

I don't believe so. :shrug: All I have is an import boxed set with She's So Unusual, True Colors, and Hat Full of Stars. I can ask around for you, though, I know some die-hard Cyndi fans who could probably tell you how many hairs are on her arms. :laugh:

Have you ever heard the album "Stormy Weather: The Music of Harold Arlen"? It's a CD with a bunch of different artists doing Arlen songs (Debbie does "Ill Wind" in which she duets with herself :laugh: ), and one of them is Rufus Wainwright. ;) You should check it out, each song is amazing.

[estranged4life]

besides the music picks I listed I am DEFINITELY going to purchase one of the newly released Dean "Razorback" guitar (The "Slime Bumblebee" gotta have the green sucker...Plus being a Dean Guitar owner I know it will sound killer as ****.) since the "Razorback" was the new model that Dimebag Darrell created before his passing (I have been waiting several months for the preview of the new Dime series Deans since the day it was announced Dimebag was back with Dean Z. at Dean Guitars) :

http://www.deanguitars.com/dimebag.php

Kinda a cool video tribute too on the Dean Guitar website (The tribute is played to the Damageplan track "Soul Bleed")

[Nixxxed]

Thanks! If you think about it next time you're talking/typing to them, I'd appreciate it.

Oh, and think you could reply faster next time? I had to wait a whole 10 minutes!!! I, for one, expect better service.

;) :xoxo:

I'll have to check out the Stormy Weather thing... thanks for the tip.

Rufus is another one of those prolific artists (who drives me completely insane). He demo'ed something like 60 songs for the Want albums, and only about 25 were released. Plus, he only has 4 full albums, but has like 20 soundtracks songs and at least as many guest appearances. I'll never catch up! :laugh:

You're welcome. :xoxo: My mom isn't a big fan of jazz (or Debbie), but she asked for a copy of that CD for Christmas. And now Debbie's "duet" is her favorite.

I've never gotten into Rufus, but after hearing him on that tribute CD, I'll probably get one of his albums. I like weird **** and he's weird, eh? :laugh:

But it all depends on whether or not I can bear to take Franz out of my stereo...;)

[hayley]

I've only heard it on the web, called "Sleeps With Butterflies". :thumbsup:

I sent my cousin, who's a huge Tori fan, a copy of the advance radio promo single of "Sleeps With Butterflies" and she totally flipped her wig. I heard the full advance yesterday, and I think it's really good, but I've never really gotten into Tori. I liked Little Earthquakes well enough, but the one I've liked best out of them all was Scarlet's Walk.

Make sure to pick up the limited edition package- I've seen it, and it's beautiful. Will be worth the extra $5 or so.

Ones I'm looking forward to in 2005:

New Pernice Brothers live CD/DVD
The Doves
Kathleen Edwards
Stereophonics
Fischerspooner
Lucinda Williams' oft-delayed Live at the Fillmore

and

NINE INCH NAILS- WITH TEETH!!

In DVDs, I'm really only looking forward to the Alias season 4 DVDs, Gilmore Girls season 3, Arrested Development season 2, and the first season of Lost. Also hoping, as I do every year now, to see Twin Peaks season 2, finally.

[dissention]

Start pinching your Lincoln's, Paramount's releasing it in October. :wavey:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I can't believe Desperate Housewives is coming out so soon (August). I'm hoping for many many outtakes.

[estranged4life]

Season 2 listed on http://bi-torrent.com (Dont know what the quality would be though.)

[Nixxxed]

:laugh: I've already pre-ordered it. It comes with a packet of wildflower seeds, so I can plant my own little Tori butterfly garden and dance around it naked in the moonlight!

Oops, I've said too much...

Whoever told you that, was on crack. :laugh:
There are no extra tracks on any of the import versions of 'Hat Full Of Stars'... the only variations for that CD, from country to country, are slight differences in the packaging. But none featured bonus tracks.

There were no special editions either.

By the way, 'Hat Full Of Stars' is my absolute favorite Cyndi album. Love every second of it, from start to finish. :xoxo:

But hang on my dear, dear, John....
Maybe you're not just like everyone... so what, so what...."

[Johnny Stew]

Oh, and as for which CD or DVDs I'm waiting on....
At the top of the list is 'Wonder Woman: The Complete Second Season (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006Z2KZ2/102-2983804-9982569),' which comes out March 1st. :D

I'm also anxiously awaiting the DVD release of 'The Phantom Of The Opera,' but I imagine that's still several months off, seeing as how the movie doesn't open nationwide until tomorrow.

Cheers Season 4 on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blob2: :blob1:

It was actually my Mom who told me -- way to call her a crack whore!!! ;)

No, I really don't remember where I heard it -- it was more than 10 years ago!!! But at least I can STOP looking now, 10 years later. :laugh:

That is, assuming YOU know what you're talking about, crack whore! :nod: :xoxo:

[wondergirl9847]

Sheebus, what do they want, blood?! :mad: Give us season 2 of TP already!! Also, all seasons of Wings, while you're at it. If you can put the frickin' Apprentice on DVD, why not WINGS!!?!!!?!?! :mad:

Also, I want Lindsey's solo album so bad, I'm ready to scream bloody murder!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Whew...deep breaths....

Keith Urban's live DVD should be out pretty soon. :thumbsup:

[estranged4life]

Keith Urban's live DVD should be out pretty soon. :thumbsup:

forgot about his upcoming DVD...

Just received the Chris Caffery "Faces/God Damn War" discs today and all I have to say is that it is the best album I have heard in a long while (Disc 2, "God Damn War" is depressing as hell since it sounds exactly what is happenin' in the world today.)
