deceptive day of release

howdy pop pickers


well, heck. i thought i was well and truly on top of these things, look you see, but alas not.

my understanding was that the very latest record off of Suede, The Blue Hour was all scheduled, or pencilled in, for a release date of Friday September 28. 2018, AD, if you must. imagine my horror and surprise to learn that, as point of fact, it was changed without my knowing to Friday 21 (rest of date info same).

this somewhat knacked, to be sure, any efforts or plans i had in place or aspired to with respect to a day of release or day after day of release purchase. hey ho.



no matter, i have since been to HMV, and procured it. perhaps i should switch my ambitions to week of release these days, then, since i do seem to be quite busy and am apparently prone to musicians deciding on different days to release stuff.

so far i have only listened to the first 3 or 4, maybe 5 tunes. a proper review shall follow, but for now this is Suede. very Suede. uber Suede. it might be the most Suede record ever to exist, and this is a very good thing. i am loving this album and i suggest you go get a copy, now.

a proper review, or set of musings, to follow as soon as i can, then. for those of you interested. but, for now, as of track seven, this is my album of the year. closest challenger would have been James, if only they had not polluted their recordings with unnecessary references to domestic American matters.



be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
