New Verve Album Details

If I'm not careful, this summer [into early fall] may turn out to be one of the best ever in terms of new albums by my favorite artists/groups. We've already had new Portishead and Beck...I'm counting down to new Oasis and Ben Folds. And now we have details of the new Verve album.

As you can see the album is called "Forth" and will hit our shores August 26th. There are a bunch of different ways to the buy the album and some have bonus tracks available as well as downloads right away. Check out all the info at The Verve's store.

Here are a couple of older Verve tracks:

The Verve -- Star Sail
From the A Storm in Heaven album.

The Verve -- 6 O'Clock
From the No Come Down album.

Lucky #13

Since Hype Machine became the "new and improved Hype Machine" that it is today, I have been having trouble tracking my posts popularity...posts would appear on the "Popular" charts for a few minutes, then I would hit refresh and it would be gone all together...I had been enjoying seeing my blog on the charts mainly on the weekends as that's when I have time to post...but low and behold today we're back at lucky #13...It is still surprising to me that people read this blog...thanks!

13th Floor Elevators -- You're Gonna Miss Me

Kevin Drew -- Lucky Ones

The Verve -- Lucky Man

The Verve are back again and touring but there is nothing new for you to buy yet...until then any of these Verve albums will fit the bill. Kevin Drew, leader of the Broken Social Scene, and his first solo album can be found here. Over the past few years, the 13th Floor Elevators' albums have been reissued and remastered, check them out here.

All I Want For Christmas Are Tickets To See The Verve
