I'm very excited for 2008 musically. Two of my favorite bands, Oasis (the first love) and Stellastarr* are in the studio. Oasis are in the process of mixing their 7th studio album in Los Angeles. Well, that was last week, anyway. I think they might still be at it. Dave Sardy, who worked with them on 2005's "Don't Believe The Truth" is back on board, so I'm very excited about that.
This came up in my stellastarr* Google Alert. Oh man, I am psyched. I think it would be safe to say that stellastarr* is my 3rd favorite band, although they do scuffle with Oasis for that 2nd spot. Which---they probably do occupy, but I haven't accepted that Oasis are falling further down...
Anyway. According to the article, stellastarr* are working on 14 songs, one named "Zombie Prom." Interesting. Warchild (which I haven't heard yet) is on there as well.
Ah, I'm just psyehed.
In other news...Jack Johnson is headlining Coachella on Friday night. O RLY? That's....weird! It'd be fun to go to, but quite frankly, I guess I'm a little surprised.

As far as what I'm listening to at the moment...Stars. I got their album "In Our Bedroom After The War." Brilliant. I've also got The New Pornographers' "Challengers" album. That title track is great.
