After two long weeks, the Daily Graboid is back and ready to deliver the best of this week’s new releases! It’s not often that I miss a week (or two) of updating the Graboid, but I hope that everyone forgives me. An excellent group of releases this week as the two albums heading the frontlines are Spoon’s Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and Interpol’s Our Love To Admire. I highly recommend Spoon’s new one as it will definitely be one of my favorite albums of the year. I’ve yet to listen to anything more off Interpol’s latest besides “The Heinrich Maneuver” just for the simple fact that I’m just not excited about listening to it. Maybe that will change sometime down the road, but i’m not in any kind of rush to listen to it at the moment.
Is that it? Not at all my dear friends, as there are plenty of awesome albums that are worth plunking down your hard earned cash for. A few that I definitely recommend are St. Vincent’s Marry Me, who I was supposed to see tonight in Atlanta, but I sadly will not make it considering I almost got fired this week from work. If some of you are still craving more Justice, their debut † is also out for more of that good ol’ D.A.N.C.E goodness. Rounding out a few others that i’m listening to are the U.S. release of Fionn Regan’s The End of History and Gogol Bordello’s Super Taranta.
Anything else worth picking up this week? Don’t forget the previous post from Pablo about the new Stars album being released digitally this week on itunes!

One of the best release weeks in recent memory. The Spoon, St. Vincent, and Justice albums are solid gold, and the new Interpol is pretty good too, but nothing revolutionary.
The new Interpol is quietly confident. Not what I expected but pleasantly surprised.
New Spoon is wonderful, can’t stop playing it. They have definitely produced the goods again.
I like a few tracks on the new Spoon- but many of the tunes sound a bit like that band Cake. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…….Or is there?
it was a damn good week in music. i can’t stop playing the new spoon record. definitely up to par or better than the previous.
Cake? Because of the horns maybe? I don’t hear it…
