From the Professor's Page: Casting our eyes forwards

Hello guys and girls of the wider Eclectik Electrik community. 

It's been a wee while since I've posted any reviews or articles, but fear not, more of that good stuff is on the way! In the meanwhile though here is an updated list of albums we are expecting (and anticipating) over the coming months. As you have come to expect this is an eccentric collection of albums to satisfy many tastes. Of course there are going to be plenty more than this but it seems like a good opportunity to whet our collective appetites. Here's some additional info on some of those you might not recognize:

  • Got A Girl is the new project from producer Dan the Automator (Deltron, Gorillaz, Kasabian). For this album he has teamed up with actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Death Proof, Die Hard).
  • Tweedy is a new collaboration between Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) and his eighteen-year old son, Spencer.
  • The Flaming Lips Present With a Little Help From My Fwends is a full-album cover of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. So far the band have announced contributions on the album by Moby and Miley Cyrus. This will be predictably odd.

So what do you think, true believers? Can you find something here to get excited about? I'm counting on it!
