Since there is absolutely nothing going on in the tech world today (really, we checked the internet), we figured some off-topic lightness might be a good idea for this Saturday night (it's night already in The Netherlands). The question we pose to you today has absolutely nothing to do with operating systems, computers, or technology: what albums are you most looking forward to in the coming one, two years? I blogged about my five most-awaited albums for 2008/2009, and this is my list (all albums are yet to be named): Fiona Apple's 4th album (I kind of really like Fiona Apple), the 7th studio album by The Cardigans, Garbage's successor to "Bleed Like Me", A Camp's coming second album, and Garbage front-woman Shirley Manson's first solo album. Post your favourites in the comments!

I have quite a few CD's from "Midnight Oil" - it's been often remarked that they have such vastly superior tunesmithing skills - "Blue Sky Mining" is my favorite. However the political agenda feeding their lyrics-machine has been less inspired - one might wish that tunesmithing skill led to political brilliance. In ancient times I think it was in Nock's "Mr Jefferson" that I read of Jefferson's characterization of Thomas Paine as 'mere spellbinding', a great orator but when you search for the underlying message the spell evaporates. Likewise endOfSuburbia.com sports a really great backtrack on how the USA 'invested all of its postwar wealth in a living arrangment that has No Future'. What's missing is 'a way forward'. Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle founded the concept of (( "Crazy Eddie" CYCLE )) - this Google query today leads to a nice essay at everything2. So if Midnight Oil did a brainstorming session with Niven and Pournelle while channeling the Ghost of Garrett Hardin, something like that might spark an album I'd be interesed in !
