New Tunes on Tuesday - Bauhaus Returns (and goes away)
Posted on 03.04.08 by Jason Thompson @ 8:00 am

Welcome back for our second installment of New Tunes on Tuesday. There are quite a few big releases coming out today, so let’s get straight to it, shall we?

Kicking things off we have Bauhaus’ new and final album Go Away White. Yours truly wrote up his thoughts on the disc last week on Bullz-Eye. And while there are some glimmers of the old days intact, for the most part this affair is more miss than hit.

Only if you’ve been under the proverbial rock could you not have heard about the big stink caused when “Maxim” published a review from The Black Crowes’ Warpaint without the critic who wrote it having heard the entire album beforehand. At any rate, this album is now out to discover. For the official lowdown, head to the band’s official webpage.

Black 47’s Iraq is hitting the racks today. Our own Jim Washington gives the album a solid 3 out of 5 stars, noting that “The band’s populist bent shines through on Iraq, which gains some momentum as it goes along. It helps to know that many of the songs are based on experiences of the band’s fans serving in the military overseas. ”

Carlene Carter is back this week with Stronger. Fans can get a listen to the album over at Carlene’s official MySpace page.

Flogging Molly also returns, this time with the album Float. Lead singer Dave King notes that, “Our last album was quite a meandering piece of songs.” This time around, the band cranked out 11 tracks and got the job done efficiently. Check it on Flogging Molly’s MySpace.

For you Elvis Costello fans out there, Universal is releasing a two-disc “Deluxe Edition” of E.C.’s second album This Year’s Model, following in the footsteps of the simiarly deluxed-up My Aim Is True from last year. Seriously, how many more times is Costello’s catalogue going to be resold? Read all the gory details here.

In slightly far more interesting reissue news, Michael Nesmith’s The Wichita Train Whistle Sings and Timerider are being packaged together and reissued this week. Amazon has an order page for it, but be wary: as any Beatle fan knows something like this is usually a quickie ripoff by a company looking to make a quick buck.

Wrapping things up, we also have Michael McDonald (Soul Speak), Alan Jackson (Good Time), and the BoDeans (Still).
