Things I will be spending money on soon, even if I don't have any:
The one I'm looking forward to most is only two weeks away; just looking at that cover makes my heart fill up with love. I'm pretty sure it will occupy spots one through nine on my list of the best albums of the year; everything else that's good can share the last slot. Matthew Barney is a lucky, lucky man. And if you joined me in frustration over the criminal truncation of Ms. Guomundsdottir's performance at that grand Olympic opening ceremony, at least you can hear the song she sang here, along with the official music video.
I don't know when Mr. Cave's album will come out in the US (September 7th is the date in the UK), but you can listen to a few terrifically rousing arrangements at his official site. It's a double disc set, so I hope that means there's room for a few raw blues-fueled musical rampages, or something of that nature, to compliment all the lovely balladry.

Bjork's boundless creativity blows my mind. I can't wait for her new album.
