Apparently The Raconteurs are releasing their second album on the 25th of this month. How the heck did this slip by? That's talent, folks...and maybe a few threats to keep the information on the d.l. In any case, the title is Consoler of the Lonely and it will contain fourteen tracks. The band told Rolling Stone "we wanted to get this record to fans, the press, radio, etc., all at the EXACT SAME TIME so that no one has an upper hand on anyone else regarding its availability, reception, or perception." It's an interesting idea...what if people had to make up their minds about an album or single before any of the music critics could get their reviews out? I think that there would be less music snobbery and more pure appreciation for whatever genuinely is appealing to a particular person. Maybe this way of doing things is worth a shot...The Musically Inclined certainly doesn't get any advance copies!
