These month-ahead-gazing threads are always fascinating, so let's do April...

Releases
I'm loving the new LOW album right now, and can't wait to grab a finished copy of that. Also 'digging' The Kills slightly more adroit LP (bit more brash too!), the Cure-ish crunch of the Cold Cave album and the swirl of Jeniferever's third album. Haven't heard the newies from TV on the Radio, Panda Bear or the Katy B albums yet but looking forward to giving them a listen.

Gigs
Not a helluva lot in my diary just yet, apart from TRAIL OF DEAD on Friday 15th. Might see if I can see No Age at the ICA on Sunday (also hear Erykah Badu is playing at East Village?! and The Field is at the Southbank), and probably gonna goto Austra at Corisica, Jeniferever at the Lexington (11th) the Oneohtrix and Pantha du Prince shows at the Southbank next weekend. And right at the end of the month is Live at Leeds, sadly only there for the Saturday but the line-up is bloody great!

What you looking forward to? What you gonna do for Record Store Day?
