Vox Hunt: Music - Hurry Up Already!
Show us an artist who you wish would hurry up and put out a new album.
Gavin Friday. For God's sake, Gavin Friday. His last (excellent) songwriter album, Shag Tobacco, was released in 1995. That's a Kate Bush release schedule! He's been active -- doing some film work (soundtracks and acting) and a lot of one-off performances in Ireland and Europe -- but for someone stranded here in the States who only gets the chance to enjoy him on record, the wait is becoming kind of painful. The good news is, his voice seems to have undergone a kind of renaissance in the last couple of years; the bits and pieces I've heard of his recent performances have sounded better than ever. So there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Also, it's only been a couple of years since Around The Sun, but the more I hear about the new R.E.M. album the more I want it now now now. Does that count?
