So I was stumbling around the web for a bit, and found the following chart of expected releases (as well as adding some) from Metacritic. Check it out. If you have any others, or have any comments (about stuff you are looking forward to, etc etc) feel free to post it up.

This is only the first half of the list, the second half has been put up under 2009 Anticipated Album Releases, so if you have new albums you know of, but no date, you can post them up there.

As if flying to Germany for 24 hours to see Shitdisco live wasn't bad enough, I'm now making plans to fly to Portugal for one of their DJ sets, along with SebastiAn. My friend Tom is coming with me again, just like MSTRKRFT DJing after Shitdisco's gig swayed him the first time round, SebastiAn is the reason he's agreed to come with me to Portugal.

I still haven't figured out how I'm going to fly from Denmark to Portugal, but I think I'm going to fly PikeyAir to London and then from London, fly PikeyAir to Porto. Effort, but well worth it. I love Shitdisco and I love their DJ sets and I WELL FANCY A GOOD DANCE.
