Jon Auer's Songs From The Year Of Our Demise might be my most anticipated album of 2006 by virtue of having anticipated it for around 5 years now, while Auer continually promised about it and kept pushing it back to work on albums with The Posies and Big Star and, uh, William Shatner. But I can just about stop holding my breath, because Pattern 25's website has a May release date, cover art, and two mp3's from it. The two songs are kind of initially underwhelming and show Auer maybe headed in the same direction of gooey keyboard ballads as his bandmate Ken Stringfellow's solo albums, but I'm still pretty excited to hear the whole thing soon.
