That's odd, comes up fine for me and at work of all places (big bank, tons of security on our PCs)
I'm sure there are alternatives out there. Whoever maintained the 2012 New Releases Thread on the old board would get tons of kuddos from this dude for starting that back up again. That's actually where I used to get all of my new releases news.

the new Apparat is much more ambient/neoclassical than you'd expect from him, pretty good too

The only 2013 album I have thus far is Ben Harper with Charlie Musselwhite - Get Up!, which was a big winner. I only listen to 10-15 new albums a year though.
With their third full length release, Low frontman Alan Sparhawk’s rock ‘n roll side project takes you deeper into the band’s psyche than ever, extracting the quintessence of the live experience and laying it down succinctly in a two-song, one-take, full band, blitz
1) Can’t Walk Out is the crown jewel of RGC’s recent live sets. The inexplicable power of this repetitive, building, unhinged freakout could only be experienced at an actual RGC show, until now.
2) Seven sees the more sprawling side of the band. Haunting, epic, and enhanced throughout by guest guitarist Nels Cline, Seven doesn’t hesitate or relent in its delivery of true extemporaneous brilliance.
Take a listen to “Seven”.

Where do you guys keep up with album release schedules? I know it's easy to find schedules are somewhat larger albums, but what about a definitive list of everything, so you can find smaller bands from smaller labels that might get overlooked by a lot of lists?

I don't think such a thing exists if we're talking really small labels.

well, i'm not talking about labels that celebrate when they push 500 copies of an album. but some lists I see leave off somewhat larger independent labels on a consistent basis. and going to every label site, or blog, or whatever gets tiresome.

It's not perfect and it only looks forward one month but it seems to be one of the most comprehensive. Otherwise the best is just to find a way to have the label news come to you instead of the other way around (ie. subscribe to RSS feeds etc.)
re: albums of 2013, really liking the new Benoit Pioulard on Kranky, nice mixture of ambient and hazy pop/folk songs
not feeling the new Olafur Arnalds that much, it's a bit too nice and polished
and of course the new Barn Owl is great

I didn't expect to say so because I didn't get the hype for Open Your Heart but the new album from The Men is pretty enjoyable. I wasn't even going to check it out at first but I read comments about it being different than the previous ones (to the point that it's pretty divisive). When I saw it was deemed too sloppy and even described as "Ragged Glory rehearsals" my interest was piqued. After listening to it I can definitely say these terms were not misleading.
