There was a whole crapload of Christmas releases that I took the liberty of deleting. If you really care about those, you can look them up yourself.

I’m always ready for a new Ben Folds release. Anberlin has released the same album four times now. The Nightwatchman (a.k.a. Rage Against the Machine‘s Tom Morello) has a new album that’s sure to be protest-a-licious. And I’m admittedly a fan of Joshua Radin‘s Zach Braff-core. Other than that, maybe I’ll check out the new T.I. and Bleeding Through albums for kicks. Nothing else looks very interesting.

   how is this website still going? you guys try so hard to be like buddyhead (RIP) but fail so bad, i (and the rest of the world) forgot about this webstie as soon as i found it. your layout sucks it always has, and the crazy thing is you have never changed it. hire a bloody graphic designer, im on a major label now so if you need me to loan you some money, let me know. i may have done the same album 4 times, but at least someone out there enjoys what i do… you just suck all the time.
