A pretty big release week. No idea why. Metallica is putting their new one out… on Friday. Whatever floats their boat. And the posthumous release from Mitch Hedburg will be awesome.
I’ll definitely be checking out stuff from Calexico, Fujiya and Miyagi, Woven Hand, Mogwai and Jesu too. And probably the Brian Welch album for a good laugh.

Did I miss anything? Leave a comment and let me know.
I just downloaded the Mitch Hedberg album. It’s going to be a good drive home from work today.
Also I’ll give United Nations & Damien Jurado a spin. Maybe Brian Welch if I feel saucy.
LL Cool J FTW!
metallica, ll cool j, and gym class heroes FTW
