Interesting release week. Nothing crazy huge, unless you count the new Oasis album. I don’t. They’re good and all, but this whole reunion thing is getting a little old.
Plenty of stuff that’ll probably be worth checking out, though. Annuals, Antony and the Johnsons, Grails, Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s, Devin the Dude, The Streets, Deerhoof, These Arms Are Snakes… Lots of stuff I should be more familiar with than I am.

It’s a pretty drab week for releases. I think I’ll be checking out the new Rise Against, but that’s about it.
Yeah, noooooothing looks good to me this week.
And LOL @ that awful Marnie Stern album title.
Wow, how did I forget Rise Against? I swear I put it on the list.
Nothing. Not a single thing.
Nothing. Not a single thing.
Why did it post that twice? Is there an echo in here?
Ummmm, Hey Ding-a-ling, Oasis are not reuniting, and they’re new album is fantastic!!
I’m excited about that Bob Dylan and Antony and the Johnsons for sure, but there all also like 10 other albums that I am very interested in hearing a good bit of before I commit to buying it. I especially wanna hear the new Grails, F*cked Up, and TAAS.
I stand corrected! I’m not way into Oasis, so I get them mixed up with all the other mid-90’s bands that break up for 5 years and then come back out. I guess they’ve just been kind of in the background for a while until recently.
The Her Space Holiday thing is just in time in my book. After the disappointment of the latest Beck album I could use some blindly optimistic twee folk to brighten my outlook on the world.
I don’t know about you folks, but that new Mt Eerie record is blastin in my cans.
