No surprise that it’s another small release week. Mostly unknown or undesirable releases, with a few gems, namely the stateside release of the Justice DVD that I want, a Thrice live DVD and a Cat Power EP.

There’s also a debut from a new Asthmatic Kitty band called The Welcome Wagon that our old pal Jon Shell tipped me off about. They sound a lot like Sufjan Stevens, so if you swing that way, check them out.

   Guns Up! has a DVD, and Genghis Tron has a remix CD that made me vomit when I heard it.

   I thought the original Board Up The House was ok, but not near good enough to justify a remix cd.
