And so goes the roller coaster that is the new releases calendar. One week of lame, and then the next week is a power-punch to the face!

If you’re a fan of Tooth & Nail’s current generation of poppy semi-Christian rock, you might look into the new Classic Crime record, the Emery box set and a new band, Secret & Whisper.

And if you actually like good music, check out new ones from Dr. Dog, Concert Silence, Jakob Dylan (with everyone’s favorite redhead Neko Case), Jónsi from Sigur Ros, Kayo Dot (whoa, they’re still around?), Murder by Death, Red Sparowes, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and Darkthrone.

Hope you don’t spend too much money this week! Record Store Day is coming up, after all.

   I wanted to buy the new Red Sparowes, but Newbury Comics didn’t have it! Supposedly, they ordered it, but they didn’t get any copies in.

   Everyone should really check out Civil Twilight – I get a great sort of Coldplay-meets-Radiohead sort of vibe from those guys. Saw them last October and was totally blown away. http://www.myspace.com/civiltwilightband
