I know it’s been a while — both for me and for the new releases — but things will be picking up now that I’m able to sleep more than three hours at a time and I’m not working two full-time jobs. Speaking of which, my new job entails hosting After Dark on WFPK here in Louisville. So tune in if you want to be lulled to sleep Monday through Thursday between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m.

Plus Seth is posting again. So it’s just like the old days, except I have less hair on my head. And more on my back.

With all that blah blah blah out of the way, I’m not particularly intrigued by this week’s offerings. In fact, two releases at the top of my list aren’t even music. They’re comedy albums from Michael Ian Black and Marc Maron.

As far as bands and such, you might want to consider new stuff from Army Navy, Sleeping Bag and Anni Rossi. The two-part Against Me! reissue seems interesting as well, but I don’t know if all the extra goodies are worth it.

Also, I’m assuming the Gaither Vocal Band and Tom Wopat records are bangin’ pretty hard.

:: Against Me! – White Crosses

:: Anni Rossi – Heavy Meadow

:: Army Navy – The Last Place

:: The Birthday Massacre – Imaginary Monsters

:: Brad Mehldau – Largo

:: DOM – Family of Love EP

:: Eyes Set to Kill – White Lotus

:: Fleshgod Apocalypse – Agony

:: The Horrors – Skying

:: Iggy Pop – I Used to Be a Stooge But Now I’m a Real Wild Child

:: The Irrepressibles – Mirror Mirror

:: Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch the Throne

:: Kites With Lights – Cosmonauts

:: Leon Russell – Live in Japan

:: Marc Maron – This Has to Be Funny

:: Michael Ian Black – Very Famous

:: The Motels – Apocalypso

:: Neil Young – Live On Air/The Lost Tapes

:: Paul Motian – The Windmills of Your Mind

:: Peelander-Z – Super Dx Hits

:: Pepper Rabbit – Red Velvet Snowball

:: Pursesnatchers – A Pattern Language

:: The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band – Peyton on Patton

:: Scattered Trees – Sympathy

:: Sleeping Bag – Sleeping Bag

:: Tom McBride – A Brief Head Spin

:: Trivium – In Waves

:: Ursula 1000 – Mondo Beyondo

:: Widowspeak – Widowspeak

We forgot the most anticipated release of the week and missed all the good stuff, right? Tell us about it in the comments.

   I just watched the Michael Ian Black standup from Comedy Central on DVR. There is some pretty funny stuff in there, but the jokes/stories are a little drawn out.
