STREAM: the new Underworld @ AOL
This week's rather lean CD release list has a distinctive Athens, Georgia flavor (at least for the two discs that interest me most). R.E.M. releases their long-awaited live album (complete with concert DVD), R.E.M. Live, and a remastered edition of Pylon's Gyrate arrives with several bonus tracks. Other albums I can strongly recommend include Southeast Engine's Misra debut, A Wheel Within a Wheel, the Capstan Shafts' Environ Maiden and singer-songwriter Karen Dalton's live two-disc collection, Cotton Eyed Joe.
Home for Christmas: Voices from the Heartland is the only holiday music disc I am picking up, with soulful Christmas music from artists ranging from Leon Redbone to Irma Thomas.
Have I left anything noteworthy off the list? What new music releases can you recommend this week? What should I avoid? What are you picking up?

Caught Southeast Engine at the DAM! Fest in DC last week. Had never heard of them before, but they were really good. Will definitely be picking up the disc.

It's all about The Capstan Shafts these days. Everyone else is playing for second place.

Steve @ 8:29pm, is correct, Southeast Engine is very good!
I caught them last Friday in LIC, playing for about 8 of us. They're playing CMJ at the Absolutely Kosher showcase at Arlene's on Thursday. Rem said they go on at 8pm.
I think I'm gonna go.
