Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week
Portishead releases its highly anticipated third album today, appropriately titled Third, but (editor's note: "but"???????) I am most excited about the new Bearsuit album, Oh:lo (the band's Cat Spectacular! album is one of my favorite albums of all time).
Among the week's other music releases, I can strongly recommend Constantines' Kensington Heights, David Karsten Daniels' Fear of Flying, Hayden's In Field & Town, Santogold's self-titled album, and Nat Baldwin's Most Valuable Player. Robert Forster's The Evangelist deserves a special mention, being the Go-Betweens member's fifth solo effort (and the first since the death of Go-Betweens partner Grant McLellan).
Among the week's reissues, the remastered edition of Steve Earle's Copperhead Road has me the most excited, with an entire disc of bonus material. Another notable reissue is the Black Keys' The Big Come Up album, available on both pink and yellow vinyl.
What are you picking up this week? Are there any releases worth adding to the list?

i think it would be cool if large boy listed the soundscan figures of the previous week's recommended releases to see how horrible they sell.

The new Langhorne Slim album's out today. I haven't loved the new stuff live, but still look forward to picking it up and helping out the hometown folks.

Largehearted can save his recommendations, and just print out Amazon's release list. It would save everyone (and him) embarrassment & time.

I don't think the new Langhorne is quite as good as his old stuff. A little overproduced, maybe. It's not bad, though, and I'm hoping it will grow on me.
Black Keys reissue and Boris will be purchased later today.
