Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

oops, I forgot to post this monday!…

The power of negative thinkingThe Jesus and Mary Chain 4-CD box set of b-sides and rarities, The Power of Negative Thinking, is my favorite new release this week.

From the releases I have already heard, I can also recommend Ani DiFranco’s Red Letter Year, Dungen’s 4, Gemma Hayes’ Hollow of Morning, Madlib’s WLIB AM: King of the Wigflip, and the Vivan Girls’ self-titled album

Aside from the Jesus and Mary Chain release, box sets are plentiful this week, including Nina Simone’s To Be Free, Philip Glass’s Glass Box: A Nonesuch Retrospective, and the Miles Davis 50th Anniversary Kind of Blue (2-CDS&DVD&LP) (reissue with bonus tracks).

Holiday albums are becoming more plentiful every week, this week’s assortment includes Christmas releases by the Archies, Faith Hill, Melissa Etheridge, and the Flecktones’ Jingle All the Way.

The most interesting reissue this week is the remastered U2 live album, Under a Blood Red Sky.
