Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week
DOWNLOAD: Deerhoof – Offend Maggie (MP3)
I have been streaming tracks for the last week from Bob Dylan’s latest album in his “bootleg” series, Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8, and am looking forward to picking up a copy of the 2-disc release tomorrow. I only wish I could afford the $100+ deluxe edition, which comes with a bonus CD, along with a 150 page book with artwork of every 7″ Dylan has ever released.
With Christmas (and the end of the year) approaching, the release weeks get deeper and deeper. The new Antony and the Johnsons EP, Another World, is a wonderful teaser for the band’s new album. Other new music releases I can recommend include Castanets’ City of Refuge, Deerhoof’s Offend Maggie, Ezra Furman and the Harpoons’ Inside The Human Body, Her Space Holiday’s XOXO, Panda and The New Kid Revival, Jolie Holland’s The Living and the Dead, Juana Molina’s Un Dia, Kate Gaffney’s The Coachman, Lambchop’s OH (ohio), Land of Talk’s Some Are Lakes, Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s Not Animal, Marnie Stern’s This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That, Oasis’ Dig Out Your Soul, Rachael Yamagata’s Teeth Sinking Into Heart, and The Streets’ Everything Is Borrowed. What a wonderful week to be an indie music fan…
As unique a Christmas album as will be released this year is Julian Koster’s Singing Saw at Christmastime (and yes, the Music Tapes’ founder does play a singing saw on the album). More traditional holiday albums this week come from George Strait, Mannheim Steamroller, and the rockabilly renditions of the Brian Setzer Orchestra’s The Ultimate Christmas Collection.
Four Black Sabbath remastered albums head up the reissue list this week: Dehumanizer, Heaven & Hell, Live Evil, Mob Rules (all available on vinyl as well as CD).
Two Brian Eno/Robert Fripp collaborations are reissued this week, Evening Star, No Pussyfooting, along with MF Doom’s MF Doom: Operation Doomsday.
What new releases have you excited? (Editor’s note: Department of Eagles)….
