It looks like the Tuesday release schedule is slowly shifting back into gear for 2011, and with that in mind, I thought I’d resurrect an old idea of running down a few highlights of the week’s release schedule. This isn’t everything, but just a handful of the better and more interesting items.
- Braids – Native Speaker (Kanine)
- Decemberists – The King Is Dead (Capitol)
- Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers – Teenage and Torture (Knitting Factory)
- Social Distortion – Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes (Epitaph)
- Spokes – Everyone I Ever Met (Counter)
- White Lies – Ritual (Fiction)
- Various Artists – Fool’s Gold, Vol. 1 (Fool’s Gold)
