New stuff out now:
BOB DYLAN
New remasters for the Basement Tapes, Before the Flood, New Morning, and Dylan & the Dead!!! Nice little setup for next month’s all new album…
Leonard Cohen – Live
2CD set or DVD of one of last year’s concerts…
PJ Harvey - A Woman A Man Walked By
New album with John Parish.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz
Brand new one, after a couple years off.
Gomez – A New Tide
If you’re looking for this, please ask for it, as it won’t be in the bins because of an oversize jacket…
Monks – The Early Years 1964-1965
Beautiful reissue from the Light In The Attic guys (Betty Davis, Serge Gainsbourg, Black Angels). Includes 32 page book in addition to the dozen cuts. (Also at the counter, since it, too, doesn’t fit in the bins…
Decemberists – Hazards of Love
CD and LP. This is out now, but it had a weird, stuttered release, so I left it off the last 2 emails…
Obits – I Blame You
Also out now, this is fantastic… All the guys are in other bands (most notably, Hot Snakes), I Blame You is kind of like The Stooges if they were a brit pop band… I’m playing this album every day…
Diana Krall – Quiet Nights
The latest…
Peter Bjorn & John – Living Thing
New record, the proper follow up to Writer’s Block (after an instrumental album and a solo or two)…
UGK – UGK 4 Life
Final album from the Underground Kingz, finished just after the death of leader/producer Pimp C. Surprisingly excellent. Not dregs or studio outtakes at all… Sounds great on my crappy little car stereo…
Marvellous Boy: Calypso from West Africa
Latest in the series (London is the Place for Me, etc) from the Honest Jon’s people, a collection of recordings from the 1950s.
Lynyrd Skynyrd – Authorized Bootleg
Muddy Waters – Authorized Bootleg
Major label digging into their tape vaults. They come up with an excellent 1966 Muddy Waters show, and two shows from Skynyrd (1975 & 1976)… Never before released…
Baby Huey – Living Legend
After an amazingly long time without (inexplicable distributor nonsense), this absolute classic
TUESDAY GOODIES:
Beastie Boys – Check Your Head
2CD or (?) LPs deluxe editions, continuing their catalog renovations…
Neil Young – Fork In The Road
Brand new one. And hey, that Archive box set is coming out June 2 (or that could be an April Fool’s… He’s a wily one, that Neil…)
Grateful Dead – To Terrapin: Hartford 77
New concert set, two discs from 1977. Needless to say, Craig’s excited…
Grateful Dead – Winterland 1973: complete
Usetabe only on dead.net, now available in stores… Amazing box set…
Hold Steady – A Positive Rage
CD and DVD…
Jadakiss – The Last Kiss
New album, long awaited, from the Lox member, now on RocAFella/ Def Jam…
Stephanie McKay – Tell It Like It Is
Love her… She put out an album several years back produced by the Portishead guys, which I still play to this day… Can’t wait to get my hands on this.
