Shopping List
As the year goes by, my new release shopping list gets longer. Here's what interests me today:
Air - Talkie Walkie (Astralwerks)
The Cure - Join the Dots: B-sides and Rarities, 1978-2001 [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] (Elektra/Asylum)
Elbow - Cast of Thousands (V2)
Get Up Kids - S/T (Vagrant)
Al Green - Absolute Best (Capitol)
Green Day - 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours re-issue (Lookout)
Helmet - Helmet Unsung: The Very Best of Helmet (Interscope/UME)
Notwist - Different Cars and Trains (Domino)
Stereolab - Margerine Eclipse (Elektra/Asylum)
My must-have releases this week: Stereolab, the Cure, and Air. If you like Stereolab, then you will love Margerine Eclipse. I've been waiting a long time for the Cure B-sides collection, that will be worth the trip to the store in itself. Last but not least, Air's Talkie Walkie is the best non-Mountain Goats release I've heard all year, with the added DVD it's a bargain that won't disappoint.
