Tomorrow's Shopping Bag (This Week's Interesting CD & DVD Releases)

My must-have music shopping list this week contains only two discs. Every Deerhoof release is much anticipated by me, and The Runners Four is no exception, this will probably make my "best of" list at the end of the year. The MF Doom and DJ Dangermouse project, The Mouse And The Mask, hasn't done much for me yet, maybe having the disc in hand will help change that. I keep thinking I should love this album, being a big fan of both the principles, but the advance just hasn't grabbed me (yet).

I have already picked up and can recommend these discs:

Celebration: Celebration [cd]
The Clientele: Strange Geometry [cd]
dios (malos): dios (malos) [cd]
Great Lake Swimmers: Bodies and Minds [cd]

DVD releases are relatively slim this week. I'll look for a sale copy of the second season of Arrested Development, I'll pick that up. I am tempted by South Park's sixth season, but may wait for a deep discount.

What are you buying this week? Any recommendations or warnings?
