This Week's Interesting Music Releases - August 31, 2010
I may not have any children, but I do babysit occasionally and have become quite fond of Yo Gabba Gabba (especially its musical guests). Yo Gabba Gabba: Music Is Awesome Volume 2 collects kid-oriented new music from Weezer, Apples in Stereo, MGMT and many others.
Richard Thompson has a live album out this week, Dream Attic
Radiohead drummer Philip Selway's solo album Familial is also on store shelves tomorrow, as is My Morning Jacket member Carl Broemel's All Birds.
Jenny and Johnny's I'm Having Fun Now, the collaboration between Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis (Jenny) and singer-songwriter Johnathan Rice (Johnny) is the highlight of the rest of a slim music release week, with The Clientele's Minotaur and The Weepies' Be My Thrill the only other albums I have heard and can strongly recommend.
A remastered edition of Miles Davis's Bitches Brew contains a CD of bonus material as well as a DVD of live footage.
The National's self-titled debut album is finally available on vinyl.
What new releases are you picking up this week? Have I left anything noteworthy off the list?
