This week is a little slow for new music, but I still found a couple of discs to pick up when I hit the record store after work Tuesday:
Black Eyes: Cough [cd]
Miss Kittin: I Com [cd]
Add one of the dvd's mentioned below (I'll pick one at the store), and you have my shopping list.
Other interesting releases this week include several Sony Dylan remasters, live Bjork, and several dvd's that will all eventually find their way into our film library:

I cobbled my list together after a long and busy holiday weekend, did I miss anything? Which dvd from my list would you choose (or avoid)?
Posted by david on May 31, 2004Other DVDs coming out:
1. Monster (ft. Charlize Theron's Oscar-winning performance)
2. The Dukes Of Hazzard: Season 1
3. The Chronicles Of Riddick: Pitch Black [The Unrated Director's Cut]
The last two are ones I wouldn't think about getting, but I am curious to see 'Monster'.
Posted by: Matt on May 31, 2004 10:33 PMdefinitely the Coupling Boxset! The series is hilarious and much better than Friends.
Posted by: sharon on May 31, 2004 11:08 PMditto on the coupling recommendation. that series has made me laugh as much as anything ever. supergreat.
Posted by: justin why on June 1, 2004 03:39 AMYou can skip Run Ronnie Run. While the Mr. Show idea was brilliantly hilarious, the movie version gets a little old after awhile. It's worth Netflix-ing, but I wouldn't go as far as purchasing.
Posted by: MDan on June 1, 2004 06:34 AMDoes anyone know what's different about the Dylan CD's than the ones released last year? Are they not SACD hybrids? Released in standard jewel cases?
Posted by: Brett on June 1, 2004 10:01 AMI would move the Waterboys bonus cd from "maybe" to "gotta have it." Love that band.
Posted by: John on June 1, 2004 11:46 AMI know it's probably too late as Tuesday has come and gone, but I would be remiss if I didn't second the don't purchase Run Ronnie Run suggestion. It's just not very good.
Bob and David themselves have both tried to put distance between themselves and it, saying that its tone is all messed up which could maybe have been fixed in editing but they were given no input into the editing of the film. You'd be much better off putting the money into Mr. Show Seasons 1 and 2. Or The Critic. Those are my two fave tv shows on DVD sets, yet.
Posted by: caley on June 2, 2004 02:21 AMI love to read novels on internet rather than to see film on DVD set.
