Album releases are slowing down dramatically with the end of the year approaching. This week I'll be picking up several cd singles, most notably Joanna Newsom's The Sprout & the Bean. The domestic US release of Bonnie Prince Billy's No More Workhouse Blues will join import singles by the Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Devandra Banhart and the Delays in my shopping bag tomorrow. Hood's Lost You ep is also on my list. What am I missing?

The Jandek documentary, Jandek on Corwood, is finally officially released on dvd this week. This is a must-have addition to my growing dvd collection.
