Once again, Tuesday is upon us. Well, tomorrow, that is. But we thought you might like a briefing as to what excellent new discs will be on our shelves. Here goes...

Prince - 3121
The mysterious artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince who is now known as Prince again releases his best record in several years. We've been listening to this one in the store, and have to say that we were surprised how good it is. Special bonus: There are seven purple tickets randomly spread out across the intial pressing of this album. Anyone who finds one wins a trip to Prince's house for a special performance. Good luck, everyone.

Loose Fur - Born Again in the USA
Many of you have asked about this, the side project of Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. Well, ask no more! You can pick up the band's sophomore release here tomorrow. We haven't heard any songs yet, but we're eagerly awaiting this release nonetheless.

Ben Harper - Both Sides of the Gun
The sticker on the case of Ben Harper's latest says, "an album in two parts." Which is to say his new release is a double album of sorts. Luckily enough for all of you, it's still reasonably priced. Both Sides of the Gun also comes in a deluxe version for anyone willing to spend the extra dough.

Liars - Drum's Not Dead
For their third album, these avant garde Brooklynites moved to Berlin and created a bizarre, drum-laden ode to the creative process. Say what you want about the weirdness of this band, but they're not content to repeat themselves like so many modern day acts.

David Byrne and Brian Eno - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (re-issue)
At long last, this legendary and genre-defying record crafted by two of pop music's finest geniuses finds re-release (with several bonus tracks, no less). Everyone should hear this album.

Howe Gelb - Sno Angel Like You
For his latest, the man who wowed those who were paying attention at the Paste Rock 'n' Reel festival last fall recruited a gospel choir out of Canada. The result is a triumphant album, one we've been playing every day here in the store. Ask us...we'll play it for you.

Bands of Horses - Everything All the Time
Fans of My Morning Jacket, R.E.M. and Built to Spill, listen up: You may have a new favorite band. Their debut on Sub Pop is already hauling in truckloads of praise, so don't be the last on your block to check out these Seattle rockers.

Mclusky - McluskyismDon't it always seem to go... Indeed, this smart-ass, Welsh trio broke up last year, and as such, we're left with this retrospective which comes in both a one-disc (A-sides) and three-disc (A-sides, B-sides and C-sides) versions. Be warned, though: These dudes play heavy, hilarious and excellent music along the lines of Nirvana, The Jesus Lizard and Pixies. So if you're not ready for it, it might knock you over.

Mates of State - Bring it BackHow does this all-too-adorable indie couple keep up the steam on its latest album? More of the same, it seems. And yet, many are calling Bring it Back the band's latest. We'll let you be the judge.

Phew. Because The Security Chicken's wings grow tired, here's a catch-all (or, at least, most) list of some other new stuff coming out tomorrow. We'll have albums from each of the following: Sondre Lerche, Elvis Costello, Southern Culture on the Skids, Gary Numan, Madlib, My Chemical Romance, Animal Collective, Television Personalities, The Essex Green and The Sounds, to name but a few...
