New release Tuesday! (2/27/07)

Afraid to say it, but it's decidely slim pickin's tomorrow when it comes to tasty new goodies from musical artists. That said, here are some folks that will have new CDs on the shelves of Decatur CD:

King Sunny Ade
Beck (reissue with bonus tracks)
David Bromberg
Rosemary Clooney (live)
Dean & Britta
Dr. Dog (Not just yet, but hopefully on the way soon! This means you technically still have to time to pre-order and save $2!)
Bob Dylan (expanded DVD reissue)
Nine Inch Nails (live DVD)
Percy Sledge (reissue)
Matt Wertz
Grant Willard

Some decent stuff to be had, but we're actually very excited about next Tuesday, which will bring us fresh tunes from Wynton Marsalis, Albert Hammond Jr., Son Volt, RJD2, Bright Eyes, Ry Cooder, !!!, Air, Antibalas, Big Business, The Greencards and Arcade Fire, to name but a few. Onward and upward, we say!

Speaking of Arcade Fire, did anyone else catch that spirited performance on SNL over the weekend? If not, thanks to this hyper-digital age we live in, you can watch it on YouTube, despite the fact that the clueless suits over at NBC keep trying to tear down the links. Check out the better of the two songs here, via a Paste magazine news story. The band's new album is great; we can hardly stop playing it in the store.

See you tomorrow, folks...
