New. Release. Thursday?

Phew. My, how the week will slip by you. Austin's been out of town doing out of town slacker things (in Minnesota of all places!), and without him, this lowly Chicken cannot even remember what the new releases are each week. But he's back and guiding me through this post as I peck away, so all is once again well in the DCD Kingdom. Good thing, too, because...

...oh, what a week it's been for new releases! We've got old guys at the top of their game (see above), bands that are back after a few years off (The Breeders), bands that were going a few years ago and are still going today (Nine Inch Nails), young/hairy groups getting better by the album (Man Man), new dudes from hip bands gone solo (Peter Morén), brand new buzz bands making some noise in the press (Foals), other dudes from hip bands gone solo (Colin Meloy), the list just goes on and on. In fact, it goes all the way on right after this sentence:
