This Week's Releases
We have finally reached the weeks of huge release lists. This week boasts some big names and plenty of new bands ready to place themselves among some of your favorites. This week has a few EPs and a lot of full lengths, pretty much everything you could want.
My pick for this week is MGMT's Oracular Spectacular. I know many people are looking forward to Cat Power's CD full of covers, but after spending a long time with the MGMT release, I have to say that it is fantastic. Not sticking to one genre, this album features synth-pop, funk, dance and even a little folk.
Some other releases I have spent some time with and can recommend are the self-titled album from The Whitsundays and Black Mountain's In The Future. Both of these albums feature great rock songs from some very talented artists.

Niiiice. About half of these are from Atlanta/Athens. :)
You just completely ripped that list off of The Yellow Stereo's Daily Graboid, asswipe.

Do your own fucking work, you lazy-eyed bitch.
I do not write the release post. However, I can tell you that he meticulously goes through the list every week and compiles a list of releases that he thinks are worthwhile. I also give him a few that I think should be added. That said, of course there is going to be crossover between two sites that cover the same type of music and receive the same promo e-mails. In addition, there are only so many tracks to choose from and the e-mails both sites receive have the same samples, so there is going to be song overlap as well. That is just how it goes. Chris is not blatantly ripping someone else off and he wasn’t even aware of the other list. He puts plenty of his own time into doing this every week and the person that he really compiles these lists for is himself. It's how he discovers a lot of new music.
