The Goods: New Release Tuesday
by Lesley Barger | 00.00.0000

We are all blessed with a string of new releases every week. (Well, as the holidays harshly taught us, not every week. But it is only every once in a while that we have a good week. Nay, great. This, my friends, is one of those weeks. Air? Califone? Elbow? Starsailor? Stereolab? Damn, this week is WAY better than that time you found that whole pizza in the street (abandoned by the car rooftop of some unfortunate pizza delivery boy).It’s better than the time the grocery store clerk forgot to charge you for that second chicken breast (suckers!). And I’d even go so far as saying it beats that time you passed for under 16 and qualified for the youth discount at LaserWarz. Yes, some higher power was watching out for you then as well, but this week? Napalm Death?! Yeah, this higher power kicks the other higher power’s ass (assuming guiding spiritual entities have asses, which they probably don’t). This is definitely turning out to be a good week.
