There are a lot of metal acts releasing albums this week. Despite my not having listened to their music, my assumption is that a band employing the moniker Bone Gnawer that releases an album entitled Feast of Flesh is going to have a sound I don’t particularly enjoy. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s a girl with a guitar. But I doubt it.
Not much else to get excited about this week as far as new releases are concerned. Like always, there are a couple of tracks after the list. Check Amazon’s full list if there was an album you were expecting to see out this week.

Just something brief because I have a date for brunch with my girlfriend. It’s starting to feel like fall already here in the Northeast this weekend, which I like, but not while it’s still August. The Mets are already out of it, and have been for a while, and the Bills already have “stuff to work on.” I’m thinking about making chili, but will save it for when it’s September – probably Week 1 of the football season.
As I feared, I have had less and less time to work on stuff for the blog because of a busy schedule. I’m not lucky in that I can’t edit or write stuff on the blog from work, but each job has its own downfalls that I’m sure everyone can attest to. Perhaps some day I will have this luxury, but for now I will need to write things in advance or get up early. Never mind my complaining, here is the next 
Considering today’s musical landscape, the amount of time since the public heard from Nate Ruess is nearly an eternity. With albums being leaked, devoured and subsequently discarded prior to their release date, an artist who leaves the spotlight for a year and a half – with another year and a half before that since his last release – is committing career suicide.
This week’s Smörgåsbord is a little bit different than most weeks, but only because we’re not featuring three straight remixes. Instead, we’re serving up an acoustic Mike Doughty track that was recorded in a Subway in NYC, another track off of the Miike Snow album, and a little cover of a song you may know. Dig in before it gets cold.
Due to the fact that my girlfriend and I have been sucked in by the first season of True Blood (pun intended), I don’t have a pithy opening prepared for this morning’s post. With that said, let’s get after the latest installment of 
Contrary to yesterday’s post, I am fairly certain this song will be enjoyable to a large populace. What is similar about this song compared to yesterday, is that I have had it bouncing it around for a while on my computer yet have written nothing about it. I also haven’t listened to the remainder of this record either in efforts to get a further impression about the band’s music, but once again plan to remedy that fact shortly.
I’ve had this song bouncing around for a while now and haven’t written anything about it. I actually like it quite a lot, though I’m not sure if it’s the type of song lots of people will enjoy. I also haven’t actually listened to any of the rest of the album, so I can’t give anyone an impression of what their other work sounds like, though I plan to remedy that shortly.
