The biggest release this week isn’t even coming out until Black Friday – so pick it up at 4AM if you’re going out shopping, or whenever you wake up from your turkey coma if you’re sane enough to not go shopping. Blakroc – the collaboration between The Black Keys and rappers ranging from Mos Def to Q-Tip to Raekwon – hits shelves on Friday, and it’s probably the most excited I’ve been about a release this year – and this has been a great year for music.
If you’re not into that, there are various mainstream big releases to vie for your attention, so check out the list and pick your poison. I have two completely unrelated-to-the-list-and-to-each-other tracks after the list, but they’re ones that have been in my head over the past week or two. Have a great holiday shortened week.
