Welcome to the week’s New Releases, in its new home on Tuesdays. Since we’re in the US, we get our new stuff today. If you’re reading this elsewhere, we might look a little bit outdated.
As for releases, there doesn’t seem to be much that’s compelling for us today beyond the Caribou release; Dave is a Doves fan, so he might be interested in their Best of since there are a couple of new tracks mixed in; beyond that, there’s the Rufus Wainwright and the Kate Nash releases. I may check out the new one from The Radio Dept. as well. It’s really your call this week. Go with what you love and you can’t go wrong.
There are a few tracks like always. Have an excellent week.

The Radio Dept. – David (The Rice Twins Remix) (mp3) from David [Single]
I have a suspicion that I wrote about this song before, but I can’t find where I did. (It may have been on my old blog.) Regardless, I love the way that Ms. Nash can’t seem to figure out how to play the piano through the first verse of the song. She plays the same two notes, repeatedly, and then – just after the chorus ends for the first time – what she’s been trying to play finally comes to her in a wave.
