This Week's Interesting CD & DVD Releases
Holiday albums are at the top of my list this week. 30 Minute Meals' Rachael Ray has curated a holiday album, How Cool Is That Christmas (pictured), but I am most excited about Aimee Mann's effort, One More Drifter in the Snow. The Andy Partridge Fuzzy Warbles box set gets its US release tomorrow, and will make the perfect gift for the pop fan on your shopping list, as would Scott Walker's In Five Easy Pieces remastered box set. Other notable releases this week include +/-'s Let's Build a Fire, The Walkmen's Pussycats Starring The Walkmen, and the Bright Eyes rarities collection, Noise Floor.
What can you recommend? What are you picking up?
