Stuff's all pretty much out for the Christmas season, so we're looking at some re-issues and dregs for the rest of the year.

Rhino does have a two disc re-issue of The Cure's debut album, Three Imaginary Boys.

More interesting to really cool people though, apparently the first CD issue of Gram Parson's International Submarine Band's Safe at Home album.

Oh, and there's a new Ludacris album.

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.

Don't forget Eric Clapton with Sessions for Robert J as both CD/DVD and just a DVD alone. I just picked up the CD/DVD and it's excellent (haven't watched the DVD yet, being at work and all.) The CD covers some of the territory already covered on Me and Mr. Johnson earlier this year but they are different takes, and has a bunch more Robert Johnson tunes not on that disc. The DVD covers most of Johnson's material in both acoustic and electric settings.

I don't really care much for Clapton's non-blues output, but when he takes on the blues, it's pretty damned authentic and impressive.
