The main big new release this week is Don't Believe the Truth from everlovin' Oasis. Early reviews seem to be pretty good.

Four years on, they've finally come up with a sountrack album for The Shield, otherwise known as the greatest cop show in the history of television. However, The Shield: Music from the Streets certainly does not provide an overview of the outstanding music that has been featured on the show. Having seen every episode of the series at least half a dozen times, I only recognized ONE song (other than the theme) that was actually on the show. However, that song, "Let's Ride" by Conejo totally kicks ass. They seemed to lean heavily on stuff in the range of Mexican rap in picking songs for this supposed soundtrack.

Here's the complete list of this week's major new releases, courtesy AMG:

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.

I found out about the Paul Collins Beat The Beat/The Kids Are The Same To Beat and Or Not To Beat/Long Time Gone CD reissue from you guys, but I read on Paul Collins Beat official website that they have a new album called Flying High. It's 12 songs and the clips I heard sound really good.
