I hear that Miley Cyrus is finally speaking out about those Vanity Fair photos. I guess she's upset? Just a programming note, in case someone's looking to pick up that Paul Weller: the US is not getting the two-disc version. That was a very limited run in the UK. It's a "double album" type thing, but it still fits on one disc. NIN is limited and numbered, so if you want a low one, go get it. 250,000 is a dubiously high number for a limited edition. Yeah, it's technically limited, but really, how many copies was this going to sell? Oh wait! It comes with stickers, guys!

Man there is a lot this week. I really like the Buddy Guy record and I'm very impressed with the remastering job done on the U2 releases. The added material is a bit weak in spots, but the sound of the original albums is fantastic. I'm also pretty impressed with NIN's The Slip. I've never been a NIN fan, but I like the instrumental record from earlier this year and am surprised at how much of Slip I like. I'm looking forward to that Bowie set (my Amazon order should arrive tomorrow).
