It’s a pretty great week for new releases. If you’re heading out to your local record store here are a few we recommend. Also, just a quick side note. We have decided to forgo an mp3 for the Raconteurs new album in fear of disappointing the Web Sherriff. He’s been in such good spirits lately, wishing so many people Happy Easter. We definitely don’t want to be held accountable for upsetting him. Make sure you check out Consolers of the Lonely though, because it is good. I recommend purchasing it on vinyl; I know that’s what I’ll be doing.

These albums can all be purchased at Insound.
