For albums unassociated with a deadline, I’m trying to make a little something happen between the PO BOX and the box that goes to the record store. You can thank me later.

MCLUSKY
McLuskyism 3 CD set
Too Pure
I need to catch a case of McLuskyism! Holy Hot Garbage!! I miss out on everything!!

THE BLACK HEART PROCESSION
The Spell
Touch and Go
I’ll never hear this record…but it’s great!! A career definer!! Consider me incapacitated under this spell!!

DESTROYER
Destroyer’s Rubies
Merge Records
It’s really been a slice getting to know this one. The lotion on Bertie Higgins’ sunburned shoulders!

PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES
Elan Vital
Matador Records
Not as “vital” as the Firefall record of similar titling, but many of these tracks match the Fiestaware-Against-The-Wall feel of Rick Roberts’ “Strange Way.”

ARAB STRAP
The Last Romance
Transdreamer Records
This guy likes to throw down!! Sign me up for a “major rager” with Mr. Moffett!!
