New Music Releases For The Week Of 11-19-13

NEW Music releases are virtually non-existent this time of year so I may not be doing many of these betwixt now and early 2014. There are a couple I want to highlight though. Are you putting together a list of your favorites from 2013? I am. If you are, I'd love to see yours. Yours being your list. Pervo.

Here are some records worth exploring for the week of 11-19-13:

Virgin / Universal Records

A Perfect Circle 'Three Sixty'

So I MAY have posted something about not liking greatest hits records. I still don't but at least this one has some cool stuff on it. You definitely want to go with the 'Deluxe' version. If you buy the deluxe version, Maynard will come to your house and get you all hooched up on wine and you guys will watch the new Puscifer DVD together. That alone is worth it. You also get a few extra tracks AND a black cover instead of a white one. I don't know. I still wouldn't buy this but they are all fantastic songs. In more APC news, Stone & Echo the live collection recorded at Red Rocks (the world's greatest venue) will be released next week. You can stream it now at Consequence Of Sound.

Century Media Records

Insomnium 'Ephemeral'

I mention this EP not so much because I love the EP but because I love the band. This EP has 4 tracks on it but it feels like one song with some (albeit cool) instrumental stuff. Technically there are four songs though. Technically. Check out their 2006 release 'Above The Weeping World' to see how cool this band really is.

Tee Pee Records

Harsh Toke 'Light Up And Live'

I had never heard of this band before yesterday but when I saw they were on the ALWAYS righteous Tee Pee Records I knew they were worth a listen. You can count on Tee Pee records man. Such a cool label. Anyway, this band is jamtastic. There are 4 tracks here as well but the disc still clocks in at around 40 minutes. Check these guys and check some of the other artists on Tee Pee Records. Do it for you.

Loma Vista Records

Ghost B.C. "If You Have Ghost"

I've written extensively on Ghost. I always suggest listening to their "Opus Eponymous" record if you're new to the band but this Dave Grohl produced covers EP is cool and if you're going to release a cash grabby record for the holiday season I prefer this to a greatest hits record any day. Also if anyone in the Ghost organization is reading this, I'd like to be a Nameless Ghoul. Say when and I'll be there.

And that's it. That's the list. I always want to know what you're listening to. Tell me here.
