January 30 Notable Releases

A few of the 2235 new and reissued releases coming out this week.

Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah -- Some Loud Thunder

Nora Jones -- Not Too Late . Starbucks, Borders and Amazon must have serious anticipation boners over an artist who sells actual compact disks.

Harry Connick Jr. -- Oh, My Nola. I sense someone is looking to leach off the Nora Jones week one drippage.

Lily Allen -- Alright, Still. See Nora Jones note and think the opposite. It'll be interesting to see if the $7.99 strategy pulls her numbers up (cds, not myspace btw).

Various Artists -- Endless Highway - The Music Of The Band. The Band rules, howevs, tribute albums are often spotty affairs. Plus I think this album should come with a free pair of J.J. Casuals.

Gilby Clarke -- Gilby Clarke. Mr. Clarke was in Guns n' Roses for almost 4 years, ending his tenure about 13 years ago. If he was still in the band, Chinese Democracy would be the first and to date only album of original Gn'R material he'd appear on.
