Out in the UK on Monday

Here's the notable stuff that's out in the UK on Mon Nov 17th...

Singles:

Skint & Demoralised - "The Thrill Of Thirty Seconds" [Vid. Debut from Wakefield kid.]

Grammatics - "The Vague Archive" [Vid. 3rd single from Leeds 4-piece.]

Jay Jay Pistolet - Happy Birthday You Ep [No vid? Debut from Hampshire kid.]

The Killers - "Human" [Vid. Great 1st single from their 3rd album. Ugly artwork though.]

The Verve - "Rather Be" [Vid. Incredibly weak 2nd single from their 4th album. This song was written by just Ashcroft and it makes sense since it sounds exactly like any number of the songs on his solo albums, only not as good.]

Also out this week:

• Florence And The Machine - "Dog Days" [Vid. Debut from English chick.]
• Stars And Sons - "In The Ocean" [Vid. Debut from Brighton 4-piece.]
• Howling Bells - "Into The Chaos" [No vid? New song from their upcoming 2nd album.]
• Duffy - "Rain On Your Parade" [Vid. New song from the deluxe edition of her debut album.]

Out in the U.S. on Tuesday

Here's the good stuff that's out in the U.S. on Tues Nov 11th...

Longwave - Secrets Are Sinister [Vid. 4th album from underrated NY 4-piece.]

The Smiths - The Sound Of... [Stream. 2CD. The remastering sounds great, but the tracklist for the 2nd disc is a disaster. Why are there album tracks on a disc of supposed rarities? And if they have access to the Troy Tate sessions, why didn't they just include them all? Also, Rhino, it's called a Peel Session not "Sessions."]
