Low - The Great Destroyer is what January? I like it and so will everyone

Decemberists - Picaresque. Best Decemberists album yet. Seriously it is staggering

New album by the Books in March? April? Sometime. Delicious I bet

Also, collaboration between Prefuse 73 and the Books - Prefuse 73 Reads the Books. Clever

The Mountain Goats album that I think is coming out this year

Oh dear

I like the new Low. A little heavier, but it's cool. The Low box set was a nice little collection, as well.
