Summer-Fall 2008 Releases

What follows is a selective and somewhat idiosyncratic schedule of record releases. We'll update it as often as possible to ensure accuracy, but some of this will change without notice. Artists have been alphabetized by their first names.

Previous weeks' release schedules are archived below, back to August 2007.
NEW FEATURE: Many of the listings in the archived release-schedules now link directly to a review of the album on the ND website; scroll down to the archived entries to take a look.

New entries are in bold. Each Tuesday morning, if the creek don't rise, we'll take all the previous week's entries out of bold and start fresh.
