In December, it’s almost nothing but reissues, “deluxe” editions and compilations being released. Still, let me give you some sort of rundown of things to look out for in your local record store or online this week. New or remastered material from Atoms for Peace, Blur, Can, Interpol, Memory Tapes, Mogwai, Scott Walker, Smashing Pumpkins and Wiz Khalifa. Short list, right? Well, Pick Your Poison is regular sized, though later this month it’ll be going on a brief hiatus for the holidays. For now though, we’re in good shape. Please enjoy tracks today from Circle, Communist Daughter (covering The Mountain Goats), Do Make Say Think, Prudence Rees-Lee, Shelf Nunny and TKTTSM. In the Soundcloud section, stream some delightful bits from Brother Dege, Kate Boy, Rick Ross and Stepson (El-P and Nick Diamonds).
