What Should I Buy This Week? [New Releases for 3/16/10]

Hi:) As we approach the annual musical mind-messer known as SXSW — an event that many who read this blog (and many who write this blog) will no doubt be attending — it seems like an opportune moment to prepare ourselves for what’s to come in the days ahead. Let’s face it, for all the different types of music on offer in Austin this week, folks are bound to be inundated, if not straight-up overwhelmed, by a towering inferno of rawk. You’re gonna need some palate-cleansers for all the rocking that’s gonna be happening in the Lone Star State, and even if you’re not SXSW-bound, let’s face it, a little variety ain’t gonna kill ya. In fact, it might just turn you on.
