Sheryl Crow
Detours
Release date: February 5th, 2008
The word: Crow’s first single, “Shine Over Babylon” is an environmentally conscious song, which is boring and lame. Less lame: hot, recently-dumped 45-year-old cougars. Rwar.

Lil’ Wayne
The Carter III
Release date: February 12th, 2008
The word: After several years of mixtapes between studio releases, this serious emcee with a serious drug habit is back with a much-anticipated southern rap banger.

Michael Jackson
25th Anniversary of Thriller
Release date: February 12th, 2008
The word: 25 years later and the world’s biggest selling zombie album of all time has its creator looking more undead than ever! Thanks for the joke Jay Leno!

The Black Crowes
Warpaint
Release date: March 4th, 2008
The word: The Black Crowes’ first studio album in seven years sees this blues rock sextet (schoolgirl giggle) get their groove back after going on hiatus in 2002.

The Young Knives
Superabundance
Release date: March 10th, 2008
The word: Rumor has it this British indie trio’s third album is pressing a ton of copies, so plenty should be available. An abundance, if you will, a super abundance. ZING!

Other Releases To Look For (dates not set): AC/DC, Nicole Scherzinger, Lenny Kravitz, Jack Johnson, Simple Plan, Mars Volta, Janet Jackson, Metallica, Goo Goo Dolls, Michelle Branch, Ashlee Simpson, Snoop Dogg, Coldplay, Offspring, Mike Jones, Weezer. And the B-52’s, if you’re stuck in the 80’s.
