Some weeks it’s about quantity. Others, it’s about quality. This time it’s a bit of both. There are more than 110 albums, EPs and singles being released next week. Honestly, that’s about average. But this week, unlike some others, there are a ton of releases I want to hear. So many, in fact, that rather than spend hours writing blurbs for them all — and make you waste your time reading all that piffle — I’m just going to highlight them in the list and toss in a few videos. Mark your calendars and pre-order your favourites — but don’t blame me if things change at the last minute:
