There aren’t many moments in my sorry-ass life when I get to feel like a character from a blockbuster action movie. But today is most definitely one of them. Trouble is, my character ain’t the muscle-bound, lantern-jawed, quip-spewing hero who singlehandedly saves the world (along with his hottie-scientist girlfriend and faithful dog) from whatever destructive forces are mere seconds away from decimating the planet. Nope. Not even close. Me? I’m the ineffectual, bad-postured shlub who finds himself up standing on the shore at the very moment the asteroid/alien death ship/massive tidal wave/sharknado/whatever comes crashing down upon him — as he helplessly gazes with shock and awe upon its terrible beauty, knowing for certain he is doomed and has squandered his life for nothing. Which — not to put too fine a point on it or anything — is how I feel about today’s onslaught of new album announcements. I’m not even going to try to run and hide from this vast wave of albums, EPs, singles, live discs, box sets, vinyl reissues and who-the-hell-knows-what-else. I’m just going to surrender, let it all wash over me and tell you to run and save yourself. So pick up your gun, make that impossible leap across the bottomless chasm to safety and flee to the calmer waters of the Upcoming Releases page to see how it all turns out. God help us all.
