I have been wondering when (and if) it was ever going to slow down for summer. Well, it finally happened — there are nearly 100 fewer albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week. And not a moment too soon; all that beer in my fridge isn’t going to go out to the patio and drink itself, you know. Crack a cold one, take a leisurely stroll through the list and see what grabs you:
