Ready or not, here it comes. The first Friday of September — and the first Bandcamp Friday of the fall — promises to be the crazybusiest day for music in several months, with more than 450 new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes jamming their way into my inbox and earholes. And I fully expect that number to swell well beyond 500 by the time we get to the end of the week. Get busy listenin’ or get busy dyin’:
