Continuing my tradition of posting big playlist dumps on holidays, here's one for the most beloved holiday of all, right? Some outstanding new music releases over the past weeks, including Terry Anderson & the Olympic Ass Kicking Team, Gino & the Goons, Mary Timony, TV Sound, Mal Thursday, Pearl Harbour, the Sleeveens and more. Sadly, I also did some tributes in recent weeks to the legendary likes of Dexter Romweber, Mary Weiss, and Mojo Nixon. Missing them all!
