I claimed Friday’s new releases two days ago wouldn’t be much a week before and I was right, and sadly, I’m afraid to note that next Friday’s new releases are also a disappointment. For the first time since 2009, I can’t find a most anticipated (except for Christmas, New Year, like that when nothing is released). I am listening to some of the new Jewel Box and I seriously wish I wasn’t except for “Billy And The Kids” more of Bernie’s infatuation meets more of Elton’s alright for dancing vibe and it was just as good in 1986 where he disappeared as a B Side. .
