Lots of new releases this week, but none that I’m particularly excited about.  Though, I am a little intrigued with A Camp, a collaboration between Nina Persson of The Cardigans, and Niclas Frisk. At this point, I will pretty much listen to anything Persson is involved with.

Some other notable releases include Bob Dylan’s Together Through Life (his 46th album!), Thee Oh Sees’ Help, Immaculate Machine’s High, Still Flyin’s Never Gonna Touch The Ground, and Japandroids’ Post-Nothing (vinyl only).

As always, feel free to recommend anything that we may have missed!

While the opinions on Watchmen have been decisively split down the middle, I think one thing we can all agree on the is the excellent opening credit sequence that plays over Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin’.”  The company who created those credits, yU+Co, have made it available online to view in glorious quicktime. Cheers to to the folks at CHUD for the heads up.

To be honest, this was one of the only sequences where a pop song worked perfectly.  One of my major gripes with this film is that a lot of the choices of music feel completely out of place.

Check out the video after the cut below which I’ve embedded. My post seems to cut off some of the video size, so I have it set to auto-play.

Update: I think the video has been taken down. Sorry, folks.
