October's Frightful And Delightful New Releases

While October is the month for all things ghoulish and macabre, it is also a very interesting month filled with new releases (The Corin Tucker Band, Tricky, KT Tunstall, Finger Eleven Kylesa), reissues (Crowbar, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Morrissey) and classics from the vault (Bob Dylan, Liz Phair...well, the Girlysound portion of the double disc). In addition to all of these albums, there are several music games coming out from the debuts of Def Jam: Rapstar and Power Gig: The Rise of the SixString to the highly anticipated sequels of DJ Hero and Rock Band. Whatever you buy this month, be sure to play it loud at your Halloween party.
