Here's a look at some of this week's new releases:

Bizzy Bone "The Midwest Cowboy" - I remember Bone Thugz N Harmony... Whatever happened to them? Apparently, they're all making solo albums that quickly fall off the radar soon after being released.

Jamie Kennedy & Stu Stone "Blowin' Up" - I've seen the MTV show, and wasn't impressed. Kennedy acts like he wants to be a serious rapper, but I have to assume it's all a joke, because he's horrible. Maybe this is an attempt to make up for "Son of the Mask," but that wasn't funny either.

Anna Nalick "Wreck of the Day (Extended)" - Her concert at Ziggy's on Friday was really good, but that doesn't mean I'm going to rush out and pick up this album for just three new songs - and demos at that. I'll never understand why artists do this - it only hurts their true fans.

Phish "Live in Brooklyn" - They're not together any more, but I'm sure they could release live albums for decades to come.

Pink Floyd "Pulse" (DVD) - My fingers are still crossed for a reunion, but until that happens, you can just watch this DVD over and over. It contains a live performance of the complete "Dark Side of the Moon" album.

Soul Asylum "The Silver Lining" - I remember the video they did that was tied to "Clerks." So, it's kinda funny that their new album comes out as "Clerks 2" is about to be released.

Thom Yorke "The Eraser" - The Radiohead frontman releases a solo album. He's a creep. He's a winner.

The bands with animal-related names releasing albums this week: Caribou, Cattle Decapitation, Phish, Sabertooth Tiger, Typical Cats, Wolverine
