Getting your player ready...
Prince, “Planet Earth” (Sony) If you lived in the U.K., you might have gotten a copy of this record for free in a newspaper. (Prince included copies of his last CD with each ticket purchased to his last big tour, another controversial marketing ploy.) But in America, you’ll need to buy this romp – and it’s worth your money.
Garbage, “Absolute Garbage” (Almo) This best-of collection reminds us why we first fell in love with Garbage. This two-disc set includes the previously unreleased track “Tell Me Where It Hurts.”
Tegan & Sara, “The Con” (Sire) These Canadian twin sisters hit pop gold with “So Jealous,” and now they’re back with more melodic indie rock tailor-made for FM radio exposure.
