Upcoming Releases:
Pitchfork has posted an impressive list of upcoming releases for the first four months of 2010. I did a little bit of trimming to point out the highlights since there are quite a few albums to be excited about. Some are follow-ups to incredibly popular debuts and some, signs of life from dormant major players in the music world. You can bet that having a major (read: hyped) release during this period makes for high chances of that band making an appearance at Coachella; David Bowie has two(!!!). For a full list from pitchfork, go here.
