QOTD: Looking forward to any upcoming releases out before the new year?

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
8 Mile soundtrack
Badly Drawn Boy - Have You Fed the Fish?
Rat Pack - From Vegas to St. Louis

I'm really looking forward to the new Roots disc, as well as the next wave of Elvis Costello reissues. I'm curious about the new Talib Kweli disc, too. There's probably other stuff out there that I'm awaiting, but those are the first that came to me.

The one disc I am eagerly awaiting is Skillz' (formerly Mad Skillz) second disc. It was supposed to come out last month, I think, but like 90% of hip-hop releases, it got delayed. I think it's dropping in January. I'm also waiting for LA Symphony's next disc to emerge from legal/label limbo and get released. Who knows how long that will take.

They Might Be Giants - Then: The Earlier Years
Diana Krall - All For You
V/A - Golden Age of Blue Chicago
Sonia Dada - My Secret Life

I've looked at the list of upcoming releases and can't find anything I need to get -- seems like it's packed with popular artists releasing pre-Christmas items (naturally), and the only artist that meets that criteria I like is U2, and I picked up their CD Tuesday.

As is usually the case, I'm waiting for critical (and forum) opinion to solidify on albums, so my next album purchases are likely to be by Neko Case, Spoon, and Rhett Miller.
