New releases: Aug. 21, 2007

If you want to honor our lil' buddy, the compact disc, and his 25th birthday, you could do so by picking up some friends for him to party with next week.

Of course, if you choose from this list, it'll be an indie-rock themed bash. So be sure to stop washing your hair now, shine up your hipster glasses and press and starch your favorite ironic retro tee. Who's ready to RAWK?
