Nothing for me this week but it's great to see all that variety. Hopefully we get more weeks like this in the future.

I now have Sitting On The Dock O' The Bay stuck in my head. Dammit! Nice week though.

I bought the entirety of Rust in Peace last week and still haven't played it, on account of Mass Effect 2. I'll be passing on next week. Interesting selections, though!

Otis Redding and The Chemical Bros for sure. I'll have to check out the others before I decide.

Very interesting week. Stray Cat Strut is a huge surprise on top of the Otis Redding surprise. Not my thing, but Chemical Brothers is equally unexpected. Probably will pick up Setzer (Not Stray Cats?) and maybe the full Otis Redding pack. The Alphabet song sounds like cool retro-pop, so that could be a future pick-up, too.
