Here’s the first of a few backlogged entries. -ed. Drake’s Take: New Releases 05.26.09 For a holiday-shortened week, there’s no lack of quality in the releases…

Drake’s Take: New Releases 04.07.09
Call me a philistine, but I really just wasn’t “feeling” the new release from the much ballyhooed, Micachu & the Shapes. I found the first single off the record “Golden Phone” somewhat enjoyable, but the rest of the album more or less just got on my nerves. I also had the chance to sit down…
