Donald Fagen – Cheap Xmas
Full of the spirit of Christmas cheer (check out the album cover) and fresh from round one of the legal spat with the estate of the late Walter Becker, we finally have a chance to get a hold of some of Fagen's more recent albums, bundled here with a full disc of unreleased material.
Donald Fagen - Rhymes
The Staves & yMusic – The Way Is Read
Interesting collaboration by the close-harmony singing Staves and New York chamber ensemble yMusic – imagine them singing along to a suite of Philip Glass/Michael Nyman numbers and you're halfway there!

Belle & Sebastian – How To Solve Our Human Problems (Part One)
First of a three-EP project sees a Glaswegian exodus from the confines of the dancefloor occupied on Girls In Peacetime and a welcome return to the fey pop which is their forte.
Belle and Sebastian – I'll Be Your Pilot
Tom Rogerson with Brian Eno - Finding Shore
This second album by Rogerson sees him team up with Eno and a gadget called The Piano Bar that converts the sound of the piano into midi signals, which were then further manipulated. "It was this classic Eno, almost scientific thing," Rogerson says now. "He always finds a system that can be a source of creativity."

Morrissey - Jacky's Only Happy When She's Up On Stage
Second single from Low In High School is a pop song in the classic Moz style hampered by a somewhat overenthusiastic drummer. Of more interest perhaps is the B-side - a Tex Mex-tinged live cover of Elvis's You'll be Gone.
