  Several new discs: urlLink She's In Control by Chromeo. Sounds like a rev'd-up modern day Cameo, mixed with a dash of Grand Master Flash, electronica, and Black Eyed Peas. It's awesome. Almost guaranteed a spot on my ten best list for 2004. You can listen to it on their urlLink label's web site .
One of my favorite bands, Lambchop, released two CDs today, urlLink Aw, C'Mon and urlLink No, You C'Mon . There own record label calls Lambchop "the most fucked up country band in Nashville. " If you've heard their last few albums, you know they've taken some extensive and bizarre steps away from their down-tempo country roots. Now, the band (13 members in its current configuration--only one guy has been on all their albums) sounds like minimalist Burt Bacharach.
I've listened to them each several times and I have no idea why they released these as two separate discs (outside of the fact that it wouldn't all fit on one). They are not thematically different, nor do they contain different types of songs. It's kind of like Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion I & II (both released on the same day, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Waits have also done this trick)--just a whole lot of Lambchop.
