The Cribs are back with their latest single "Men's Needs." Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos gets his first credit as producer for their third album Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever. The video makes it obvious what these "needs" are.
I'm sure there are many more records from smaller acts that I'm leaving out, but I'm really looking forward to these full-lengths. Time to visit Coinstar.
