CAPTAIN OF CONDIMENTS! COMMANDER OF HAMBURGER! COMMADORE OF FRENCH FRIES!

Oh ketchup, though you may no longer the best selling tomato-based accompaniment in our fair nation (salsa has surpassed, alas), you still are our sentimental favorite if for no other reason than your providing a helpful pun for when one has fallen behind. So, in honor of this, national ketchup millennia, we are well dressed with a nice dollop of the red redeemer as we announce that this week we will be spreading some catch-up of our own. Beginning Monday and every day this week we will be bringing you our thoughts on five (count-em) releases worthy of your consideration from right here in the city that made James Coney Island famous. Some of these releases have been out for a while, some of them came out just this past weekend and we’ll cap the whole week off with our thoughts on the ACES new LP by the Riff Tiffs, whose release party is just a few days away. We are stoked.
