Looking at this week's release schedule, I found that this week seems to be B-Sides and rarities week for a number of inReview artists. Here's the info:

• Tooth & Nail rock band Anberlin, after three albums, is putting out a collection called Lost Songs that includes 4 B-sides, 3 acoustic versions of album tracks, 5 cover songs, and a Christmas song. Nearly all these songs and non-acoustic versions have been available to fans via online bonuses, special editions of albums, and other compilations, but it si a great way to get everything in one place.

Delirious? has carved out a new corner of the Web for fans to peruse, and are christening it with free music. The lads are offering "God is Smiling," a track from their forthcoming album Kingdom of Comfort, to all those who register at "The Living Room," a section of their official website that offers blogs from the band and a series of other features being added weekly. Kingdom of Comfort is slated for an April '08 release, but you can download "God is Smiling" now. If you happen to be in the UK this fall, you can also catch them on the road:

In 2005, Deepspace 5's The Listener embarked on a unique tour that found him in very odd - and relatively small - places. Dubbed "Listener's Tour of Homes," the venture consisted of a number of small concerts in attics, living rooms, front yards, and back yards - as well as larger spots like skate parks, art galleries and amphitheatres.

"We had such an amazing time," says an unnamed 2005 Tour of Homes attendee in a recent edition of Listener's e-mail newsletter. "It's the kind of DIY touring and music making we love to do, and you guys [the fans] have done a fantastic job of making us household names in a ton of households."

Dc Talk is reuniting. For one song. On a solo project. Again.

Toby, Mike and Kevin appear together on "The Cross," the second track on Kevin Max's upcoming album The Blood. Though "The Cross" is a rocker, the album is being billed as one in which Max eschews his usual rock stylings as he explores music that resonated with him when he was younger.

The Runaway has been nominated alongside heavy-hitting Canuck Manafest in the Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year category of this year's Covenant Awards, a show similar to the United States' GMA Awards and administered by Gospel Music Association Canada (GMA Canada).

Kanye West appears to be winning his head-to-head battle with 50 Cent for record sales supremacy, but both rappers are likely to move fewer units than they did with their previous albums.

This is the verdict of a Reuters news article that cites Billboard magazine as saying West is projected to sell between 575,000 and 700,000 copies of his new album Graduation, while 50 is likely to sell between 500,000 and 600,000 of his new offering, Curtis.

It won't exactly be a battle of wits, but the rumoured debate between 50 Cent and Kanye West is apparently a go. The two will face off Tuesday on BET to argue the merits of their respective albums - Curtis and Graduation -- according to the Associated Press.

I found the following post on the Switchfoot Myspace blog quite interesting. I wonder what our readers might speculate. Rather than beating around the bush or trying to summarize the eloquence of the writing of Jon Foreman, lead singer of the San Diego based band, I shall simply quote the blog right here. After reading, please take some time to submit your thoughts on the switch!

Yesterday, Caedmon's Call divulged months and months of secret information to the fans and the Christian music world alike.  It has been little known for a year or so that Caedmon's Call's last album, In The Company of Angels II: The World Will Sing was their final album under their contract with Essential Records/Provident Music Group.  It was rumored that Caedmon's would stay independent, but yesterday's announcement told of signing with INO Records, one of the few labels in the industry that has a more independently-minded model.
