As the Christmas box sets come piling in, Drake takes great pains to sort out the power pop from the poop. (NOTE: In addition to “Welcome to the Night Sky”, Wintersleep‘s “iTunes Live Sessions EP” is also now available at the US iTunes Store.) -ed.

Drake’s Take: New Releases 10.28.08 – 11.03.08
It’s a Drake double header this week (though not really a jumbo edition) and I must admit his choices have me a little bit puzzled. The Q-Tip release all but passed me by completely and I thought the Deerhunter record came out ages ago (I guess because it leaked sometime in June). Over on this…
