Roundup Update
Rather than posting a roundup every week, I'm going to start posting every other week, since I've had a lot on my plate lately. I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but maybe I'll be able to do one every week in the coming months.
Special thanks to @yungdirty for helping with the New Releases section and @AlexTR for reporting the news about Smashing Pumpkins!
