Release Day Roundup: 9/6/24 | Heavy Blog is Heavy

Top Picks

No long-winded pieces this week, because I’m going out to Bleeding through in a location roughly the size of my living room and I don’t think to schedule it until I walk out the front door, which means you can just enjoy this week’s releases without having to wade through all my usual nitpicking. Enjoy!
