Snoop once accused fans of only loving his Doggy Style, and this week, that just might be true. Hopefully going over better than Doggy's Angels is Snoop Dogg Presents... Doggy Style All Stars: Welcome to Tha House, Vol. 1, featuring tracks by the Doggfather himself plus Lady of Rage, RBX and Soopafly.

The Reindeer Section — brainchild of Glasgow musician Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol — showcase the talents of their 27-odd members including folks from Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian, Teenage Fanclub, the Vaselines and Arab Strap on their new release, Son of Evil Reindeer.

Brit rock doyenne Marianne Faithfull releases Kissin' Time with guest spots from Beck, Blur, Pulp and Billy Corgan alongside new albums from Sparta (Wiretap Scars), Brad (Welcome to Discovery Park), and Slum Village (Trinity).

And just when we thought it was possible to go a week without writing some such about so-and-so's new remix album, along comes Dance for Me by Mary J. Blige. The album features re-workings of "No More Drama," "Rainy Dayz," and "Family Affair." No hateration, please.

Epitaph Records' fourth annual Punk-O-Rama tour sees headliners Guttermouth pounding the pavement with Fenix TX, U.S. Bombs and the Deviates for six weeks beginning in May.

Dates have only been confirmed for the first leg of the punk junket, which kicks off May 8 in Corpus Christi, Texas, and ends May 29 in Detroit, but additional gigs are expected, according to an Epitaph spokesperson.

Guttermouth's seventh studio album, Covered With Ants, was released April 10 and marks the group's first recording for Epitaph. Nitro, the imprint founded by Offspring frontman Dexter Holland, released previous albums.

Fenix TX will follow last year's eponymous debut with Lechuza, expected May 22, according to their publicist. After the Houston quartet complete the Punk-O-Rama tour, they'll join Rancid and 311 on this year's Vans Warped Tour (see "Warped Tour Adds Rollins Band, Lists Dates, Cities"), which begins June 22 in Phoenix.

U.S. Bombs are touring in support of their fifth full-length album, Back at the Laundromat, and on May 8 the Deviates drop their debut, Time Is the Distance, produced by Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge.

To coincide with the tour, Epitaph will release the Punk-O-Rama 6 compilation on June 5. The 23-track album includes cuts from Epitaph artists including Bad Religion, Rancid and the (International) Noise Conspiracy, as well as previously unreleased tunes from the Descendents, Millencolin, NOFX and Pennywise, whose cover of X's "We're Desperate" features a duet between singer Jim Lindberg and X's Exene Cervenka.
