What to Download: New Music on iTunes
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections:
A little rock: I added this album from The Walkmen to my list of must haves for August because I'm a fan of their dark, boozy rock — but I know they can be an acquired taste. The new album, You & Me, has already won me over with singles like "In the New Year" and "Postcards from Tiny Islands." This album might not be the biggest deal of the year but I remain a fan and am definitely adding this to my iTunes library.
Earth to music lovers!: Yippee! New Dandy Warhols is finally here and their sixth album Earth to the Dandy Warhols is getting some mixed reviews. Rolling Stone says the album is a "misstep" while the Guardian calls it their "most self-assured set yet." What to make of such diverging opinions? Well, it will always be difficult for them to top "We Used to Be Friends" in my heart but we've all agreed that "World The People Together (Come On)" is great, and this other new track called "Love Song" is totally sweet (I think I hear banjo!). So, we'll have to judge for ourselves but honestly, I'm already sold.
Two more singing ladies, so
