new duffy, jason mraz and indiana jones!

Here are some of the new releases for today!

Duffy- Rockferry
Duffy’s story is a fascinating one. She grew up in a very remote part of Whales without much musical influence surrounding her. She didn’t know what was cool, she just discovered a love of music and created an album that sort of transcends genre. Very charming.

Jason Mraz- We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things **Sam’s Pick**
It’s no secret that Mraz “found himself” while preparing to write and record his new album. Mraz’s lyrical style seems to only get better and better and this new album is some of the best new work I’ve heard. A MUST have.

Filter- Anthems for the Damned
The hardcore Filter fan may find this new release a disappointment, but new fans who haven’t been exposed to the rockin’ Filter of the mid-nineties might be ok with it. Just seems like the fire continues to fade with these guys. Kind of a bummer.

Evanescence- The Document Unauthorized CD/DVD
The DVD of this set has some new material, but the CD has interview material that has been previously released in some form or another. Take a good look at it before you add it to your collection.

City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra-The Indiana Jones Trilogy: New Recordings
Just in time to tantalize us before the release of the new movie later this month comes new recordings from the scores of all three movies. And do I have my tickets for the midnight showing on the 22nd? YES!!

Iron Maiden- Somewhere Back In Time: The Best of 1980-1989
Korn- Live at Montreux 2004 (DVD)
Ryan Cabrera- The Moon Under Water
