whoo-hoo.. newww!

New music for today!

John Mayer- Where the Light Is
There are three sets included on this new live release! An acoustic show with just Mayer, one with his whole band and a set with the John Mayer Trio! All three were recorded in December of 2007 in L.A. at the Nokia Theater. This release is available as a double disc, a DVD or on Blu-Ray

Los Lonely Boys- Forgiven
The band’s third release. Produced by Steve Jordan, known in part for his work with John Mayer.

My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade is Dead
My Chem is known for their dramatic approach to music and their last album, The Black Parade showed just what they were capable of conceptually. This release comes with a CD and DVD featuring a live performance from fall of ‘07 (if you saw them on that particular tour, they played the whole album track by track… in order). There is a mega special edition available for the super fan on the band’s site, www.mychemicalromance.com

Tickle Me Pink- Madeline
This is TMP’s first release on their new label deal with Wind-Up. The release features an included DVD with a live performance from their hometown, which happens to be Fort Collins. “Typical” is the song you may recognize and it indicates the rest of the album is completely worth checkin’ out! So, do it!

Alkaline Trio- Agony & Irony **Sam’s Pick**’
I’m only going to mention the features of the deluxe edition because there’s no point in getting the regular version when you can have oh-so-much more! This edition includes a bonus CD with acoustic recordings. The sound of AT has evolved ever-so-nicely over the decade the band has been together. Singer/Guitarist Matt Skiba has a gorgeous voice and we are finally getting to hear it as the band continues on in their melodic direction. One thing hasn’t changed: though evolved, the lyrics are still dark and disturbing for the most part… just the way we like ‘em.

Relient K- The Bird and the Bee Sides
There are 24 tracks on this album! Ok…not all of them are new… 13 are, though, so there’s your full new album. The remainder is (The Bee part) 13 remixed/remastered songs and a smattering of other excellent stuff that hasn’t been available before today.
