Just as with Counting Crows earlier this week, I’m revisiting albums from 2008 that I like but haven’t heard lately. Now batting, Coldplay’s Viva La Vida. God, I hate that title.

In case you missed it on the B-Sides Concept Album last week, Oasis is releasing their new studio album Oct. 7. It will come as a standard [...]

I don’t think we’ll have to worry about whether or not the AC/DC has spent the last eight years getting any new or big ideas. Just perusing the track list should comfort fans and detractors alike.
AC/DC will return with their first album in eight years when Columbia Records releases Black Ice on October 20 exclusively [...]

Best Buy is going to be the exclusive retailer for the official live souvenir of The Police’s (likely) final tour ever; one more nail in the coffin of consumer choice.

James Tayloris set to release an album of covers — cleverly named Covers — through Starbucks’ Hear Music label on September 30.
I’m kind of curious about this set. I’ve never been a James Taylor guy in the past. Don’t misunderstand me: I think the man is incredibly talented. He has a smooth voice, an inimitable [...]

It hasn’t been the hottest summer for new music this year so I’m already anticipating a fall/winter overflowing with essential purchases. Oct. 7th just got more expensive. I’m already buying Oasis’ Dig Out Your Soul and now there’s a new Bob Dylan collection being released that same day. The eight volume of Dylan’s “Bootleg” [...]
