Every Tuesday I look forward to the new music downloads available on iTunes. I hear the alarm go off, and my first instinct is to grab my computer and sift through the good, the bad, and the ugly unleashed on the ears of society. However, this poses a dilemma each week: which albums are worth buying? I can search the internet, hit websites like Alternative Press and Rolling Stone, and read what the professionals have to say. But, honestly, who cares what some stranger in a high rise thinks of the latest from some indie rock group. I want to know from someone real, someone like me, if the album is honestly worth my time, or if I should just buy the first single and move on with my life.
My friends often email me, call me, or text me, asking me the same question: is the album good? What new music is out there for me to listen to? Even worse, more of my friends don't know what's out there. Whether its as mainstream as Britney Spears, or underground, like the cult following of Hanson (and yes, the three brothers from Hanson are still making music), many people are still in the dark about what music is up and coming, and what music is gratefully fading into the sunset with the rest of pop culture from this first decade of the new millennium.
So, if you're wondering what music you should be listening to, and what you can live without, you've come to the right place. Here you'll find reviews of new music, along with some of my personal favorites, and those albums you should ALWAYS have in your collection. You may also find the occasional playlist that may be a good addition to your iPod.
