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. In addition to my selections below you can download new albums from
Pink and
Snow Patrol.
Most of us weren't lucky enough to get down to Austin for
Southwest by Southwest, but that doesn't mean we can't relive the experience through
good music and very cool photos. (Combine the two, and it's almost like being at a concert!)
Looking through some of the best shots from SXSW, I was struck by what a British Invasion there was this year, from keynote speaker Pete Townsend to much-discussed performances by
Lily Allen, Bloc Party,
Amy Winehouse, and
The Pipettes (above). I've got photos from all of those shows and more, so check out my SXSW gallery when you read more
Photos include Winehouse, Allen, Townsend, Bloc Party, Mika, the Bravery, the Pipettes, and — just because it's funny to see him actually performing — Cisco Adler.
The weekend in the city that
Bloc Party envisions on its sophomore album is ruled by party-ready riffs and thumping beats. But beneath the pop-punk surface of
A Weekend in the City lurks a sort of disheveled, drug-fueled dystopia, giving the melodies a much-needed edge.
Fans will appreciate that the follow-up to
Silent Alarm never veers too far from its predecessor's path, with frontman Kele Okerere's regal, slightly overwrought vocals coating some of the most soaring guitar work in rock.
